"They didn’t go to the same school but they have been together for ages and they are in love."

““They didn’t go to the same school but they have been together for ages and they are in love.””

- Father of a 13 year old British boy who has recently become a father.

For ages? FOR AGES? What, since he was a toddler?

Personally, I love the Tourism Victoria Ads. The “run rabbit, run” ad for the Yarra Valley is a favourite. But I don’t know how I feel about the newest offering promoting Daylesford, also known as the “spa capital of Australia”. The song is extremely haunting (“Down to the river to pray” sung by Paris Wells and the Brunswick Women’s Choir), but the imagery evokes visions of a crazy swinging religious sect in the middle of country Victoria. In a word: WEIRD. (That, and I kept thinking all the way through the ad, “Jesus, she needs to eat a hamburger”).

On the plus side, it seems to have pissed off the Christians, particularly for the “sexualisation” of the sacrament of baptism. Are they right to be offended? You be the judge.

Post Script: Turns out this ad is part of a $7.3 million campaign (!) to promote Daylesford over a three year period. Money well spent? Methinks in the negative, sadly.

Rooster: It's a miracle that it didn't rain much yesterday.
Mushroom: I'm pretty sure that was actually the work of Satan.

I have had a massive crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt since he was Tommy Solomon on 3rd Rock from the Sun. My did he grow up. After seeing him in Brick, Mysterious Skin and now (500) Days of summer, it turns out that my teenage infatuation lives on.
