    mental ????? they dont know the meaning of the word


    riding down the f6 the wrong way at 200klm and playing chicken
    with B doubles is just normal behaviour

    but posting here asking for advice is mental behaviour :)

    Wonder when the day will come when they are forced into providing REAL
    stories with GENUINE UNEDITED/TWISTED facts....

    You're confusing current affairs with the sale of prime time advertising.

    It's been at least six months, we're about due one. I suppose that means
    it's the unemployed's turn next month.

    Have they done any recent stories on dodgy builders ripping off poor
    pensioners? How about he fab new diet that's sweeping Australia? It's all
    quality on that show.

    about once or twice a year they get an interesting story about a one eyed pensioner ripping off builders
    then speeding their 111km/h electric scooter the wrong way up a one way street on their way to their latest
    fab diet meeting.

    Quite simply because no-one actually makes their voice heard.

    Watch the show.
    Note all ads during the show.
    Write (don't email) to every company advertised saying that because of
    the show you and all your 'stupid' bikie/biker mates will boycott their
    products becuae of the show.
    Let the shows producer know as well!

    That will give em a wake up call!

    Writing to the advertisers will tell them one thing.

    That the fact you took note of what company to write to means you have remmbered their name, and
    therefore the ad worked. It's all about getting the name "out there".

    As an example, Vulcan heating had an ad campaign where a guy (my father as a matter of fact) melted
    into the floor, surrounded by a bubbling goo which was meant to be his melted body. It was aired
    just before the evening weather report on channel 9.

    Vulcan recieved a flood of letters saying it was disgusting, having somerthing like that on tv at a
    time when people would be sitting down to dinner.

    Vulcan considered that campaign to be one of their most successful, purely for the reason that the
    complaining public knew which company to write to. The logic goes that in the future, when those
    people go shopping for heaters, Vulcan will be one name they remember.

    So go on. Write to the sponsors of Today Tonight. Have a whinge. They'll only see it as a sign that
    sponsoring that show gets their product's name into people's minds very effectively.

    Just because I know what won't work, doesn't mean I know what will.

    Actively discourage people from watching that crap. Viewers = ratings.
    Ratings = they keep dishing out that crap.
