Ads? Let's be completely, absolutely and seriously real - they suck. There are about a billion types of ads on T.V right now and about 99% make me seriously question my faith in humanity. So without further adieu, welcome to some types of ads that drive me absolutely crazy.

The first bone I have to pick with ads are when you can't even tell what the hell they're on about. Yep, these types of ads can include anything from flying pigs to pooping unicorns and make just about as much sense as Donald Trump's campaign. Needless to say, they make no sense at all. Not only are these ads misleading and seriously confusing, but they snap me and just about every other teenager out of our couch-potatoing Saturday afternoon as we try and figure out for the next few minutes what exactly that ad with the twerking monkey was actually about.

Disclaimer: if you're a male, squeamish about the 'p' word or just not in the mood for a rant about female hygiene ads, please feel free to skip this paragraph. :)

Now, I'm sure we all know where I'm heading with this. Tampons? Pads? I don't need a T.V ad to tell me that a majority of us ladies are forced to one or both of the above every single month and are probably not loving it... Well, let me just paint the picture. I'm lying on the couch watching T.V, cursing whatever higher power there is for crippling me with period cramps while I'm eating out of a chocolate ice-cream tub (what can I say - I'm great at multi-tasking), and then all of a sudden an ad comes on about the latest winged, ultra-thin liner that guarantees to feel like a non-existent pad which will suddenly turn me into an ultra-social, super-smiley party 'gal. Like, come on #overlyunrealisticads101. I mean, for one, it's going to take a whole lot more than a "sanitary napkin" for me to be anything like that girl in the ad, flaunting a perfect gym bod in seriously white jeans.

Cosmetic ads. Oh my god - if I see one more waxing ad, where a picture-perfect model a) waxes b) shaves or c) all of the above, her hair-less legs and hair-less arms, I'm seriously going to throw something at a wall. I mean, ad directors, if you really want to impress the females of this world, get Chewbacca on live camera and try to wax his leg. Now we're talking. While we're on the topic of cosmetics, it's probably a good time to mention the make-up ads. I'm sure we've all seen the girls with feathery eyelashes, the most perfect red lip look and seamless eyeshadow on T.V, and trust me, I'm definitely one of those people that's hoping for the T.V screen to eventually turn into a mirror. Because, let's be real who doesn't want super visible, super dark, super curly, super long eyelashes? But again, try out these wonderful cosmetics in the store and 9 times out of 10, they come out looking a) super tacky b) super different from the ad or c) like blatant crap. Now, I'm sure some of this may come down to my level of cosmetic skill in makeup application or lack thereof, but I think it's fair to say that heaps of cosmetic ads just don't match up with the final product. Annoying, I know.

The final category of really questionable ads is the ones that just consist of kids on camera. Yes, yoghurt companies advertising a kid eating out of a yoghurt tub for an 2 entire minutes, and yes art shops, advertising kids splattering paint hand-prints all over white walls for the entire ad, I'm speaking to y'all. I know that most parents think that their children are always adorable and that their little toddlers are like clones of Michael Angelo compact into little three-year old bodies, but some of these ads are getting a tiny bit ridiculous. Honestly, if I wanted to watch minutes worth of kids doing their thing - messing up walls, eating food, thanking their mum for their cuddly clothes (thanks to the latest laundry powder) - I'm more than happy to drop past the nearest daycare or pay my little cousin a visit. But on that note, I think it's time for me to stop dissing the poor, little toddlers. They're cute, I'll give them that.

And in conclusion, I thought that I might add (yes, pun intended) a little quote I literally just came by: "doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you're doing, but nobody else does." Now, just saying, wouldn't the world be a way more awesome place if we all refrained from pervert winking, kept out winking little eyes to our winking little selves, and even better, if we stopped all the super unrealistic, annoyingly persistent and frustratingly confusing ads? Thought so.
