Andy's Advert Anonymous



Entering AA this week is Microsoft's "I'm a PC" advert.
Take a look.


Now the advert starts with a man very reminiceint of Apple's representation of what a PC is in Apple's "Get a Mac" campaign starring John Hodgeman and Justin Long as the PC and the Mac.
The Apple Ad =



WORST COMEBACK EVER!!

The Apple advert was released two years ago in 2006!!! What was Bill Gates doing counting all his money, then he retired then he finally saw the Apple ad?? Come on!!! The worst thing about it is the apparent figure being spent on the "Get a PC" campaign, it is $300 million. Hopefully someone at Crispin Porter + Bogusky the ad agency responsible will get fired.


Not only are you out of touch for taking 2 years to respond everything in your advert reaffirms everything the Apple add was representing you as!

I am not surprised advertising is full of posh idiots called Tarquin, Terrance and Marcus with rubbish ideas.

Esther Ranson leaves I'm a celeb


Esther Ranson and Simon Webbe were the final two names as Ant or Dec read out which of our celeb gods were safe or not. It was then Esther who became the fifth "Celeb" to leave the jungle.

To be fair to Esther, she was fairly famous in her day and has done a lot of charity work, but in the brutal world of dog eat dog z-list celebritydom she could not compete with the power houses of "The" Brian Paddock and professional boob merchant Nicola Mclean.

Esther has been there and done that so she doesn't really have anything to gain or grab hold off, she doesn't appear to have any massive desire for fame, it was more about the experience. After all the last meaningful peace of TV that Esther partook in was"excuse my French" which pitted everyones favourite football racist Ron Atkinson wannabe comedian Marcus Brigstoke (star of the unknown child shows "stupid" and "Sorry i've got no head" and Esther in a challenge to see who could immerse themselves in French culture and learn the language.

Alas when you have nutters like David Van Day despearate to climb the ladder of celebrity obscurity Esther just doesn't stand out.

Who goes next - whoever has signed up to be in Celeb Big Brother in the new year no doubt!

Mallet knocked out


After finishing in the bottom two of the IACGMOOH public vote with "The" Brian Paddock (The biggest Z list celebrity to ever grace the jungle floor). Timmy went head to head with "The" Brian Paddock in a shock bushtucker duel which would see the loser exit the jungle for good.

The bush tucker battle took place in the "gruesome last chance saloon" seeing the celebs knocking back a variety of bug concoctions.

It is a shame that Timmy lost out to "The" Brian Paddock, with a long run in the jungle I had high hopes that Timmy would have annoyed everyone so much that A) He would renew is musical partnership with Andrew Lloyd Webber and become the face of Britains next Eurovision entry. Or (B) He would have pushed his fellow celebs too far with his loud anarchic brand of "humour/entertainment" they would have wandered off into the jungle to never be seen again.

Oh well I guess we are left to look forward to his star turn in next years Iceland adverts.

Britney Spears overshadowed by those trying to emulate her.



What should have been a story about the triumphant return of Britney Spears to British shores - her first performance in five years - we were instead treated to something so dire it left us begging for the return of the erstwhile X factor loser Daniel Evans.
Despite Daniels inept ability to reach beyond the levels of cruise ship crooner, he was at least the one thing any singer should be, which is entertaining. Whereas Daniel stretched the limits of his ability every week on the X factor Britney Spears left us wishing she had never turned up at all.

Whoever makes the decisions for her in hindsight must concur getting her to mime to her own song in a week dedicated to her screams stupid. X factor is a show that requires people to sing live week on week. The X factor contestants no matter how inexperienced have become quite adept at singing live week on week. They come out and sing a Britney song live - they do it reasonably well - she then comes out and mimes badly. Who is the professional singer? Even Same Difference managed to mime in time with their song the previous week. I'd rather have Daniel Evans over Britney Spears any day of the week. The worst thing about it was the ridiculous adoration that she received from the judges on the completion of her performance - no wonder she is crazy if nobody can tell her she is awful - too many yes men around her I think.

THE RESULTS:

This was the first week where the decision on which contestant would go was solely the responsibility of the voting public. Despite Ruth Lorenzo putting in two great performances she found herself along with Eoghan Quigg - High School Musical wannabe - awaiting to see which of them would join Alexandra, Diana and JLS in the semi final. Despite the best efforts of Louis Walsh to sabotage his own act JLS showed they must have a strong public following along with longtime favourite Diana Vickers. Diana overshadowed by Alexandra this week is in danger of seeing her favourite moved to her rival. Despite strong performances I still don't enjoy Alexandra's performances, there is something about her attitude that doesn't allow me to find her likeable.

As Dermot announces the fourth semi finalist it is the sultry spaniard who has to go home, with her powerful vocal ability the only one to rival Alexandra it will be interesting to see where Ruth's votes go next week. With Alexandra, Diana and Eoghan the only acts not to be in the bottom two, it looks likely that JLS could be up for the chop next week.

Anyone remember this guy? No me neither, apparently he appeared for a few weeks on X factor and was compared to someone called Ricky Gervai, who, apart from in Louis Walsh’s mind isn’t actually a real person. So in essence he offered this “bloke” neither a criticism nor a compliment, he actually might as well have said “you remind me of someone who doesn’t exist.” So… a Ghost? That’s right Daniel Evans (I remember him now the one with the wife… who died) was the first X factor contestant compared to a ghost.

I’m becoming increasingly concerned for the sanity of Louis Walsh, first their was the Ricky Gervai debacle, then he reduced Dannii minogue to a blubbering wreck off camera, meaning for the rest of last weeks show she couldn’t actually talk (thank god) Then as I sat, surprisingly bored by Kirsty Alsop’s appearance on Gordon Ramsey’s’ cook along live I spotted him sitting staring blankly into a camera while rotund DJ Chris Moyle’s served him prawn cocktail; Also have you noticed he claps like monkey.

X Factor tonight, and I’m going to happily predict a bottom two of JLS and Ruth Lorenzo.

Dani Behr who cares

As the second of our so called celebrities departed the jungle of I'm a celeb get me out of here tonight, I am left with the thought.... are we all celebrities?

After all just take a look this years I'm a celeb line up. Brian Paddock - who hey he you may ask - that's right you guessed it - a former policeman and London mayoral candidate! He is then closely followed by 'professional WAGS' Nicola Mclean and Carly Zucker. The rest of the line up is a mish mash of ex actors - former boyband members and tv personallities who have been off our screens for long enough for us to forget them.

Celebrity and fame should be put upon people who actually achieve something! However I'm a celeb and it's commrades continue to promote celebrity culture in it's current form. This only serves to brainwash a nation in to believeing we are all able to achieve anything and that we deserve huge adulation and admiration for our great great talents that we don't have!
