They sound gay, or fat, or fat & gay.

Don't the brits have truth in advertising laws?

Because including the word "definitely" turns the bottom right ad into a blatant lie.

I recall Krystal running some print adverts that essentially looked like people frolicking in vomit.

Nope; there definitely is a God. That ad doesn't specif which God there is, so they have a ton of wiggle room.

Not approving are the hundreds of different Gods and gods that the world's religions have.

Bottom image appears to show Germans judging by the er.. German flags. Next one up shows the type of fertilised egg from which all Scottish children are born. I find it culturally insensitive that you would mock it. Next up is a Photoshop. Next up depicts two homosexuals allowed out in public without even being shot at or having bibles thrown in their faces, the benchmark of a civilised society. The top one is delicious like you people wouldn't believe.

As long as it isn't brown people singing with their mouths full of KFC, because the Negro Community frowns on those kind of shenanigans.

omg I used to hate those Carl's Jr. commercials with the ketchup dripping everywhere sooooo bad. I mean seriously... some slob dribbling condiments all over his furniture and his shirt is supposed to make me want to be like him? Some 30 yr old guy who eats like a poorly trained toddler? I refused to buy even a french fry from that franchise for years as punishment.

And WHY, in every fast food commercial I've ever seen, do they have to make the sound of chewing so goddam loud? My father would have backhanded me right off my seat if I had made that kind of noise at the dinner table.

I can cook the most delicious, fantastic fry-up (if I do say so myself), but I can't make it look pretty.

I think the problem in that case was that the people eating in the advert gave the inaccurate impression that KFC is fit for human consumption.
