If it were as easy as that Toby, POE would not be struggling to host the website as they are right now...

Lol. Being in the states I haven't seen the advert in question, but I do know what you mean about annoying television adds. There are some adverts that I find so annoying, or even offensive, that I will never use the product just because.

One advert here that I find especially irksome is one for Uncle Ben's Rice. The add suggest that you should eat Uncle Ben's Rice because it makes you sexier to the opposite sex. I find this so completely insulting to my intelligence that I have boycotted Uncle Ben's products in my house!

I wonder what the advertisers would think if they realized that they actually drive some people to stop using their product rather than buying it? Lol.

It's been a while since I've seen it, Krissy. Basically, it's a couple getting all hot and bothered while feeding each other rice. Now I don't consider myself particularly naive but what the flying ducks has rice got to do with, ummm, you know. Maybe it's wild rice? God! Let's hope it's not minute rice. ;-)
