Lawyer in Training
A Lawyers Education
The son of a farmer goes off to study Law at university in "the Big City". Not half way through the semester he has blown all of his money on the high city life.
He calls home. 'Dad, you won't believe what modern education is developing. They actually have a program here in the Big City that will teach a dog how to talk.'
'Bloody amazing!' his Dad says. 'Could we get Ol' Blue into the program?'
'No worries, just send him down here with $2,000,' the farmer's son says, 'I'll get him into the course.'
So father sends down the dog and $2,000.
About two-thirds through the year, the money again runs out. The boy calls home. 'So how's Ol' Blue doing, son?' his father wants to know.
'Awesome Dad! He'd talk ya bloody head off. But you just won't believe this. He's such a brilliant talker, they'd like him to have a go in the reading class!'
'Read?' exclaims his father. 'No kidding! Jeez, I knew he was smart. Can you get Ol' Blue into that program?'
'Just send $4,500. He's as good as in.'
As quick as the money arrives, it is spent.
At the end of the term the young man realises a problem...When he goes home for the holidays, his father will find out the dog can neither talk nor read. So on the way home he stops and shoots the dog.
When he arrives home his father is all excited. 'Where's Ol' Blue? I just can't wait to talk with him and see him read something!'
'Dad,' the boy says, 'It all had a bad outcome. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol' Blue was in the living room reading the Wall Street Journal. Out of nowhere he turned to me and asked, 'So, is your dad still sleeping with that little redhead barmaid ?''
The father groans and whispers, 'I'll have to shoot that bastard before he blabs to your Mother!'
'I already did, Dad!'
'Good boy!'
The kid went on to be a successful lawyer.

Not sure if this is in the sex sells dept, or the funny commercial department. Either way this Air New Zealand documentary on the life and mating habits of the "cougar" is fall off your chair funny.
Controversial Air NZ ad.

Sex Sells #2
Second in our series of how you can use sex to sell just about anything. This time a public service message with (what else) French Maids.
I particularly like the celebration scenes!
(no nudity, but not suitable for the littlies or uptight bosses/workmates).

Sex Sells #1
First in our series on just how you can use sex to sell just about anything! Godaddy is a master of this, as they use sex AND humor!
(no nudity, but not suitable for the littlies or uptight bosses/workmates).
(screen shot. To see video, click here )
This is the sort of video I just don't think is going to discourage speeding. (no nudity, but not suitable for the littlies or uptight bosses/workmates).

Dogs Playing Poker
Who doesn't love "Dogs Playing Poker" (an old favourite of mine - who would not want this in the pool room")!
Not only do these paintings have their own wikipedia entry but there is even an entire website devoted to them (called, maybe not surprisingly, "DogsPlayingPoker.org"). Not just that, there is even a video game called Dogs Playing Poker!!!.
The paintings themselves were done by American artist Cassius Coolidge (C.C. Coolidge) and were commissioned in 1903 by a Tobacco company to advertise cigars.
The titles in the "Dogs Playing Poker" series proper are:
The original series was joined in 1910 by a similar painting by Coolidge called Looks Like Four of a Kind.
On February 15, 2005, the originals of "A Bold Bluff" and "Waterloo" were auctioned as a pair to an undisclosed buyer for US$590,000!
Anyway, have to go now, gotta google "Dogs Playing Pool"!
