Truth in advertising!

Wasn't there a Not The Nine O'clock sketch in which the man who wrote the news script was leaving and didn't care? I think Pamela Stephenson was playing Moira Stewart (who should still be reading the news!)

You know. It just might work. I used to write crazy adverts in Abra in the late seventies and I did very well out of them. Money used to roll in despite Ken Brooke telling me that if he got one reply from Abra he would be lucky.

That ad will probably resonate with all the thousands of people out there who just hate their jobs.

On the other hand it might be for real. It would be quite ironic if it brought in far more revenue than a more conventional ad and I think it will.

I want to buy a cartridge

Somehow I'm reminded of a small south London auction house we used to visit often. Whoever wrote the catalogue for one sale must have been having an off day, or a very on day. The sale included a surprising number of elephant's-foot wastebaskets, and by the third one we were getting descriptions like "one-quarter of a pachyderm's locomotory apparatus". The winner for the day, though, was a bronze figurine of a maiden in a long dress with a kitten twining around her ankles, which was described as "a lady with a pussy up her skirt".

Brilliant

I'm reminded of a Dilbert cartoon in which the marketing department is quoted as saying

"Remember, what we do here might seem like criminal fraud but it's not, its marketing. That's why it's not wrong"

Perhaps the links between magic and marketing are closer than we think....
