HEADPHONES Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Anyone seen the Alexa ad. Young girl loses football match and is in a mood. Later that night mum is woken by her kicking a football against the garden wall. "Alexa.....what time is it?" "4.40AM" "Alexa.... SWITCH ON the garden light" then gives daughter Camera pans out and it's not a house in the middle of nowhere but with neighbours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Yeah, I thought the same ... a bit like the basket ball ring next door - bloody annoying for a couple of years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thought exactly the same thing on seeing that ad. We used to live in a row of terraced houses with small gardens. Two doors down there was a family with a spoiled brat who repeatedly kicked a football hard against a fence and constantly kicked balls into neighbours gardens. Parents seemed to think it was unreasonable for anyone to object. One of the reasons we now happily live in a house with no immediate neighbours.

coldel Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I think if people have a decent sized garden then let the kids play ball in the garden for a bit stop being such miserly old moaners but certainly 4am isn't the right time for it!

ilogikal1 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 There's no part of that advert that demonstrates good parenting, from the outset. But then... it's an advert. For Amazon's world domination. So meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 My brain goes in to a special mode when adverts come on, I could not tell you anything about any adverts I have seen, not a god damn thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a bit of football in the garden if you have a suitable garden, but the gardens where we lived were tiny and every time the little sh*t kicked the ball hard against the fence it sounded like a gunshot. His other exploits included hitting our elderly neighbour on her back with a cricket ball. No apology from the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skate2create Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Glad I'm not the only one... winds me up every time it comes on (which seems as frequent as every other ad break these days apparently).. I'd be straight outside and squaring up the little sh*t at that time of the morning. Luckily I live in the countryside, so the worst I get is woken up v.early or late at night by the farmer opposite when he starts/returns in his noisy Defender during the peak harvest time. I can forgive him for that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people upload them to, seek them out on, and post links from Youtube... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
