Bad Ads

So in the cinema the other day (yesterday) there were the pre movie ads. Usually the trailers are good but I was watching Toy Story 3 and so the trailers were pretty crap. I mean there was an animated movie about owl guardians from Ga'hoole. Looks pretty good.

Anyway, the main ad I want to talk about is the one where there's a woman with a giant ball of string just running around the city. It's made to look so artistic, the girl runs up a spiral staircase, then there's a low shot where the shaky handheld camera looks up at her looking up the sun etc. etc. In the end the woman just meets another man with a big ball of string too. Now you might be wondering what the ad was for. Big balls of string? A new way to annoy the public? No, it was a tourism add for Melbourne with the tagline "You'll get lost in Melbourne" and i just sit there going w..t...f..?
Oh yeh and the ANZ one is pretty bad too. Well, it's not random it's just that whenever I see an ANZ bank I immediately think of the bogan lady and how she mistreats people so I have negative feelings toward ANZ now.
Speaking of bogans have you seen the trailer for "Hawke" the movie about Bob Hawke? How good can two hours of watching a bogan in a suit talk to other bogans not in suits be when you already know the end? Stupid. Ok I think I've been watching too much TV but hey, what else is there to do right?

Office quote of the day: When Mama was working as a prison guard and something went missing, she'd ask one question: "What do we do when we find the guilty party?" And if they said, "Come down on him with that swift hammer of justice", innocent. A clear conscience don't need no mercy. But if they said, "Officer Bessie, well they may have had a reason, blah blah blah blah", well, nine times out of ten, that's the anus they'd check.

That is all.
