HI LJ!

It occurred to me last night that the rest of the world doesn't get to see our adverts. And this is very sad, because some of them are just awesome. My current favourites are the ones for Moneysupermarket. The top two under the cut. Awesomeness doesn't come much better.

Well, of course, the Lloyds one is all about 250 years of black horses because it has been their logo for most, or possibly all their 250 years.

I've been thinking about what annoys me so much about the 'Brian' ad in particular, and I realised it was because we complain, rightly, about the objectification of women, and so we shouldn't condone it when done to men, even if it is tongue in cheek. The pole dancing one is better, from my point of view, simply because it has, in the main, replaced the Brian one!

But really nothing can beat the Guinness rugby ads or the New Zealand baking one, so the rest should just give up trying :)

I don't know that he's objectified, although I can definitely see your point.

LOL.
