RSPCA – Simon Cowell and Fearne Cotton

6 August 2007 by Silky

Is this a spoof?

I’m fairly certain that it is Simon Cowell doing this advert but he sounds like he doesn’t really give a shit about animals particularly when set against the most enthusiastic person on Earth (“Wow, animal cruelty! That’s great. I mean it’s great that it’s so terrible…” etc ) Fearne Cotton.

I realise that it is supposed to be in the X-Factor/American Idol style but, again, is it a spoof? Is it really for the RSPCA? I get the feeling it might be new, really short comedy show on E4 (you know how our attention spans are so very low now-a-days)?

If it is for the RSPCA then I say “Come on Simon, at least pretend to care about something other than money and Sinitta!”.

Just How Bad is this Ad?

    It’s a worthy cause but a terrible advert maily because of the ‘spoof’ feel.
    Hopefully it will bring some money in for the RSPCA but Simon Cowell’s voice over is chronic, he sounds totally bored and Fern seems to totally miss the point.

    this makes a mockery out of animal welfare. It’s so false and fake. I really hate it and my mum even says the same thing.

    I can’t believe they’d ruin such a good cause with this type of crap.

    Simon Cowell truly sounds like he wants Poppy and Honey to die. In fact, he sounds like he’s just waiting for the opportunity to put the boot in himself, or maybe drown the kitten in a sack.

    Fearne’s hot though so I’ll forgive her.

    It’s pure Brass Eye! Their Animals episode they persuaded celebrities that there was an abused elephant in East Germany which was so depressed it had stuck its trunk up its own anus:

    It’s quite fitting.

    It makes about as much of a mockery of animal welfare as the RSPCA itself does.

    i think this is in COMPLETE poor taste and a disgrace that one of the biggest jokes (xfactor) could possibly be linked with something so serious. totaly Discusting

    [...] No sooner have we had to sit through Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach – a show about a show and then the show that the first show about a show was about – that we’re put through Rock Rivals – a show about the X-Factor but without the charm of Simon Cowell. [...]

    I hate Simon Cowell.
    I hate Fearne Cotton.
    I hate Simon Cowell and Fearne Cotton making a mockery out of animal rights. Cowell is one of the biggest cunts in the world. I hate his whole attitude to life: “If it makes a noise, I’ll buy the rights, market like crazy and make a killing”. This guy is only cares about something if it makes money. I’ll bet that when he was approached by the makers of this advert, he immediately asked how much the fee would be.

    And Fearne Cotton is nothing but an airhead piece of fluff.

    I hate the RSPCA full stop.

    They advertise throughout the mainland UK, including big advertisement campaigns aired in Scotland, where many animal lovers will phone in and donate money to save animals… while not realising that the RSPCA should really be called the ESPCA – English Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. While the RSPCA waste all this donated money advertising in places where they don’t actually bother to help, they are also taking money away from animals that need it.

    My money goes to the SSPA – The Scottish Society for the Protection of Animals. They at least only look for donations from people in Scotland, they aren’t immoral enough to con animal lovers into giving away money that isn’t even going to help animals in their own area.

    Wow those animals are better actors than on Eastenders.

    They say serial killers usually start by hurting animals.
