Question Should everyone in the Halifax advert be shot?

<rant>

I have a new one to add to this pantheon of the pathetic.

Ok so the advert itself isn't exactly the worst ever, but it's the pointlessness of the product that infuriates me. Let's review it shall we, a handwash pump that senses your hands are there and dispenses soap BECAUSE the hand pump on your old one has lots of germs on it. If their handwash was any ****ing good surely it would kill any germs you pick up off the pump?! It's pointless & it irritates me beyond belief.

Not sure if you listen to the Herrin and Collings podcast (think that is the right one), but Richard Herring has ranted about the pointlessness of this.

No I don't listen to it, but I now like Richard Herring even more than I did already.
 
So what about the tap handle that you have to turn off after you've finished washing your hands that has the same amount of germs on it?

They're idiots.
