Companies you avoid and why

[Moffo]

Harvey Norman - Gerry Harvey is the first reason. Second is their disgraceful replacements policy and use of shoddy third party repairers. Third is the fact that they don't have a number to call should you wish to complain about their shitness. I hope the company and their prick of an owner crash to the ground. It's what they deserve

Vodafone - bad service but worse, liars. Their network and customer service number are beyond horrible

3 - largely for similar reasons to Vodafone. More then comfortable at being dishonest and lacking in integrity

Who do you avoid and why?

:arrow: Four Corners

P.s. 3 and Vodafone are the same company...

Jim Beam - because of those f**king ads they just had with all the people screaming animal sounds.

Vodafone have slightly improved their customer service, still shithouse though.

Apple - Congratulations Steve Jobs on convincing kids, and the lowest common denominator they need an iphone etc, I hope you don't rest in peace, you merkin!

1. Definitely Harvey Norman. I had the misfortune of my washing machine dying earlier in the year and it was still under extended warranty with them. I called up the warranty centre and despite my insistence that they get a technician out to my house to fix it, they palmed me off twice claiming I should go through the maintenance section in my operation manual, which I did before I even called them. The third time I called up feeling pretty damn angry and insisted that I speak with a manager straight away. I gave the manager a gobful about his useless staff and he promised they'd send out a technician two days later. The technician noted that the mainboard in the machine died and it was definitely a warranty repair issue.

2. I would never take out an insurance policy with InsuranceLine. Their godawful ad that shows the mum and dad looking lovingly at the baby in the cot thus implying that if you love your family you'll take out a life insurance policy with them is plain vomit-inducing and nauseous. Terrible ads and you just get the feeling they're a pack of snake oil salesman trying to take advantage of families by going down the sentimental path.

3. KFC. Shortly after that kid suffered brain damage as a result of eating a bad piece of the Colonel's original recipe chicken, they come out with that sesame seed brand of chicken ad in Kentucky, NSW. They purposefully include a little kid in the ad saying "they should put a KFC right there!", and I just thought that was wrong on so many levels.

4. Swisse. I don't think I have to say anything here.

Apple is AIDS. Suck shit if you forked out cash for their crap

 

[gUt]

Coles, because of their f**king ads. Ever since that shill Lisa McCune and every f**king ad campaign since then... every time those ads come on the screen I put my foot through the TV and send them the bill.

 

[dogslife]

I'd wife Lisa McCune tbh

Coles, because of their f**king ads. Ever since that shill Lisa McCune and every f**king ad campaign since then... every time those ads come on the screen I put my foot through the TV and send them the bill.

Coles are pretty cringe worthy but Woolworth's latest ad campaign is even worse. That awful "Monday Tuesday I Love You" song that sounds like a cat being strangled is beyond reprehensible. Their idiotic marketing team then released a follow up ad where you can download the tune for free. They couldn't pay me to download that crap.

Not finished yet the geniuses at Woolworths marketing released yet another moronic ad with that washed up pop hack Ricki Lee and an ensemble of brainwashed school kids signing everybody's favourite tune. Farrrrrkkkk.

 

[Cliffhanger]

No commercials are more offensive than the commercials for X Factor, the way they glorify people like One Direction make me rage. Those shows in general deserve to die, not a company but they make me so mad.

 

[Knightmare]

Whoever is Man United's major sponsor (AON at the moment, so f**k them).

Any of Manly's jersey sponsors.

National Tiles- they deserve to be punished for allowing Frank Walker to make those f**king annoying ads.

Where I can I avoid shopping at retail chains owned by the Big 2. They can go about their quest to own a 50% share each of Australia and rape consumers with as little of my help as possible.
