I agree.. lame stories. All of them.

Sometimes it feels like one of the producers got treated poorly at the local supermarket and develops a vendetta.

" We give away trade secrets! How you can save money at the major supermarkets!

Go in at night or the early morning, they mark stuff down.. its a scam, a secret and you all should know about the major supermarkets ripping you off! If they can sell it tomorrow for $2 less why cant they sell it today for that same price..."


umm, they're trying to clear near out of code stock from the day before....

Ok there was this one where a woman complained that she couldnt use her Westfield Gift Card voucher BECAUSE IT EXPIRED IN AUGUST AND IT WAS DECEMBER AND SHE FUCKING HAD A YEAR TO USE IT. they tried to make Westfield look bad, when everyone knew it was the womans fault who had stupidly said "oh they shouldnt have an expiry date".
WELL BOO HOO woman it's clearly stated on the card FUCKING AUGUST 2008 it expired you've had it for a year, spending $100 in 12 months in one of the largest shopping complexes isnt too hard.


GRRRRR i hate these ACA shows they really get me angry. lol

haha yeah that one infuriated me. there was also that story about the old bag and her daughter complaining that they won the lottery but clearly did not according to the instructions. something about getting the word sign instead of designer. i hate it how they make things seem really big and then theyre clearly wrong


whats most annoying is when they say AFTER THE BREAK and then when the time comes they say its on TOMORROW

ARGHHHHHHH

I've started to get annoyed at the voice over guy that does the commercials.

He tries to make it sound like the show is ground breaking or like it is some sort of epic drama

like this sort of thing

I wonder if the guy has any self respect

- a fat guy wants to run 6 marathons in 6 days
- a guy almost got sent to a morgue when he was alive
- an olympic swimmer smoked a bong
