Memoirs of Japan - Funny billboard in Osaka
October 11th, 2008
I miss Japan, the culture, the weather (back then), the people, the atmosphere and the food. But I thought I’d share this funny billboard I came across when I was in Osaka. I was walking on my merry way one day looking for a coffee shop - either a Starbucks or a Doutor (anywhere with a decent shot!) and came across this billboard not too far from Osaka station.
No idea what its advertising as theres no mention of a brand or company, but I knew the moment I saw it - and fell into a fit of laughter - that its something I simply had to take a copy of.
Channel 10 caught red handed with subliminal messages at ARIAS
October 8th, 2008
Heres something you dont see everyday. Channel 10 - of Big Bother, So You Think Yer Ken Dance and Australian Idol fame - and such awesome shows as Rove and the only link to The Simpsons in Australia has been caught showing subliminal messages during the 2007 ARIA Music Awards.
During the introduction of nominated artists for the October 2007 telecast, Network Ten broadcasted quick one-frame bursts of sponsor logos, which included Chupa Chups, Big W, Olay, Telstra BigPond, KFC and Toyota.
The ABC’s Media Watch program revealed the breach and ACMA received several complaints shortly after.
ACMA reviewed the material and found the “rapid-cut graphics used in the program was a technique that attempted to convey information to viewers below or near the threshold of normal awareness”.
ACMA said Network Ten argued the rapid-cut graphics were intended to be creatively consistent with the fast-paced look and feel of the music presentations.
So if you ever wondered why you suddenly headed out straight away to bring home the chicken sucking away at a chuppa chup last year, there may be a reason.
Seriously, Yvan eht nioj?
New Microsoft Advertisment: Bill Gates feat Jerry Seinfeld - New Family
September 12th, 2008
The next addition to in the series for Microsoft staring Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld trying to look normal.
A shorter version is also available with part 1 and part 2 in WMV format. Compared to the first release which took the two gentlement to Shoe-Circus I think this new (longer) version is far better.
“I Love a condiment with Booze in it.” - Jerry
“Because as we discussed, you and I are a little out of it… you’re living in some kind of moon house hovering over seatle like the mothership… I got so many cars I get stuck in my own traffic.” - Jerry
“The fact that a design uses inheritance and polymorphisim doesnt make it a good design.” - Bill
“…Are there any monsters in the story?” - Little kid in bed
“Yes! but its ok, theres a firewall.” - Bill“Power off… ok, power on.” - Jerry whilst Bill doing the Robot
Personally I quite like this one, and the fact that Mr Gates does the robot - I mean come on….

Just a sample of the subtitles
