THE CURMUDGEON: STUPIDITY IN ADVERTISING

STUPIDITY IN ADVERTISING - An occasional series

AA Life Cover, in its latest TV advertising have chosen to use sheep (a ram and a lamb) because, according to AA Life's General Manager, they wanted a 'truly Kiwi approach'.

Well, fuck me, if this GM really understood the Kiwi approach to livestock she'd understand that lambs in New Zealand are living on borrowed time and their future isn't particularly rosy unless you count the rosemary that they'll be cooked with.

Stupid.

ACCOLADES

"Alert, conversant, speaking full sentences"

- From hospital doctor's report.

This just to hand - an accolade from one of this blog's followers:

"Reading The Curmudgeon's blog has opened my eyes and mind to the silliness of religion and the stupidity of catholicism in particular. I now see myself as a modernist even if I don't really understand what the term means. Well done that man for giving us the low down.
That's why most readers reference Curmudgeon first."

- Robert the apoplectic sinner

And another one:

"What I like about The Curmudgeon is that he's fair. When he posts comments on my blog they are positive and always contain a hint as to how I could improve my own blog. As an older person I find this to be helpful."

Richard (of Richard's Bass Bag).

An updated accolade from Richard:

Hello all. I really like this blog. The quality, humour and professionalism gives me something to strive for in my own blog. Recently I've run out of ideas and have reverted to writing long and boring posts on violin playing. I wish that I could create blog posts as fresh and interesting as The Curmudgeon's.

"This is the first tantalizing (sic) surprise of many as The Curmudgeon introduces us to ...."
