LT42 A Whopper about Big Macs…
vinnyt77 That was one nugget of mis-info he should’ve skipped
Mad_Cyril Prof Marc Dweck, the chair of clinical cardiology at the University of Edinburgh:
“Professor Marc Dweck, the SO CALLED chair of clinical cardiology at the University of Edinburgh…”
FTFY 👍️
vinnyt77 Could have been Prof Denzil Dexter for all I care.
They’re all about the profile, unfortunately a lot get sucked into the bilge pipe.
Back to more important matters, have we found any more Tomatoes more expensive than Big Mac’s?
LT42 Funky’s whole house of cards comes crashing down because of a needless lie about the price of tomatoes. Disappointing.
Lol!
Funky was right -

San Marzano tomatoes were a large part of The Pizza Connection case in the US in the 70s. The Bonnanos were smuggling heroin into the US, through Canada, using tins of Marzano which were distributed to all the pizzerias where the “Brown Gold” was then repackaged for the streets. Carmine Galante got shot through the eyeball because he monopolised the profits for himself due to his cousin in Naples holding a massive San Marzano production operation. 7 degrees of separation between anti-vaxxer Funky in Belfast in 2023 and one of the most famous murders in Mafia history in Joe & Mary’s diner on Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn 1979.
Funky sorry mate. just pulling your leg. No offence intended.
LT42 😂 lol!
I never knew the government hired advertising agencies to come up with slogans such as ‘Stay at home’ lol!
Sounds like they continue to grab a slice of the pie…

Hursty that’s how it’s always worked Hursty. Buy food, sleep in a bed, smoke tabs. Advertising requires no thought and it doesn’t affect people, right?!
Hursty Getting a civil servant to knock up a quick PowerPoint would have been lethal!
Hursty covid advertising you say?
Someone pass me the sick bucket:
Along_the_Wire yeah for sure, it just amazes me the government needed help to come up with ‘Stay at home’ and hand washing procedures which have been in place in every medical facility for donkeys years and could have been reused?
Oh, you know what Grant’s doing, he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market, he’s very smart
C_J 30 more days of this shit and I’m out, CJ! There are other threads I can mention this on too
Hursty there’s more to advertising than the slogan, Hursty. That’s all I’m saying.
Hursty I imagine the cabinet in the early days of the of pandemic to be a lot like an episode of the apprentice…
Along_the_Wire That’s right - someone’s got to draw the pictures as well 👍
Along_the_Wire I’ll take your word for it.
Talking of the Apprentice, I’ve not watched it for years but I do remember an advertising task where the contestants had to pitch to JCDecaux, and they got absolutely roasted by the panel of advertising experts for being hopeless
vinnyt77 messaging Tim, get the messaging right. The vaccine campaign was particularly successful. A very simple message too.
Along_the_Wire Oh, you mean the jingle?
Hursty Isn’t that the premise of basically every episode? Get 12 low IQ fuckwits to perform a task for which they’re woefully inadequate, and then laugh at their pitiful attempts to pitch their resulting work to industry professionals?
Hursty one of my mates was one of the experts. The day that you think a reality show is the place to make any judgement call, outside of everyone concerned being a cunt, is just plain stupid.
vinnyt77 yeah definitely, for some reason I just remember that one as the experts were exceedingly professional and cut throat, no messing, just tore into them like knife through butter
