Now then my little monkeys.<\/p>\n
I was thinking today about clever adverts. Some band, who are apparently called the Pigeon Detectives, have apparently got some poxy new album out, or something, at the moment. Who cares. Well, I care, not because their music is worth another second of my precious lifespan, but because the advertising for it is clever. OK, so they have billboard adverts around the place.<\/p>\n
But this is the clever thing, you see. The album’s called “Emergency”. Emergency<\/em>, right? So on my way to work yesterday, the railings of a building site I passed had this red and blue tape around it, blocking off holes and making it look like an accident scene. They said EMERGENCY and PIGEON DETECTIVES on them. “That”, I thought to myself, “is clever”.<\/p>\n The Mystery Jets had their logo sprayed on phone boxes near my work earlier in the year too, which is quite good, because it’s a weird plane thing with a question mark in it. So it is actually a mystery<\/em>. See what they did there?<\/p>\n And apparently last night on Channel 4, Honda did an advert with skydivers spelling out the word ‘HONDA’ that was broadcast live<\/em>. Flipping heck.<\/p>\n Brilliant. What other clever adverts are kicking around?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now then my little monkeys.
