Month: May 2005

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.

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.
