I do! It is one of my favourite channels besides E!, MTV and AXN. Yeah, I love to watch those other three channels too. Fashion is the best!
Anyway, I was just lazing around on my sofa the other day when I saw this advert that was showing on National Geographic Channel about Britain's Greatest Machines by Chris Barrie and I couldn't help but laugh. I'm not laughing at the inventions but I was just laughing at the advertisement.
I love the part when he talks about "the iconic transit van", backbone of the nation's workforce and because of its impressive performance, "a big hit with the bank robbers". LOL! How true. And that's why I laughed.
Well, I just love brilliant advertisements such as this one. I mean, I have to admit that sometimes shows like the National Geographic can be quite boring. But when I see advertisements like this, it really grabs my attention and I feel like waiting in front of the TV and catch it when it will be aired. They don't have to bring out sexy ladies or bling-bling into the frame, just say something funny that consists of 5 words is fine already. Plus, I've always liked to learn more on British histories and what-not's.
Being in the advertising field requires a lot of new and fresh ideas. Something that is very hard for me to do because it's quite hard for me to get out and refresh my mind or eyes with my surroundings. Part of the reason is because of the limited funds I have and another is because I'm not married yet and I have parents who are quite strict with girls - and in this case, since I'm the only girl - it's tougher. Which is why lately, my creative thinking has dwindled from little to almost none because my lack of catching on with the what's-up's of the outside world. In my spare time, I read - and I do read a lot - but sometimes I just need to get out there before my brain turns square.
Like what they say in the movie Cry Baby (oh Jonny Depp is hot! yummy), "you don't want to turn into a SQUARE!"
