Subject: BS: No Ads Till the Result!
I think there may well be a good song in this, but I decided that the BS tag was safer.... :-)
Setting the Scene...
Australian Election on Saturday - Channel 7 big "Election Night Special" - non-stop - Advertised with "No Ads Till the Result"....
I wondered how they would pay for this, then it dawned on me
Product Placement!
Good Evening Prime Minister - "Would you like a Coca-Cola? You know, Things Go Better with Coke!"
And you, Mr Rudd, Leader of the Labour Party,
"No Thanks, I'll have a Pepsi - Drink of The Young Generation!"
OK, Now I'll just sit in the corner and wait for the rest of the Mudcat Clowns....
