Compare-the-fucking-meerkat.com

This really is a 2 fold hatred. Firstly, its a shit advert. The whole basis of which is hinged on the similarity between the words market and meerkat. The fact that these 2 words are not similar in how they sound is not an issue though, as they've computer generated a Russian meerkat, complete with terrible accent, to cover up this oversight. You honestly couldn't make this shit up.

The second part of my gripe comes from the extensive use of the word "simples" from this advert. Sometimes you wish the grammar police carried machete's. The word "simple" is singular, it never has or never will be plural, and despite this fact, you sound like a fucking retard when you say it. its about as cool as having "The Crazy Frog" as your ringtone. ZANY!!!!

And to top it off, the funny people at comparethemarket.com have designed a sister site actually called comparethemeerkat.com. If you ever fancy dying a slow death from boredom, or realise that your life has no fulfillment and purpose, go take a look. Find me one who can say the word "Simples"...... And if you do, its time to call the circus, cos you're looking at some serious cash there sunshine.
