that advert about National Lottery Olympics funding.

forzaborza [Edit] [Delete] 12 replies 20:33, 30 June '12

the one where the girl likes running, lacks the ambition to do something about it, so settles for a guy from a factory, becomes a baby machine, then pushy mum's her own daugter into living her dreams for her.

the worst advert, quite possibly of all time.

when did it become the norm for advertisers to make these vomit-inducing weepfests aimed at menopausal rosé drinkers?

  • I agree, it's terrible

    Someone on my facebook called it 'inspirational'. I nearly unfriended them.

    I think Hovis started the trend, and John Lewis picked it up and ran with it. That Christmas one with the boy was just awful.

  • Thing is

    you'll be a menopausal rosé drinker one day and when that day comes you will fucking love them, vomiting and weeping along.

  • it doesn't add up. The mother looks about early 30's when the kid is about 8

    then when she is about to run in da OlyMpICS the girl looks about mid 20's and the mum about 65. JUST WHEN DID YOU HAVE THIS FUCKING KID?!HOW OLD IS THIS ATHLETE?

    • none of it makes sense

      doesn't the mum grow up in the war? but then the daughter is running in the present day?

        where its a girls life long dream to climb a tree, so they take her to the rain forest and hoist her up a massive one.

        They HOIST her up!!
