Am I the only one who finds the Fanta ads quite erotic?

Eye candy aside, I find the Fantana ads really annoying. The high-pitched singing and virtual strobe light of bright colors gives me a headache.

And yes, there erotic because they're supposed to be (don't you wanna?) Don't be decieved by the sirens! :P

I find their commercials to be excrutiatingly annoying. I have sworn to never touch Fanta(not that I drank it in the first place) I was that annoyed by the commercials.

It's doubley annoying since I only see the damn comercials at the movie theater and I hate watching comercials at the movie theater. They are some cute women and all but still....
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I don't mind them on TV, but find it annoying in the cinema, although there was one recent theatre ad that was kind of amusing (the record compilation one).

I also find it disappointing that there are only four flavours of Fanta in the US, while IIRC, Europe gets shitloads of flavours...

Certainly easy on the eye.

FUCKING HATE 'EM.
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

I hate annoying happy songs. And I REALY hate those girls, no matter how hot/good looking they are... if they are in the procces of annoying me then its the only thing I'm going to see/remeber about them.

God I hate these girls. Their ads resememble some sort of exercise in masochism. Especially the one where they guys in a body cast "Drink, drink, you have no choice but to drink foolish mortal!"

The Fanta commercials encorage me to never drink any Fanta whatsoever, even if it was the only method of hydration left on the Earth.

Personally, I like how our local cinema plays there commercial last in the lineup, and then cuts it off with the announcement as to the location of the emergency exits.

I think I've found a theoretical weapon to defeat these Fantanas, using existing remote-control and Nielsen-ratings technology.

EDIT: found during multiple failed googlings for something called a 'Gunvertor', a TV remote shaped like a Browning M1911A1.

Minus the whole concept of "We're watching what you're watching" I could definately go for it.

I would hit it with the Fantanas, even if it meant I had to actually drink Fanta.
