revolution saint Posted 7 October, 2009 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.
RonManager Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 I've had a quick ask around - and the whole earth's population is Ok with it.

Genius advertising campaign
revolution saint Posted 7 October, 2009 Author Posted 7 October, 2009 I've had a quick ask around - and the whole earth's population is Ok with it. Just me then but thanks for asking everyone. That's the beauty of the internet.

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.

Saint in Paradise Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 IMHO it is just a simple word for simple people to remember and use , oh yes and I refuse to use it
Mao Cap Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 It is a little irritating. Never mind, it'll pass soon and before long stupid people will be parroting some other advertising catchphrase
bungle Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 The website is good. You can create your own meerkat.
LVSaint Posted 7 October, 2009 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.
badgerx16 Posted 7 October, 2009 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.
Weston Super Saint Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 The website is good. You can create your own meerkat. My daughter wanted a golfing one in Weston Super Mare. It was simples to do.
hamster Posted 7 October, 2009 Posted 7 October, 2009 My daughter wanted a golfing one in Weston Super Mare. It was simples to do. Meerkats in Weston Super Mare! They'll be driving our buses and wanting their own community centre next! Russian Meerkats, send them back where they came from I say.
Master Bates Posted 8 October, 2009 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.
miserableoldgit Posted 8 October, 2009 Posted 8 October, 2009 Meerkats in Weston Super Mare! They'll be driving our buses and wanting their own community centre next! Russian Meerkats, send them back where they came from I say. Bloody Daily Mail reading meerkatists get everywhere.
Dog Posted 8 October, 2009 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.

Pancake Posted 8 October, 2009 Posted 8 October, 2009 Now that's what they say about the meerkat. I lol'ed.
Simples Posted 14 October, 2009 Posted 14 October, 2009 Oh dear, I better change my user name if it offends Simples :cool:
RonManager Posted 14 October, 2009 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.
