Rock Lobster
David Ogilvy famously said, if you work in advertising, your hobby should be advertising. Today, Gentle Reader, I feel compelled to share my hobby with you. I won't force you to analyze the message strategy and tactics, the way I do with my students; to explain why the crab has a vaguely Spanish (or is it Italian?) accent; or to translate the homeboy lingo in The Rat and The Mole executions.No; I'll just tell you that my favourite of the set is The Platypus, because it reminds me of that joke about the grasshopper going into the bar and ordering a drink, and then I'll leave you with the following links to some extremely clever advertising, to amuse yourself with over the weekend:
The Crab
The Burro
The Rabbit
The Opossum
The Platypus
The Lobster
The Rat
The Mole
One year ago today, Postmodern Sass discussed boys with her life coach.

I wish my mice had bling. Maybe if they did, the girl mice would pay attention to them and they'd have mouse babies and I'd graduate. Hmmm, maybe I can get my boss to spring for a few phat ropes, esp if they're not real gold . . . wonder how the girl mice would feel about green boy mice! =)
They are all funny adds, but I don't know if it's enough to make me go out and get that vehicle! I would like to see them here though.
P.S. I went to the dome last night, thought of you when we were bopping around!
I made the mistake of watching those in front of my husband, who now insists on following me around with his fingers in little pinchy crab claws saying "I pinch." It's very annoying.
I don't get those commericals, but they make me laugh out loud.
