Lame stuff from Mad
Wednesday, November 08, 2006
Hello, how's everyone doing so far through holidays? I'm getting on terrible, my dad's part time job seems to be trying his best to make my holidays miserable. He wants mi to draw up a revision time table for holidays and go look for a tuition teacher....I don't know about that but I think it's a big waste of time....he is, too, spent over half an hour last night giving mi a dumb lecture on time management. How ironic.Right I was just reading my Mad magazine and there was some funni stuff I just thought I'd put up, since I got really nothing better to do and this might help lighten my mood a bit.You know advertisements right? Don't they make you wonder why they only offer real discounts at their "going out of business" sales when they wouldn't have to go out of business if they'd lowered their prices earlier?Or how stores invariably know their offers are being made for "a limited time only" but never seem to be able to tell you what the time limit wll be?Or how breweries can claim their "New Light Beer" or "Diet Coke" is a "major scientific discovery" when simply adding water doesn't seem like much of a discovery at all?Or why those models they use for adverts should ever care about choosing the right brand of soap powder or washing detergent, or even kitty litter, when they more or less have the world at their feet?Or why radio stations buy commercials on TV stations merely to announce you'll encounter fewer commercials on radio stations than you will on TV stations?And lastly, where supermarkets claiming to sell products at "rock bottom prices" get all their extra money to run contests that give away free overseas vacations?This really set mi thinking. People who work for advert companies must be really creative or really stupid.This is getting lame. Someone save mi from my life.
