Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

They were so overtly and outrageously offensive how could you not?

If you ever fell asleep on the couch while watching TV, at least you knew at some point one of these ads would wake you up and remind you to go to bed.

RAW. PINE. BEDSIDES!

I had a gf who laughed at the way I buttered the crumpets.

Geoff Winter was the genius behind these ads. (original Cunno's Warehouse guy)

There were some he did in the 80s that were a direct rip off of Kenny Everett's Brother Lee Love with the big hands. Can't remember what they were for though. Furniture Discounters maybe?

Lounge Discounters. "Freebie Time" and "Freebie Madness". I believe his wife is the Designer Direct woman.

Also, remember before it was Cunningham's Warehouse it was Lovis & Cunningham's? I went to school with one of Lovis's sons. We all thought he was the shit because he had the first Casio calculator watch any of us had ever seen.

We were truly living in the future back in the 80s.

Another was his Parker pen with a digital watch in it.

The crows should have a mr. Bankrupt style membership ad so all the oldies can hear it.

Digital watches that were black. You had to press a button to see the time and could only do it 20 times a day to prolong battery life

I didn't realise it but i miss Cunningham's Warehouse & Mr Bankrupt ad's. Especially now where we seem to have 5x more channels on Tv yet every second advert is for a nutrient extractor.

I also miss a simpler time when phones were stuck to the inside of your house and when they rang they made a ringing sound. Not a whistle, not xylophone, not klaxons, and certainly not a bon jovi song. Heck, is even take a digital beep if pressed.

Also, since when were tracksuit pants ever appropriate attire in public unless heading to or from the gym or part of school sports uniform? If you're older than 15, wear teak clothes. While I'm at it, i don't care how fit you are, those spandex pants should not be seen on the train trip home.

Ps. OLD PEOPLE: turn keypad/touch tones off. Nobody else wants to hear your text message typing taps, or silly sudoku sounds or candy crush clicks. Just because you are deaf doesn't mean we can't hear it.

The first time I tried that was in a French restaurant, Le Petite Croix. It was September 2009 and the restaurant was is a laneway, Struthers Lane, a short walk from Cathedral Square in Christchurch NZ.

I feel very sad every time I see that label now.
