About as cringe-worthy as the Coles Quo ads too.
This kind of advertising is looking more American every day!



ROTFLMAO, I hadn't seen that one before!

**Pretty sneaky too. None of the TV stations will air his ads, but the  
public interest is so great that millions will watch them on youtube. He  
doesn't have to pay the TV stations a single cent to air them. Brilliant!

"Trevor Wilson"




** Not entirely true.

The ad will run but not during the evening TV news as booked, since it has a  
PG rating.

Ch 9 have told Dick he will be billed for the time slot in any case  -  
unless he can come up with a new, less " adult " ad for them to run.

The ad going "viral" is probably as intended.

Very cunning. Getting 'free' publicity from the press and TV stations
via the censorship bureau.

Poor old Dick. Suffering acute delusions of relevance.

How appropriate - Dick Smith selling groceries....

Nice twist.

BTW When I have my two kids telling me about it, and my wife showing it to me on
her iPOD, then it has gone viral, and  
Dick has done his job. All sorted.

As Ugly Dave would have said "Clever Dick"

Dick is clearly the long-lost brother Wiggle, cast out from the core
group for his bespectacled look! He must have attempted to form his own
electro-wiggle group, but it did not appeal to the masses!
