… amuse small minds. I know this! While watching weekend sunrise this morning, Andrew made a joke about Samantha’s taste in men being like prawns, it went something along the lines of “Samantha likes her men like her prawns, great body, throw away the head.”

He’s a funny bastard!!

Which was your favourite?

For those who know me, I love all things Wil Anderson. He’s one funny bastard. Even better, The Gruen Transfer, whihc combines my love of Wil Anderson’s sense of humour, Andrew Denton’s brain, and advertising.

I haven’t had a chance to watch this week’s episode yet, but should to tomorrow. One of my favourite parts of the show is The Pitch, where an ad agency get to make an ad for something fake. No-one yet has managed to top the very first one in Season 1 Ep 1.

Enjoy.

My personal fave (above)

The best fake ad that could actually be used (and to think I sell reusable shopping bags online!)

I just love this. Somone has developed a Firefox ap that removes all traces of Justin Bieber from your browser, replacing it with a coloured box! CLICK HERE to read. Now, if only it were customisable, there’s Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan …..

Sydney Opera House are holding a concert for dogs. I kid you not. It’s 20 minutes of music that humans can’t here. Take your 4 legged kids and plenty of poo bags (and perhaps some ear plugs from all the howling & barking)

I had to chuckle when we read the article on Things Bogans Like about Andre Rieu.

From the article “Being aware of the bogan’s reluctance to dwell too long on foreign music pieces it is not already familiar with, André intersperses his Australian shows with singalong favourites such as Burke’s Backyard, Bananas in Pyjamas, and Neighbours.”

Please, tell me it isn’t true!!!

This is too funny. There’s an agency in Germany who will break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend for you. Services include the ‘let’s be friends’, the ‘leave me alone’, the ‘break up letter’ and the ‘personal break-up’ where he rocks up unannounced at your doorstep.

I wonder if he has personal injury insurance…………..

Being the huge Wil Anderson fan that I am, I dusted off the telly and tuned in to watch The Gruen Transfer this week on the ABC. It’s a show all about advertising. Two experts were given the challenge of producing an ad to sell Whale Meat. Below is the result – one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time.

Enjoy!

My own personal spin on this ad would have been to have the cows farting (producing all that methane gas which is bad for global warming) and pitch whale meat as the eco-friendly alternative to killing poor Hamish and his 200 friends. Perhaps I should work in advertising. Oh hang on, I do!
