How sweet, the person thinks by putting ‘BIG REWARD’ on the poster they are more likely to motivate someone to hand it in.

His/her only hope is that some old biddy who still has some values finds it – though given this is the first incarnation of the iPhone [which was never released in Oz] even they may think the owner is some try-hard, pretentious twat who deserves to be taught a lesson.

How do you know its’s a first edition iPhone? Are you one one of those try hard trendspotting pretentious twats?

The two of you are like Morecambe and Wise in bed. Pull yourselves together. It’s getting too campy!

Here I was thinking this was going to be a post about the Coca Cola “Feel The Brightness” campaign.

How does one “feel” brightness, anyways?

Comment by Age

I think the suggestion is feel the lightness Age. Light ‘n bright. Just guessing though.

Try hard trendspotting pretentious twat? If only, as you well know, I’m more twat than trendspotting or pretentious … however the reason I know this is a first generation iPhone is simple … the photo was taken ages ago … before even Baz had a 2nd gen version … let alone every Tom, Dick and Harry, which shows even my photos are as out-of-date as my opinions 🙂

…or the Mount Franklin “Drink Positive Think Positive” campaign. What the fuck does Drink Positive mean? Or how about their introduction of kids’ Disney water bottles with coloured tops, disney characters on the label and the same size as the old water bottles before they got upsized. Hmm… CCA are looking more and more shoddy…

Rob, I also thought of you yesterday when i was in my local supermarket and saw the bargain bin full of a new parfait dessert that has been released here, called “Dole”. Ha! [looks like somebody forgot to check the urban dictionary]. I wished I had a camera on me, but i know you would have got a kick out of it.

I have found this phone. It was propping up the coffee table.

Well, you could call it Consumer Relations Ship Management gone wrong. Or Direct Response Marketing gone wrong. Or just find your own smart advertising term: http://tinyurl.com/6of9fh

I’m with George and Age … what the hell is the trumpet thing or will I regret asking?
