Travelsupermarket's Jedward-fronted effort comes out today (complete with a cheap shot at agents). We've got a Thomas Cook v Thomson poll on the homepage, but there are plenty of others out there - Barbados, Wales, Center Parcs, P&O...
Personally I really liked the Wales 'proper holidays' ad, thought P&O's was pretty good, and found the Simonseeks spot disappointingly bland for a funky content business...

thomas cook - only becuase it has Jamie Redknap topless and in a suite
Nathan, I believe they got the advert completely wrong; instead of Jedwood they should have used us two; think of the jokes you can do with our shiny heads!
Plus they could have saved on lighting costs "Um, Nathan to the left a little...perfect"
I have created many websites, including for cheap cruises, cruise deals and a new one attacking cruise holidays.
I agree. Hair is so 2010.
On a related note (that's related to TV, not hair) one of our Travolution columnists wrote about internet-enabled TV this week. I used to think spending large chunks of budget on 30-second ads was a bit 'traditional', but if there's a seamless link from the ad to a bookable site... maybe not.
Ban the untallented twerps off the box. Surely we must have more tallented people we could use.

Although not in the same league Nathan; that is why I have put video on my website; OK pinched from P&O Cruises Youtube I know (ever a cheapskate). If people like what they see they will buy it. No need to wait till the morning to nip out for a brochure.
Jedward are just annoying!! seriously get off my screen
It could have been worse. It could have been triplets.
