Glade. They've always done absolutely dreadful adverts. There was that one of the kid on the pan shouting: "It's all gone! It's all gone!" What had gone? His Glade Touch 'n' Fresh. However, his crap stunk up the place so bad that he locked himself in the bathroom, presumably in some dirty-protest, with a pen and paper, which saw him slipping a note under the door to his mum saying something like 'I'd give it 10' or something. However, somehow, Glade have managed to outdo themselves with their latest commercial, which extols the virtues of shitting in someone else's house.

I know how irritating and irrational children are. Everytime I meet one, I always think 'you're not being smart enough... if you want to get your own way, play 'softly softly' and you'll get it... don't strop'. Of course, some strops do work, usually with fawning, idiotic, pushover mothers. However, what would any sane parent do when faced
with their child shouting "Muuuum! I want to do a poo!" followed by surly "I want to do a poo at Paul's!"
If that was me, my dad would've invariably said something sarcastic like "Tough. You'll have to poo yer pants then" and my brother would've taunted me for life... and mine wasn't remotely a 'tough' household. I have mates who would have been given two options in that scenario. The first would've involved going to their own toilet for a poo... the other would've involved having it kicked out of them in the street.
Anyway, that's not my real problem. What I can't work out is why Glade would claim that their product is so desirable that it warrants other people using your bathroom. Does poor old Paul has a queue outside his house with people hopping around from foot-to-foot shouting "I'm snipping it here! HURRY UP!" It doesn't matter how good Glade 'Touch 'n' Fresh' is... if you've got people coming 'round your house just to take a dump, soon enough, your life will resemble the last day at a music festival... constantly.
If you haven't seen the advert... by far the worst advert of the past couple of years... watch it below.
