No boring bits
The woman in front of me at the supermarket checkout today had a box of Tim Tam Cornetto ice creams. Across the box was the tagline “no boring bits”.
Since when was dessert or ice cream “boring”?
Is this like businesses everywhere loudly declaring they are “dedicated to customer service and quality”?
Ice cream… mmmmm…

dude i think i’m losing my faith in ya. Lots of companies use advertising coz it works. It doesn’t really matter what they say mate. Think about it like this right … if, all ur life, u see advertisements for a certain type of vacuum cleaner (even if they’re shit), then u move out and setup your house. When u go to buy one, that brand will be in ur head. It will seem trusted. Do u know what I’m saying mate?
That’s all advertising has to do man. It’s even better if it’s funny but like real life, the majority of ppl aren’t funny dude. It’s not good to say “why do companies say they’re dedicated to customer service yet it’s really crap”. That’s a crap statement mate. The reason why is coz everyone has a different experience. Some ppl would love a companies service and another will hate it.

Oh dear, what have I started here? It’s ice cream guys!
To respond to allan’s first comment: I don’t disagree at all with your points. The way advertising is at the moment is because it has been working. But how long will it continue to work?
We live in a world where we don’t stop and question enough any more. We accept the messages we are bombarded with without question. We think we have a choice by ignoring it, but do we really? Consider the media’s portrayal of unrealistic body images and what that is doing to women’s self esteem. And I bet many women believe they can ignore the ads, but research has shown that those messages get through.
Sure many people will have different takes on and experiences of a business’ customer service. My point is not about that, but rather how many companies say the bleeding boring obvious in their marketing, often without thinking or meaning any of it, and then worry about how they don’t stand out from their competition. If everyone mouths off the same cliches how can anyone stand out?
i’m gonna create you a new bum hole Wilson. How large would ya like it?
How about as big as your head…then I can go and sit on you.
right that’s it. what’s ur address wilson?
OK – that’s it boys. No more such comments please.
Instead of swapping addresses for bum hole related activities, how about you send them to me and I will post you both some chocolate. Does that sound better?
