Spike 0 #1 December 8, 2003 Did anyone else see the Tunes throat lozenge advert last night? The scene is a jumper (student?) wearing a Protec hung up in a tree with people unawares passing by down below. The student is quietly croaking "help" and the voice over says "don't you wish you had Tunes" or some such. Laughed my ass off, but I do wonder how many of the general public will get it.

goose491 0 #2 December 8, 2003 Sounds funny. Curious though: Quote Laughed my ass off, but I do wonder how many of the general public will get it. Why do you suppose whuffo's wouldn't understand? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #4 December 8, 2003 That IS pretty funny. I could just imagine a student doing something like that.... Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike 0 #5 December 8, 2003 Based on a very small audience sample who didn't get it. The friends I was with (all non jumpers) couldn't figure why I was laughing. They saw someone in a helmet hanging from a tree and without explanation couldn't relate the bag of washing hung in the branches to a canopy and skydiving. The advert was real short, maybe there's a full version where you see the canopy fly into the tree? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #6 December 8, 2003 yeah I saw it. She's wearing a horrid RW suit with no booties, a protec and has a large style three ring circus... defo points to a student (esp with a tree landing). great add. I live with two other skydivers and we all saw it together and just sat stunned for a sec... sort of... "did you just see on TV what I just saw or do I really need to start doing more with my life???" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 73 #7 December 10, 2003 McDonalds ran a simular add here in holland...everyone flocked to McDonalds for their new burger, and the jumper was the only one left behind. He was up in the tree, screaming for someone to take him along to the Mc..JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
