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. =)
