TV Advertising

Kids programs these days seem to be quite educational(perhaps they have always been) and unsurprisingly Maddie is a fan, current favourites include the ubiquitous Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Peppa Pig. Sadly even on pay TV these are interspersed with adverts.

You can always tell when the ads are on as they are normally accompanied by Maddie saying: “I want to buy that!” (normally some weirdly coloured lump of overpriced plastic made to look far more exciting than it really is).

Actually if you listen to a whole ad break it normally sounds a bit like this:

“I want to buy that!”
“I want to buy that!”
“I want to buy that!”
“I want to buy that!”
“I’ve got that!!”
“I want to buy that!”

Of course we won’t be buying everything and neither will she but as it’s becoming a current catch phrase I thought it worth reporting.
