Hair-raising shampoo ads
Why is it that every day we are constantly bombarded with shampoo ads for White women but not a single one for Black women? Who is doing all this media planning? 2 Nov 2004

What's going on with MTN and Vodacom? They're both flighting such similar campaigns (Gimme Summer/Yello Summer), but the most fustrating thing is that they're really bad. 21 Oct 2004
Tiscali Billboard
Spotting the cat in bandages and its paw in a sling...my initial (as I was driving by) thought was, it's a animal rescue ad! 20 Oct 2004

The Great South African series concept was inherently flawed at the outset. But the worst of it is the radio ad (which ran on Sat 16th after the series was cancelled in the media last week). 20 Oct 2004

Have you heard the radio ad for the apple flavoured Energade that proudly sponsors our SA team? What you put in is what you get out, or so it goes. Pity the Cricket team is doing so badly. 29 Sep 2004
