			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ad: Telstra Mobile<br />
Aired: Commercial TV &#8211; too often.<br />
When : Obviously about the time I&#8217;ve written this at a guess!</p>
<h2>There is a trend&#8230;</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m going to be writing alot about these kinds of ads as there seems to be some advertising persons who think they are pretty &#8220;Kool&#8221; ( I even spelt it like that just for them..) and love taking the mickey out of their audience while making a few bucks for their clients.</p>
<p>Anyway, I seen these ads enough times to come to the above conclusion. No I&#8217;m not a Telstra Mobile Phone User. I&#8217;m not married to an Idiot and if I were I wouldn&#8217;t stay with them&#8230; But if I had a Telstra Mobile I sure would.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d even be happy they were using some &#8220;Crappy not as good as Telstra&#8221; mobile service, apparently!</p>
<h2>The real message</h2>
<p>Telstra&#8217;s Mobile Service lets you get emails and stuff really fast. [It is an ad..]<br />
The Others [of course] are piss poor slow. Possibly because Telstra has made them that way on their mobile backbone but that&#8217;s for another Blog.</p>
<h2>The Ad in Question</h2>
<p>Bozo Brains and Spunky Dumb Chick are waiting for some friends to arrive at a restaurant&#8230; Bozo can&#8217;t remember his mates new girlfriends name. &#8220;It&#8217;s something like a Fruit&#8221;&#8230;<br />
Spunky Dumb Chick looks up the email they had got sent&#8230;While Bozo Brains is still trying to download his email to find out the mates girlfriends name.  *** Note &#8211; there are better cheaper ways to do this. Just ask them! ***</p>
<h2>This is where it gets interesting&#8230;</h2>
<p>Turns out the Girlfriends name is Melony. &#8220;The Fruit&#8221; &#8211;  Melons&#8230;hahahaha. Ok, it must have been a real fun creative evening for the guys with a few magazines for inspiration&#8230; </p>
<p>Any way the &#8220;bloke&#8221; and Melony ( what&#8217;s the guys name?) sit down, while Spunky Dumb Chick waits to be seated. Of course Bozo Brains doesn&#8217;t do the right thing by assisting her as What&#8217;s his name had just done for Melons, umm I mean Melony, and she ends up seating herself. Maybe he&#8217;s been affected by the &#8220;Telstra &#8221; waves as well.<br />
Well he is a Bozo Brain&#8230; You are not allowed to smoke near others any more cause they get affected by passive smoking. Passive Telstra Mobile Phone Waves maybe at play here&#8230;</p>
<h2>If there are more of these&#8230;</h2>
<p>This is the Second Ad of this &#8220;series&#8221;&#8230; If there is a third, and I&#8217;m guessing there will be, it just means there&#8217;ll be more for me to write about, and someone has to do it.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3FbowJS2D-0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>If you are a little unsure as to the actual title of this item, I&#8217;ll explain. If you use Telstra Mobiles you end up staying with a Bozo Brain&#8230; And that is pretty stupid!</p>
<p>She must have changed networks and moved on as I&#8217;ve not seen those two together of late&#8230;. Good on her!</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m out of popcorn, time for a refill.<br />
Cheers<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not sure what to say about this ad,</p>
<p>On the one hand I think it&#8217;s Brilliant. My Wife goes into hysterics when she sees it.<br />
On the other hand I kind of cringe in certain parts&#8230;You&#8217;ll know which parts they are when you see them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Part II of an ad where all the nice people who make the beer live. You&#8217;ll see flashes of them and the paradise they live in throughout the ad.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s where the Dove has apparently come from and got lost and is having great difficulty in getting home.</p>
<h2>Warning if you are a Dove</h2>
<p>If you are a Dove, you may have problems watching this or maybe you can relate to it.</p>
<h2>Watch and enjoy.</h2>
<p>Hmm Rankings:</p>
<p>Cleverness 8/10.</p>
<p>Ability to show Beer Drinkers can be kind to animals 9/10.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>It might look like Crap. It tastes like crap and it&#8217;s name, well it&#8217;s &#8230;.</h2>
<p>Once again the advertising geniuses have disgraced a National Icon by calling a revamped version of it &#8211; iSnack 2.0.</p>
<p>What is that? &#8211; &#8220;I Snack too&#8221; or is it some <strong>ad geeks</strong> idea of a Joke &#8211; like Web 2.0. &#8220;Oh I&#8217;m a internet Nerd and me and all my internet nerdy mates are up on this Web 2.0 thing and we all have Iphones to send nerdy pictures to each other on ( nothing wrong with IPhones by the way &#8211; See <a title="Where Zealous Apple Folk Mingle" href="http://www.iWankers.com" target="_blank">www.iWankers.com</a>. So let&#8217;s first change the taste of some National Icon to real Crap and call it iSnack 2.0. Man that&#8217;s so Cool&#8221;.</p>
<h2>Well Mr Advertising Geek&#8230;</h2>
<p>Don&#8217;t go changing something that&#8217;s been working for a long long time and please don&#8217;t go using shit names like &#8220;iSuck@Advertsing 2&#8243; (possibly the advertising companies name &#8211; perhaps it should be)</p>
<p>And whats with &#8211; We&#8217;ve asked a lot of people&#8230; and it&#8217;s just your mates around a board room table. Hmmmm Do I dare say more?</p>
<p>So overall &#8211; It&#8217;s an Insult to every one that likes the Old Vegemite and it insults those who have an IQ greater than 2.0. Again is that a reflection on the iSuck@Advertising 2.0 collective IQ. They must have a large staff <img src='http://www.couchpotatocritics.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>It&#8217;s a National Aussie Disgrace</h2>
<p>Is the Vegemite company owned by Australians?</p>
<h2>In Conclusion</h2>
<p>No Ratings or anything on this one. There&#8217;s nothing more to say than &#8220;think up a better name&#8221;!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Format: Television Advertisment.</p>
<p>Location: Australia</p>
<p>By Noah. ( No I didn&#8217;t make the AD &#8211; but I did write this!)</p>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>So we have two kids sitting in what looks like a Photo Shoot place where kids get taken to be tortured to have their photos taken. (I was lucky and never had to go through that).</p>
<p>The young fella cranks up his &#8220;Casio Watch&#8221; Beat Box and they do this dancing Eye Brow thing.</p>
<p>Looks painful. But I actually enjoy it as it&#8217;s different.</p>
<h2>I have no idea what the product being advertised is.</h2>
<p>Ask me what that ad is advertising? The answer is &#8211; ummmm Musical watches or Eyebrow Gymnastic Courses.</p>
<p>Well done to the bozos who dreamt up that AD. Clever Ad, but my poor braincells weren&#8217;t indoctrinated with whatever it was you were advertising.</p>
<h2>So Ratings.</h2>
<p>Entertainment Value : 8/10</p>
<p>Stupidity Factor: 8/10 ( not a bad thing)</p>
<p>Relevancy : negative 10/10. What was it was advertising?</p>
<h2>Will those two kids get bagged at school the rest of their lives?</h2>
<p>I bet they get a lot of free watches.</p>
<p>Here it is for your Viewing Pleasure&#8230;<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TVblWq3tDwY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>And this is how they made it&#8230;. Well not really, but it looks funny&#8230;<br />
