The good news is that Spence Diamonds has apparently smothered that scream, which is bad enough to trigger PTSD from their ads.
But the bad news is that their ads remain among the worst on the air waves. Perhaps they'll soon make a new one in which Fiona is forced to row home solo across the Atlantic.

There is a new television ad for a gambling site or something of that ilk, that is so stupid , I would be humiliated to admit I was involved in the production of any sort. A woman in a pink outfit is supposedly in the presence of a President of what I assume is the USA , from that point I'm not sure what happens as I hit my back button to get that horrendous image out of my line of vision. The entire premise is just silly, I can't believe the advertiser actually approved this to be broadcast.
Online!
The woman in the pink outfit is actually actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore. Make of this what you will -

After hearing the latest batch of new ads featuring Fiona helping to shill the diamonds, I can only hope we can implement deportation orders as soon as possible. And by the way, half the time you can't understand a word she says, not really a great thing when you're advertising.
And oh yeah, I also heard a new version this week that brings back the scream. So you can't even get away from that!

Not only does 'Fiona' have the worst voice in the history of radio advertising, I agree it's hard to even make out what the old bag is saying most of the time, not that I give a damn.

I finally realised that they're trying to do Scottish accents. Not Dutch.
Christ, what an embarrassment for everyone involved with making these ads.

But we’re talking about their ads, so do they work? And yes, they are terrible!

I know of the brand. I will also cross town to avoid them because of this.
