Gisele's new TV commercial

It's called Airport Invasion and was made by Giovanni+DraftFCB - With a cast of 1,000, and directed by Nando Olival they were apparently working with a $4M budget, excluding Gisele's fee. Gosh.

I like it, not sure that it would make me want to get sky, but I also don't think I am the target market...

Banned in 1961

I do love this. This is a commercial which was banned in 1961. Thank goodness. I cannot believe that, even back then, they used children's cartoon characters to push cigarettes. It amazes me that Hanna-Barbera allowed it to be made in the first place. That is assuming that they were asked...

National's TV campaign

I cannot believe that more of a fuss has not been made about National's televison campaign which is running at the moment. I have now seen 2 ads where John Key is sitting in the front passenger seat of a car and is turning around to talk into the camera in the back seat. HE DOESN'T HAVE A SEAT BELT ON and the car is clearly in motion.

I have 2 issues with this. 1. this is the man that wants to run this country and he doesn't abide by the laws (if he doesn't, why should anyone else?) and 2. what awful advertising agency (let alone the director of the ad) allow something like that go to air? What were they thinking? Not surprisingly I cannot find the video anywhere, but it just amazes me that someone let that onto the television. What's more, how did it get past TVCAB? Surely this ad encourages unsafe driving practices.

Talking about this with a friend the other day, he turned around and said, "if anyone made a big deal about it, it would work in John Key's favour" which somewhat blew me away to be fair. His reasoning was that the public would turn around and go back to the anti - 'nanny state' mentality and back Key.

Do NZers really hate Helen so much that they would support a non-law abiding Prime Minister. I was under the impression that those in Parliament already get away with too much, are we going to add this to the list as well?
