Advertisers really do treat the public like a pack of morons.
How about the series of building materials ad on TV where the Doris fronting the ad implores you to phone 0800GIVEUSMONEY or something and always shows you a telephone while she does it. I always feel like saying "Oh, one of those things, riiiiiight, I was just on my way to the backyard to send you smoke signals".
