Advertising

December 2nd

Having so far failed to make any Corsican friends in Ile Rousse, I’m watching a lot of French telly, which is frequently surreal. My current favourite adverts are:

A jelly which inexplicably sings in English ‘Mr Jelly, flashy, Mr Jelly, funny!’, neither of which are valid attributes for a gelatin-based dessert.

A computer game called ‘les lapins crétins’, just because I like the word cretin.

An advert for dairy products in which the skeletons of the three little pigs, wearing paper pig masks and speaking with the creepy voices of small children, launch a ninja style attack on the big bad wolf and then get showered with milk from the udders of a giant cow.
