I’ve been quiet on the blog front recently and that’s down to three things:
1) Festival season has damaged me both mentally and physically.
2) I started a full time job – yes I waved goodbye to the freelance life.
3) And, I finally got an iPhone (so spend every spare second I get on that).
You’d think after months of being away I’d have some insightful wisdom to pass along, so here it is........
No, I'm not calling you that. It's actually an advert for Australia’s Northern Territory. And, I’m reliably informed it is real, albeit unofficial. Can't imagine the official tourism board would let something like this slip through the gap. It makes me want to visit Uluru. However, I value my life too much - have you seen some of those huntsman spider videos on Facebook? No thank you.
What I love about this ad is the provocative headline. And it doesn’t get more offensive than CUNT all in uppercase. In case you don't get the abbreviation, the message here is 'See You in the Northern Territory'. It takes balls for an agency to suggest this, and sheer madness to get it out of the door (suppose it is Aussie after all).
It’s bold, ballsy and they probably intended/half expected it to go viral. That's the reason I love it. It just about sums up the madness of 2016. I mean what with Brexit, Donald Trump and Wales getting further than England in the Euro's. What the fuck 2016.
