The BT couple are finally having marital problems!

[CaptainWacky]

He's got a job far from home. They try to talk over the internet, but he's got a shitty connection (no BT Home Hub) and she is angry! The situation is NOT resolved by the end of the advert. It could be all over!

 

[Gagh]

Perhaps they should move to Virgin - oh hang on, not don't, BECAUSE MY FUCKING CONNECTION HAS BEEN GOING DOWN AT REGULAR INTERVALS OVER THE LAST FUCKING WEEK.

What does BT stand for? I NEED TO KNOW!@

 

[Gagh]

British Telecom.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Although if they're owned by some foreign company, they'll go the way of BP and change it to Beyond Telecom, while making no effort whatsoever to actually go beyond telecom.

I haven't seen this ad yet, but considering how much he goes on about home hubs, you'd think he would've brought one with him!

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's interesting, because the ads are usually standalones (though in the same continuity) so we might never know the resolution to their problems. I want a DVD boxset of all the ads with director and cast commentery.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Weirdos all over the net will be forced to write their own twisted endings to the story (with a little Chris Marshall/teenage boy fiction thrown in).

 

[CaptainWacky]

The teenage boy hasn't been in the ads since the one where he had some friends over to watch their BT tv and his parents came home and "caught them" (they were doing nothing but watching tv) and he looked all ashamed of himself.

I think they murdered him.

Do you think they'll do a new advert where they recieve a letter from BT telling them about all the illegal music they've downloaded with thier BTHomeHub®?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Maybe! Is it only BT who are doing that or should I be worried on Sky broadband?

 

[The Tomtrek]

BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse.

I'm on Virgin.

But honestly I really doubt anything will come of this, as anyone who gets one of those letters will either:

A) Ignore it completely.
B) Change their downloading method to a more anonymous one.
C) Change ISP.

Is youtube crap at the moment?

I downloaded an entire movie off bittorent last night in 4 hours, yet I cant watch a simple youtube clip without it pausing every 3 seconds while it gets new data.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I download more wrestling than I do music anyway and hardly ever movies. And letters aren't scary.

 

[Gagh]

They are when I write them!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Because you write them in children's blood!

 

[CaptainWacky]

^No, that's Jack Harkness.

I THINK THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED.
