## Can you picture yourself (primal) screaming with every swing of the bat “I will not have my insurance premium go up!”? ##

Hell, I’d do it for lulz…

The ad is gash tho…

I think you will find that the concept behind the adverts was the fact the instinct is to band together and protect. ADT’s alarms are monitored and if set off ADT will call the police. Obviously the ad didn’t get its message across.

What I typed above was:

“At least you might be able to reason with the robbers.”

Unlike a monkey or a TWA reader neither of which has the capacity for reason.

Yes, I think that if I found a burglar in my house I WOULD quite happily beat the living shit out of him with a cricket bat, or any other heavy object I could find. I work hard for my belongings, so why should I let some thieving little shit help himself and possibly endanger me and my family in the meantime?
And I agree with the last post, how on earth can you ‘reason’ with them, jesus wept, get real.

Hi, as someone who has just chased a hoodie burglar out of their nice suburban home in a nice middle class road in the dead of night I can assure you that the advert isn’t too far from the reality of modern Britain. I never thought I’d need an alarm but I will be getting one now.
And “at least you can reason with a robber” – what a load of complete bullshit.
Wait until you have to face four hoodies armed with screwdrivers and blades with nothing more than a rolled up copy of your bloody Guardian to defend yourself.

As a hypochondriac I, just as a small by-product (amongst other things), have an abject “Fear of Doom”. Therefore this advert is very threatening to the stability of my mental health. I’m only saying..
And don’t get me started on the flu jab ads…They could kill me. I don’t really think that that was what they were aiming for, to be honest.

It’s a jungle out there,

This advert irks because it reinforces the negative press we are getting and peoples perception that as soon as you venture forth from your house you will either:

1. Be mugged and raped

2. Have your house broken into and your personal belongings strewn about the place. Fear selling should never be used.

Same goes for all those anti-bacterial adverts “do you have young children? Do you cook food? Spray everywhere, you may have left ecoli for them to eat…”
