... it's a big ad.

Spirit, that is easily my favorite so far!!!! I "bloody" love you freakin' Australians... I'm telling you, I am Australian in an American body.

Stitch: Is this one banned in the UK as well, then? "Bloody" 'ell.

Hahaha, I'm totally using bloody in everyday speech now around the house and to my friends, I love it.

and this is for stitch, with the "where the bloody hell are you" campaign... don't know if you watch the gruen transfer at all on ABC, but they have advertising executives on & talk about recent ads... very funny show.

at the end they have a segment where they challenge 2 advertising agencies to sell the unsellable... this was where they had to convince people not to come down under. i thought it was worth posting, made me laugh. Smile

Seriously, maybe its because I'm a little buzzed or something, but I could watch that ad all day! It is amazing the work they must have done to make that work.... and its hillarious the way the guys dance around in the stomach... ahahahaha, lord.

The best British ad ever made....

Jax!!!! Those guys are from "Flight of the Conchords!" Have you ever seen that show?! Has anyone ever seen that show?! It is amazingly funny. You guys in Australia have probably seen it.... It's on HBO here in the US.

On this forum, under the Subject area where you would click for a Quick Reply are two gray boxes with red lettering.

One of them says "PostReply". Click that. The 19th box from the left (of all the icons going across the top of the Post A Reply subject area) will be what looks like a small piece of film. Sort of like a double hung window. If you pass your cursor over it it will read "Video". Left click on it to open it. Place your cursor in that box and right click and choose "paste". Once it's pasted into the subject area you can preview it and then send.

At the moment the only television we watch is Rove. So I guess I should check out the gruen transfer on the ABC.

You should drop in one weekend and see where I live!

TheHolyStickman · by TheHolyStickman on Sun Sep 07, 2008 2:17 pm
