Must admit that amazes me too. Saw one on telly the other evening and said to the wife ''if there's a need for so many products like that then there's a design fault in there somewhere''

She couldn't see what I was getting at but when I said, ''there doesn't appear to be a need for a product called Nobisil'' I got 'that' look...
 
I'm completely bewildered by those McVities cakes adverts that are on at the moment ... the ones featuring the idiot on a drum kit at the end. I just can't figure out what they're trying to tell me.

I really struggle with TV betting advertising. For most of us betting is an occasional bit of fun - and most who do it regularly can control their betting. But there is a minority of gamblers for whom betting is life destroying - and not only their own./ So I do rather question ads that encourage betting. The addicted find triggers very difficult to control.

The fact that the betting companies try to make then curious (see Ray Winston as the Cheshire Cat) or amusing doesn't help as these approaches are usually simply designed to attract non-gamblers to placing a bet.

Some context on these views - my own gambling is limited to an occasional go at the Lottery - I avoid doing it regularly. Also earlier this year I did once get to interview stage of a good job with Ladbrokes - but I didn't know until then who the company recruiting was - so I declined the interview. I have met and talked with addicted gamblers at their 'bottom' - when all has gone.
