  • Steve Barnes,

    I'm not sure that was quite the result they were after ...

    Unfortunately downloading would only serve to increase the popularity, or at least public awareness, of the artist/producer of the offending work and in doing so, would increase CD sales :-(

    A different relationship
    I think.

  • Peter Calder,

    These four entries are not my work but I submit them on behalf of a rugby-league-mad mate who writes the old fashioned-way, with an HB pencil on a piece of paper. His name is Tom.

    Time lord Stacy Jones

    chips, gathers, throws a dummy

    juggles time and space




    Step, kick, sprint, Stacy,

    dance their defenders dizzy

    deliver our win




    Comes the time, comes Stace

    little general big man

    ruling time and space




    Halfback Stacy Jones

    dances defenders dizzy

    rules the NRL

  • Neil Graham,

    One thing I have always wondered about television advertising was if they have a metric that works like banner ads where it gets broken down to the cost of one-person one-view.

    There are two reasons for this, There were some ads a few years ago. they seemed to be a series of ads that misrepresented what the advertising industry does followed up with the weirdly-meta irony of "Advertising, that's the way it works". One of those ads had a family argument situation that implied a single viewers worth was in the dollars per hour. I figured they were making shit up, but I still haven't found any numbers as to how much it really is.

    Secondly, I'm curious to know whether it would be an amount I'd actually consider paying to get rid of the goddamn things.

  • Steve Barnes,

    Irish Haiku. fnahh.

    There was a young man named Jones,
    Who made a living by breaking his bones
    He juggled with balls
    With a bunch of big tools
    What a peculiar way to sell Phones.

  • Geoff Lealand,

    Hmmm! Advertising--that great mix of pseudo science and 'orrible hucksterism. One question I have always wanted to ask an adman: when TVCs make the claim '30% larger' or "13 % percent longer" or 'new and improved"--effing larger or longer or newer than what???
