  • Apology For No Posts

    A lack of posts from mid April to mid May was not due to a lack of crap ads or a flourish of great ads. My beloved (and just out of the box) 1.67GHz 15 inch G4 Apple Macintosh PowerBook produced an annoying fault which needed a trip to the MacDr. The repair, a new keyboard and track pad button, took longer than expected. The result being that my ability to update this blog was seriouly limited to my time at the office where I don’t watch much TV and therefore don’t blog at all.
    But now my Mac is better so poor creative will be panned and great creative praised at every possible opportunity.

  • Crap Ad, Ahm

    Nothing is sadder than seeing a past sporting hero doing bad ads in prime-time; any time actually. Steve Waugh, one of the greatest Australian cricket captains has now sunk to the depth of mediocrity with his staring role in what can onlybe described as a crap ad for health insurer AHM.
    To make things worse, there is a whole campaign based on this woeful idea of Waugh answering questions put to him by, in the first case a panel of ‘journalists’ and secondly by some of his ‘mates’ with the absurd response, ‘Ahm’. Purile at best.
