Oh no it isn't. I went into the toilets of a department store and there on the top part of the Urinal there was the Put Your Advertisement Here sign. For God's sake! Do they really think that men standing there pissing will think "Oooh! They have a special offer on Michelin tires this month at Kwik-Fit. I must go there!"? Other really stupid ads including the E-Sure ones with Micheal Winner. It's one of those broadcasts where you want to horribly murder all the people in it. Then there are the ads which tell you just complete drivel, like the BT Networked IT ad where it says "In the digital network economy, where transactions are instant and secure...". ROFL! They obviously haven't been reading the news a lot recently.
