revolution saint Posted 7 October, 2009 Share Posted 7 October, 2009 Is anyone else really annoyed at not just the advert but the fact that everyone says simples all the time? It's not even a proper word and is getting close to "wassup" irritancy levels. Also why is the meercat probably Russian and almost certainly east european? It doesn't make sense.

It's a bit like asking why a gorilla should play the drums. I have no idea. But it just works. The people who dream this stuff up (like the Argentinian who came up with Phil the Gorilla and the bouncing balls down the San Francisco street) get paid a FORTUNE.

LVSaint Posted 7 October, 2009 Share Posted 7 October, 2009 I use it with my 7 year old. It still has some play value left as we don't live where it was ingrained into popular culture and therefore isn't totally crap...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 7 October, 2009 Share Posted 7 October, 2009 The website is good. You can create your own meerkat. You take a mummy meerkat and a daddy meerkat, who love each other very much,............. And several weeks later you have a whole lot of new meerkats. Simples.

Master Bates Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 I used to say 'simple' at the end of most sentences, since the meerkat thing i've stopped so people don't think i'm being a sad little ***** by copying an unimaginative figure head.

Dog Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Basically has to be the worst word used. All dickheads and people full of their own importance, and who cannot speak basic communication use the word to hide their disabilities. It annoys me.

RonManager Posted 14 October, 2009 Share Posted 14 October, 2009 Those who start posts with - 'What everyone forgets is...' send me into a blind rage. It is so arrogant, ignorant and insulting to people's intelligence. What they really mean is that, until now, they have forgotten, or not taken into account, or been unaware of, a certain fact or situation etc etc. Apart from that I have no problem with it.
