Advertisments

50s -Initially they had cartoons ,those as good as what we can scrapbook in primary 4 .

60s-Then they had some little jingles

70s-They tend to make a link in everything to beautiful people

80s They still tend to make a link in everything to beautiful people ,just with lesser fabric

90s -Lifestyle endorsements .They dont just smile and get photographed .They have to publicise the products whereever you go.Imagine telling everyone how good ...the taste of some burger is for your entire life or the contract period

They decided that people trusted life experiments more and used the masses to appeal to the masses .

They decided to do away with people or simple things and included abstract advertisments ,making the audience ponder for ten minutes before understanding the advertisment .WOW have they succeeded ?Well hell no ,I will remember that brand vividly for being the most user unfriendly .


People treat your weekends like gold ,just as how army guys treasure their precious weekends .

A funny joke!

---Baked Beans ---

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see! me and exclaimed delightedly: 'Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.'

He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went
to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.

Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes.
The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: 'Happy Birthday!'

I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kids today

I went out with some friends for badminton yesterday, and there we met a child of 5 or 6 of age who was extremely talented at that sport. He could defeat a number of my friends, and was on par with one of my friends who was once in the school team. He was amazing, but a little spoilt. He claimed ownership of the court, and didn't pause to consider the fact that it was his dad who booked it and not him. And I could tell how overly proud he is of himself, whenever a match ends. He sometimes laugh at his opponent when he wins, and screams LOUDLY when he loses. I wouldn't consider him a sportsman, no matter how good his skills are, unless he changes that disgusting attitude.

On my way back home on the MRT, the train was packed like mad. Yet some children were jumping around in their seats, much to the disgust of many commuters, while their poor mother made a futile attempt to beg them to stop. Nobody did anything, for we knew that if the mother can't do much to them, what more can we?

When I tried to get to sleep at 11pm, the children next door were playing, LOUDLY. Much to my annoyance (and amazement), they managed to keep me awake for another one hour before I finally fell into slumber. Yes, we can argue that children are supposed to be noisy in the first place. But shouldn't they at least realise that many people are sleeping at that hour?

I think children today are becoming more and more ill-mannered. I attribute this mainly to the lack of discipline by the parents, who are now becoming "filial" to their children. The roles are being switched here. I wonder what will become of our world, when we eventually have to entrust the new generation with that huge responsibility. Ouch.

Smile

Different ethnic groups have their own unique cultures and languages. For instance, more conservative Asians may find hugs and kisses in the public offensive, while their western counterparts regard that as a form of greeting. But we do have one thing in common - the common language of smiles.

Smiles can work wonders. A simple smile can brighten up a person's day, even if it has been bad earlier. People look their best when they smile, too. I mean, who wants to look at a snarling old chap, rather than a beign smiling fellow? That's exactly why we should smile more. :)

Here are some jokes I ripped off the Internet. Hope it can at least make the sides of you mouth curl up a LITTLE.

Joke #1
A man and his wife entered a dentist's office.
The wife said, "I want a tooth pulled. I don't want gas or Novocain because I'm in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible."

"You're a brave woman," said the dentist. "Now, show me which tooth it is."

The wife turns to her husband and says: "Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear."

Joke #2

Joke #3
There was a blonde driving down the road one day. She glanced to her right and noticed another blonde sitting in a nearby field, rowing a boat with no water in sight.

The blonde angrily pulled her car over and yelled at the rowing blonde, "What do you think you're doing? It's things like this that give us blondes a bad name. If I could swim, I'd come out there and kick your butt!"

SMILE. :)
