I'm not sure I like the look of the Monster Munch (or the other nibbles)

I'd like to see a fight between the Bird's Eye pervy polar bear and the pervy Jammy/Toffee Dodgers monkeys. I dont know why those ad characters are not prosecuted, stalking women the way they do.

To the makers of that advert: Get with the program you idiots!

Sounds like you would like to punch his (green) lights out!

I did used to like their categories, once you had learnt your way around them it was a much quicker way to find what you are looking for than searching.

It looks like a flash based advert. I use FireFox coupled with FlashBlock and hence I am immune from these annoying adverts.

Stop hijacking my thread. This is supposed to be a rant about that IRRITATING GREEN LANTERN ADVERT on yahoo.co.uk that takes over my browser window. Stop banging on with the crisp puns and get slagging off the Green Lantern advert.

Oh dear. Maybe you really are a green horn?
