MUSIC: Duffy - Warwick Avenue

Does anyone remember that tune "I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus..."?
Well that's what I've been singing (or the rude version at least) to this tune .

Ad rant: Subway - Eat fresh

Does anyone get these ads? What's up with the Black Olives? Is it that no one likes them, rather like the McDonalds Gherkins? Anyway, who cares, this is a good example of how ads that don't make sense just become annoying. And I'm sure that if I (can be bothered) to find out what it's about, it won't make me feel any more interested in the brand than I was before.

And 'Eat Fresh', I see what they're trying to do with this strategy, but it's bloody boring and has that feeling that it's been written in a foreign language then translated.

I think 'Eat Depressed' would be more fun.

Ad rant: Coors light 'Hear me now' Spot

Two white guys rapping in fake Jamaican accents? Er, hello, but has the furore over the Trident Gum Ads been forgotten already? Whoever wrote this Ad must have had their head where the sun doesn't shine for the last couple of years. Crikey! And if producing an Ad that's going to be accused of being racist isn't bad enough, there seems to be no real idea behind it, the rap's not well written and it's not even funny - it just made me cringe! 
Surely as soon as someone says "yeah, let's write a rap for an ad" you know the chances of them producing something good are very slim. So come on Ad folks, lets leave rapping to the rappers and get back to creating something that's really worth watching.


TV: Lost -The answers are here

Er, no, they weren't.
In fact, the programme contained no bloody answers at all! 
Do I feel cheated? Yes, and annoyed because I stupidly stayed up to watch it.
