DSTV Hot Summer Ad: K@k irritating!

[d0b33]

DSTV have burned that tune into my skull, I cant get it out of my mind.
I can hear it playing clearly in my head while I'm typing this.

Doesn't bother me particularly

My point exactly. Ads always manage to make or break a song. Especially break..

Like stand up for the champions on supersport.

What point exactly did Postmanpot make, by posting True????????

These channels come from a single international source where the schedule is set for all distributors. So they make provision for ad breaks. If the local stations do not have enough paid-for ads, they fill it up with this kind of material. They wouldn't leave it blank as that is equivalent to silence on a radio station, people would just tune it out.

Multichoice cannot reschedule the breaks and start times and override the rest of the planet.

They could put previews or clips from upcoming shows though. OK I guess it costs a bit more to find some interesting cliff-hanger material, edit it and then add the titles and schedule it to play - doing it enough each month to avoid repeating the same thing over and over again.

Its just that Hot Summer song. I used to like it when it was the radio. Now i want to fxck1ing shoot the TV!

While we're on the topic of DSTV songs in adverts. What is the name of that classical song in the NatGeo channel advert where all these facts are displayed on the screen (like - "are there more atoms in a single drop of water than there are stars in the universe?), then at the end the ad, you see Einstein writing E=MC^2 on the blackboard? What's the name of the classical song in the background?

I think it's Edvard Grieg's...

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" towards the end of the composition

I'll have to double check when the ad comes on again.
Now that's a tune I'll never grow sick or get angered by

True. I dig that tune.

I'm not sure I know which ad this thread is referring to

It cant be as idiotic as the Coke Brrrr ad.
