TSP Retro Rant #11

Who could have predicted back then that the Sunraysia TV ads would get MORE annoying as the years went by? Also note an early use of the word hornbag which has entered my daily vocabulary in the years since.

October 25th, 1995

ADVERTISING

Advertising is one of the most annoying things ever invented. The main culprit is that guy from those Sunraysia cranberry ad's and the rest of his evil family. Here's a sample

GRAN: Wake Up, Wake Up
DAN: But ma, Little Crannie and I are sleeping <-- Suspicious?
GRAN: What a lovely Sunraysia Morning, a natural sunraysia high <-- junkies?
LITTLE CRAN: Oh dad i'll drink Sunraysia Cran ECSTASY <-- Call the drug squad till the day I die <-- not long in the future.
CUE REALLY BAD MUSIC

I think that lot have been drinking more than Cranberry juice, Dan is high, the kid is drunk and gran's just along for the ride.

BEST AD
The most effective ad on TV is that wacky danish one where the guy is spying on all the naked women. It would get all the hornbags buying that paper. All those Scandinavian ad's are obscene, so they are the funniest. The best other ads are those american ones where the chickens are trying to get sold to a farm.
