PC Bastard World

Another advert that outrages me because it makes no sense whatsoever: WATCH.

SHE'S FUCKING STOOD RIGHT THERE!!!

This is utter madness.

BT Again

BT's advertising has pissed me off again. You can watch the advert I've been offended by here.

What kind of utter utter moron is this woman? How the fuck do you 'lose' a folder? Let's think about this for a moment, this woman has somehow managed to press on or click 'delete', click 'yes' on the invariable dialogue box, right click on the Recycle Bin and then click on 'Empty Recycle Bin', all by accident. That takes a special kind of computer illiteracy. Why is she even allowed to touch the laptop? I'm guessing in a future advert it turns out that she's the chief person in charge of the new NHS computer system. It'd all make sense then.

But there's another thing I don't understand. Why is so bothered about losing pictures of her kids as babies? She's got a teenage son, so unless she travelled in time to get a digital camera years in advance (a bit much, even if you like technology) then those files are scans of originals that she still has. That is, of course, unless once she got a computer with a scanner she gathered all her photographs into a big pile and burned them all in a big bonfire, shrieking: "Hahaha, I don't need you anymore, you photo bastards!" But that's unlikely. In fact, if she loves those photos so pissing much then why has she never fucking printed any of them out?!

Perhaps I let these things bother me too much. Perhaps I shouldn't let myself get turned into Poirot by an advert. Perhaps I shouldn't keep being surprised by the antics of a family who are all so fucking thick that they bought a house based solely on the availability of a telecomms package. But there again, perhaps these advertising agencies should make some adverts that make some fucking sense! Grrr...

Oh, one last thing. If that woman can't even stop herself from compulsively deleting her photos then how the fuck is the going to conjure up the IT skills to make the back-up software work? Eh? Didn't think of that one, did you BT? You fucks.
