Television

Mon Oct 19, 2009, 12:02 PM
  • Mood: Humor
  • Listening to: Sister's comments on TV show
  • Watching: Extreme Skinny Celebs 2
  • Eating: Pancakes =)
  • Drinking: Milk
So, this journal is dedicated to the worst of television, but also to do a small comparison between the worst of British TV, and American TV.

:w00t:

... God help you all.


The reason for this? My sister and I just saw the most awful British ad ever to be given airtime.

Before I give you the link, and before you watch the damn thing, please bear these two things in mind;

1. The accents you'll hear surround the area I live in, and they ARE that annoying.
2. I have lived in Britain my whole life, and I have never, ever heard the slang words 'reddies' or 'wonga'.

Envirofone Ad 2009

This is the American advert we've decided is the worst we've ever seen.

Points to consider;

1. The girl turns the page of the book backwards.
2. Robe, anyone?
3. It keeps you TOTALLY WARM.

As an added bonus, you get my sister and my adored parody of the above ad. It picks up on everything we hate about it =D

So what do you think?

Which is worse?


And if you have other suggestions, please share =)

THEN! [link]

Mercury got 16. The character of me that I wrote last year got 62. This made me LAUGH A LOT.

Haha, you're such a Mary-Sue.

I did that thing with Atlanta and she got 45 :XD: I think it might have been swung a little by the fact that she was originally based off of me :aww: But mostly she gets Mary-Sue points for being so easy going -- people like her, she admits when she's wrong, she knows when to quit while she's ahead... you know. Does that make her Mary-Sueish?

ALSO Edward Cullen gets 78. I can't believe Harry beat him!

Yeah, I think it was a biased thing anyway to make everything like a Mary Sue. The only reason Mercury scored lowly was because she's... not easy going...

I'm gonna do it for Harry Potter!

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Harry gets 87. And I had to skip all the personal questions like 'Is he based on you?' because I didn't create him. LOL.

I don't know... in a lot of universes that test wouldn't have gotten a high Mary-Sue rating. Both girls lose points for being superheroes. I mean, lots of them. Fights, skills, flying, hero worship, envy... all kinds of crap on that test was the direct result of Atlanta being a superhero.

OH, I see what you mean by the Harry thing :XD:

Maybe I should do it on Bella Swan. I can't imagine how high she'd score!

I've been thinking (OH NO! This is about the book now) about making some of the girls a different nationality. I mean, it wouldn't make sense for CSP to put them in the same place. They're all gonna end up in the same place anyway! I'm just thinking Mercury as a Brit, and Nova as an Aussie. Or maybe Haze as the Aussie... this is just with hair colour, actually... for the Australians. My reasoning behind British Mercury is that it's a stereotypical British thing to be... I don't know, stiff upper lip? You know what I mean? Meh, it was just a thought. Plus Atlanta pretty much HAS to be American. It suits her much better! And America's a pretty large country (NO SHIT SHERLOCK!), so it's feasible that most of them would end up there.

Oh yeah, and I also thought that the girls nickname for the guys could be... wait for it... THE SPANDEX SQUAD! :D
