DFS adverts banned!

I think I can safely say that whilst watching the DFS ad, not once did I actually notice the sofas they were trying to sell.

I'm sure they make their adverts purely to irritate people rather than get customers!!

should have just used midgets/dwarfs

I did indeed remember that it was DFS, but it still doesn't make me want to buy a sofa from them

I for one am sure that they are using visual techniques to imply qualities beyond those provided to advertise that Nissan Qasquai thing as i've never been able to stand on top of a car and control it like a skateboard!

You're not trying hard enough

I suppose the red suite does look a bit over sized.

MooMoo444 · 3 Dec 2008 at 15:31

I wish they would fix the loophole that allows them to advertise as half price when they are infact not.

I much prefer these adverts to those bloody Safestyle windows and doors adverts, with that bloke who constantly shouts the offers.

Does this mean if you bought your sofa before the advert was banned you could sue somebody?

Why bother? It costs money and time to sue people.....and for the price of a DFS sofa? Just not worth it imho. Its not as if you wouldn't have had to go to the store and see it in the flesh as it were. If you thought the size was slightly off then, surely you wouldn't have bought it?

I've never seen it...

Nearly as bad as 'new build' show homes being furnished with furniture that is 75% the size of the real thing. So you happily buy your new home only to find that the settee you buy just wont fit in the same spot as the one you saw on the show day.

Just look at the Burger King adverts, like a burger could ever look that perfect!
