There is a Broadband ad which features a young lady walking up or down, whichever, an alley in lingerie and a lab coat. Now that ad’s been on for quite a while and I still don’t understand what on God’s green earth she has to do with broadband. So Broadband is fast. By including her in the ad, dressed as she is, are they implying that she is “fast” as well? Believe me, I am not trying to be disrespectful, but the ad makes no sense. I know that “sex sells” but honestly!
‘Creative Jewellery and Pawn Shop’ has an ad in which Linden Jones is having a meal with a young lady at the Original Dairy Bar. At some point he realizes that he doesn’t have enough money to pay for the meal and tries to leave to go get money to pay. He is stopped by one of the employees of the establishment and told that he cannot simply leave and come back without paying. After being reminded that he is wearing a big gold chain and several gold rings, and enlightened on the fact that ‘Creative Jewellery and Pawn Shop’ is right up the road he is seen going to the pawn shop to get the necessary cash to pay for the meal. It seems just a little senseless to me that someone would forbid me from leaving to get money initially, but then because I claim I’m just going up the road to the pawn shop to get the money, I’m allowed to go. Rubbish!
If you’ve ever been to the National Cultural Centre then you’ve heard the rules and regulations read once the show is about to begin-about the use of cell phones, and taking photographs, etc. What I do not understand though, is why they include the dress code in that announcement. If I am sitting in the auditorium, listening to the message, isn’t it that I don’t need to be told what the dress code is? Isn’t it that I am dressed in accordance with the dress code and that if I am not dressed appropriately, but am hearing this message from the comfort of my seat, that the staff simply failed to do their job? I just think it’s a very unnecessary inclusion.
