Cruddy ad


Saw the tv ad for the Wild Bean Cafe and it's crap.

A man pulls up in his car with his date and she nervously asks him if he would like to come in for a coffee. With a look the man says no, leaving the woman on the pavement confused. Then we the man getting his coffee from BP Connect Wild Bean Cafe.

Now, what makes this ad totally shite is the fact that the woman is bloody gorgeous and that coffee from a petrol station is fucking awful.

I'm sure some spotty advertising type thinks that's exactly what makes the ad work in a post-modern, ironic way but it doesn't. It makes me want to root a sexy woman. No way on earth would I want a coffee from a petrol station.

I can believe that BP are pumping millions into sustainable fuels and renewable technolgies yet no one in their right mind could believe that their pissy coffee is preferable to a shag.
