The irony here is that Unwired are my ISP, whom I will continue to use till i get a better offer.
BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE FOR USING what is possibly the WORST example of 'English' ever.
'Too Easy'.
As I have mentioned to many people for years now, how can something be 'too easy'?
It lends itself to the notion that there must be some hidden traps or clauses, this service is 'too easy' to use.
And yes, they did manage to rob me of 3g FREE per month for about 7 months this year, before i noticed that my service was no longer completitive in the market.
But enough about me..... ANYONE who uses the phrase 'too easy' is a moron and sucks.

why VISA sucks
the irony, i've always disliked that name, synonymous with what you need to enter another country... and here we are, on the eve of the Olympics.
Jackie Chan - what the hell have you done? ..according to Paul B, you've sold out.
You're on our billboards telling us (bad timing) that ONLY ONE CREDIT CARD WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE OLYMPICS GAMES IN CHINA 2008.
That's not an ad, that's a directive. Poo to that.
You suck, I won't watch your new movie as a protest, and Visa suck.
Especially for dolling up that pic of the 'birds' nest' to make sure it had blue skies. Lies.

why iMax sucks, i mean, toyota...
more about iMax on my other blog soon, but yes, this was a massive ad to have to endure.
What is the link between someone in a parachute from a hot air balloon and a 4wd driver?
Nothing, you would think, and i agree. This is not an ad, it's not even art. It's weak.
More soon after Cool Dre wakes up....
THE DARK KNIGHT RULES!!!! what a movie ;)

why NEVERFAIL sucks
seen all over a delivery truck, especially last week (nice to be driving back to Gladesville again):
Neverfail. What is it, a battery? a 24hr service?
Nope, it's water. Bottled and sold by Coca-cola. Yeah, sure, this could be a Coca-Cola post, or even an Amatil sucks, but let's attack the product rationally.
Water. It falls from the sky, and returns to it from our rivers and oceans, moving it around the globe. And thanks to Ad-Roc of the Beastie Boys for reminding us how much it has always ruled the earth, and should never be a commodity for humankind.
What is the slogan? 'Just as nature intended.'
NO. Wrong. Nature intended us to drink from clean rivers, and eat from its clean oceans' bounty.
Have a look at your (petrol driven) trucks - they're covered in waterfalls and such, in a setting that totally contradicts the expensive use of plastic bottles to sell it back to us.
You suck. I don't pay for water, even at raves. So just quit it 'cos your premise is wrong.

why eBAY suck
...'cos they recently switched to Paypal only? nah, that was bad enough (didn't bother me though).
It's 'cos the latest ad just... stinks. Never leave the viewer wondering, it's an old rule.
The 1st ad was obvious, and boring, going down a luge in a shopping cart. Meh.
The latest has a bunch of bargain hunters in the wild, tackling live prey like wardrobes, bedside desks, and my favorite, lamps (a nod to Pixar?).
The woman that nabs the lampstand... was disguised??? in a lampshade????
What, in the figurative world of eBay, is that supposed to represent? Everyone knows that eBay takes fraud and spoof very seriously, so why are they letting a buyer that dupes the 'prey' into a successful sale slip into the picture?
You dolts. That sucks.

why KFC sucks
Cos it makes me ill - seriously. But that's beside the point.
THIS is just a bad ad. A waiter takes an order in an italian restaurant, then tells the table to follow him, somewhere...
BUT THEY DON'T. And why is this error on air? It won't work, the storyline doesn't flow.
He ends up serving it to them back at the table.
AND it's a cheap ad too - there's like 2.3 seconds footage of him (not speaking to camera) in the KFC store - this was clearly a waste of set-up money.
That means it's stupid, and it sucks.

Last night, this blog's fave show went to air - my old radio buddy Wil Anderson has hooked up with my mentor Andrew Denton, and set up a weekly panel show
don't miss it - on abc tv, of course ;)
