There's a major ad campaign going on over here at the moment urging voters to learn as much as they can about the Lisbon Treaty before deciding which way they want to vote in June.. All to be encouraged, of course, and I don't want to seem a grouch, but the ads are terrible. The tv ad features people walking around the city without either the upper or lower halves of their body while the voiceover tells us about how important it is to get the full picture before voting. As the ad goes on, more and more peoples' legs and bodies meet and join up as they get the full picture.. It's pants - you it looks like it could be an ad for a multivitamin drink or Actimel or something like that..
There's posters all round town for the same thing. They've got 3 people in each one - a housewife! a farmer! a businessman! Look - it's a student! And that's a bloke in trainers! Hey - it's a pretty girl! Wow - it's all of us, do you see? Brilliant.. They reckon it's costing 5million quid..
All this is before anyone even tells us how they want us to vote.. The agenda posters are a whole other bag of crazy! Would you buy a Lisbon Treaty from this man?
Me neither. And who thought it was a good time to bring monkeys into the equation?
Still, it's not all bad. There's a Lisbon poster around the corner from work. An enterprising individual with an eye for an opportunity has gotten out his paint brush and a tin of paint and embellished the poster. Frankly, I think it's genius..
