    Default Holden, time for a new ad, for god's sake

    I duno about anyone else, but i am so fuggin sick of every holden ad on tv having the same annoying song playing in the background.
    That has got to be one of the most over used songs in advertising, i cant stand it.

    It's that song with that bitch singin about "standing on the rooftop shouting out baby i'm ready to go", urgh, its not even good singing or a good song!!

    Holden's had new ads sure, and visually, they are always tip top, but they havent changed that song for months, its really ****ting me. Time for a bloody change, bring back Acca Dacca like on the old VU SS ad, that was the go, piss this annoying sheila off, "standing on the rooftop" etc, i wish she'd bloody fall off the roof and shut up!!

    Sorry to carry on, but that epica ad was on every ad break last night, and this song is drivin me nuts. Your thoughts...?

    apparently Holden can't show ads like them anymore because it encourages hoons and s*** like that

    Yeah i remember hearing on the radio a while ago that it was banned because it was inciting people to do burnouts or something. Idiots.

    I think its a good song personally...in fact i liked it so much i bought the album off iTunes. The only problem is that i've played the absolute crap out of it, since i liked it so much, so now i'm god damn sick of it! :P
