Well, blandy was the original generator of a pun about electricity and now it's been radiated too far a-field for any one to have the power to stop it. Bad news for anyone who was hoping the arc of this thread would be short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple checklist; Do they have tattoo's? Do they wear a cap indoors? Do they drink out of cans, when glasses are available? Can they draw a cityscape when only subjected to a 1 second viewing of it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2017 I wonder when the first advert designed for people fast forwarding through the adverts will be made. I've long wondered if someone would design and advert that is basically just a billboard on the TV for like a minute. That way people fast forwarding would still get a solid view of the advert. Maybe you could have a voice over so those not fast forwarding would still get extra benefit. Or even some very clever alternating frame business so it would be a real advert if watched in real time but a billboard if fast forwarded.... I put this to a friend of mine who works in advertising but he reckoned it wasn't worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly related I've noticed that their is a car supermarket place who have TV adverts that are completely silent. Just a few slides with offers on. I thought that was a clever way of getting people to look up from their phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a more deliberate effort to read it that way whether you realise it or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 4, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2017 There's an Indian restaurant near me that has a huge sign, with their opening hours, special offers, etc. printed on it - all upside down. At first glance it looks like someone has simply put it up wrongly - until you notice the very small print at the bottom that reads (the right way up): "(Yes, we know it's upside down)".

Not quite the answer to your question though but works on the basis that you're obligated to watch adverts and punished for closing your eyes (iirc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
