On the skirt of my latest Sci Fi posting (Dr. Who), this UK advert was a little too creepy for my tastes. Pause the Playlist to hear the warning...

I was wondering how you could be an hour "behind" my time and then I got the answer: you're BRITISH!
ReplyDeleteYou're british, a woman, LDS and a science fiction fan? I love you already. Ok not so much the part about you being british but I know my sister will be happy that I am in touch with a member in GB.
I am not so much a Dr Who fan but it is nice to watch it here and there when I get a chance to. Actually one of my favorite British show is Ab Fab. And I never know which one of the two I identify the most myself to.
Um...HOLY Big Brother Batman!!! Yea, that's a little out there...is it really a serious ad???
ReplyDeleteGood night IRENE. Remember the Beatrice ads about 20 years ago? They only ran for a short while because I think they creeped people out. It said, "Hi! We're Beatrice!" Then they'd go on to show all the brand names of everything we're familiar with. Beatrice owns everything we buy! Talk about Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteYours is creepier. :)
I liked it.
ReplyDeleteThat's very creepy!! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteYup creepy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by btw. I checked your other blog and I think perhaps that wad of hair under your stove was even creepier than this!
OK, whoever thought of that is freaken brilliant. What an anaology that packs a punch. Yes, I get a little creeped out by it but I suppose I'm the perfect patsy, until something bad comes of it I'll just glide along. Did you read that post a while back where there was someone who stole someone else's blog identity and rewrote if as their own? Now THAT is creepy!
ReplyDeleteHey, what's that? Shay says another blog? I've gotta go looking...
I have a dumb question: What is a TV license? And I should be afraid of it? I'm too confused.
ReplyDeleteOk, yes-- this is seriously a real advert that plays here on our TV.
ReplyDeleteA TV license is required for anyone who owns a tv-- whether or not you ever plug it in. A colour TV Licence costs £139.50. A black and white TV Licence costs £47.00. (for U.S. dollar conversion, take the amount X 2). The fine for NOT having one could be up to £1000.00.
Backandthen, I'm American-- you'll still like me?
I'm with you. It's a little creepy. It's bad enough suspecting all of the stuff they could know if they read their databases, but to have them remind you is icky.
ReplyDeleteYes, very scary sounding. Like a hideous sci-fi flick where "they" know everything about everyone and track your every move. Wonder why they felt the need to totally frighten everyone with this advert?
ReplyDeletecreepy.
ReplyDeletetrue...but still creepy.
We're always being watched! Definitely on the creepy side for my tastes. Trouble is that it really is true. So much of our lives can be inspected without our knowledge or permission anymore.
ReplyDeleteUm, yikes!
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of "The Matix" movie, actually.
