i did! we did! she did...

there's this ad that's been broadcasting on radio recently (at least on class 95)...apparently hsbc is giving away a whooping $50k or something like that...but wait...

stupid man (sm): honey, we can go on more family holidays...
stupid woman (sw): sigh...
sm: or buy a beachfront house... (???)
sw: ahhh...
sm: i know, i know! i can retire and relax at home ALL day!
sw: sigh... *suddenly realises that she heard something bad* what?!
sm: err...help you at home ALL day!
sw: ahhh...

hsbc...the world's local bank? err...yeah...maybe in a place with $50k beachfront houses...the same amount with which you can happily retire...it's called the "gobi-desert-meets-the-ocean" place.

and what is it with ads nowadays??? they all centralise around spineless henpecked men...think jamie reeves (jr) and wife (jrw) in the "profitable plots" ad on espn star sports:

jr: buy uk land! i did!
jrw: *clears throat*
jr: ok...we did!
jrw: *elbows jr*
jr: ok...she did...
jrw: *smiles widely*

sheesh...loving your wife and getting a shitload of money to be on a commercial is one thing...but getting henpecked on international television takes something else...whatever...to each his own...

actually ah...come to think of it...considering the fact that most ad people are women...maybe this is their way of making dreams come true. imagine: a world where men actually do what women want!

sexist mcp??? who me??? nah...i just like a bitch (definition: a complaint or otherwise...hehe) or two every now and then. haha.

cheers. =)

Jamies Reeves and his wife (and probably ESPN Asia) are probably regretting that right now. Look up Land banking on the internet and try accessing the PP webpage. I think you may find PP are not on the adverts in the new season and ESPN should get slapped for supporting it.

If you put your name on something and take the money you should probably make sure its not a scam before you do so or people will attach that scam to you. .
