Ad for Plasma TV

A very funny advertisement for a Plasma TV, but might be a bit too in your face for some readers.

natural party of govt

I don’t get it.

So there’s this penguin driving across the Nullabour Plain (that’s in Australia) and it’s a really hot day – and that’s bad news for a penguin. The penguin is driving and saying “Sheesh” a lot and wiping his brow with his flipper then the car starts acting up! Bumpity bumpity bump…

“Oh great”, thinks the penguin. To his relief, there is a service station not too far further along. He drives in, parks his car, hops out and waddles over to the mechanic. “Can you have a look at my car?”, says the penguin, “it’s making a funny sound.”

“Sure” says the mechanic.

“Sheesh,” thinks the penguin. “It’s so hot!. I think I’ll go inside to the air conditioning.” So he waddles over and goes inside. He mooches around, flicking through magazines, killing time. He decides he’ll buy a vanilla ice cream cone to help him cool down. Then he goes back out to the car. “Sheesh,” he says as he waddles back over the tarmac. “It’s really hot.”

And he’s making a real mess of the ice cream, on account of it being so hot and him being a penguin and only being able to hold it with his flipper. He spills more of it over himself than he gets in his mouth. He gets back to the car and comes up to the mechanic who’s leaning over the engine. The mechanic looks up at him and says, “Hmm. Looks like you’ve blown a seal.”

“Oh no,” laughs the penguin, “That’s only ice cream.”

Short Shriveled and Slightly to the Left

hahaha at NPoG’s joke
brilliant!
That ad seemed like it should have been funnier

I bought a Panasonic 42″ on Saturday
our first widescreen
it’s that much better watching HD 42″ widescreen that even programmes like the news are enjoyable
I guess I could put it to the ultimate test and try watching Shortland Street

Lets not fool ourselves.

Kiwi’s buy big screens for Rugby, cricket and everything else is secondary.

Movies are still edited for tv and ad time.
