No, but the parents watching with the nippers sure do once they've shelled out for expensive prams, cots, clothes, safety systems, gubbins with Winnie the Pooh on it, etc. etc. All on reduced wages.

I assign that ad where the mum berates her teenage son for not being interested in the fact that she's just changed her car insurance. I'm 36 and I'd also come over all sullen and uninterested if my mother started on about how excited she was that she was thinking of changing her car insurance.

I also assign Three for selling a deaf pensioner a mobile phone they did not want by exploiting the similarity of the word 'three' to 'free'. That's low.
