A is for Advertising

Still in the mountains and starting to get in the groove of relaxing. This morning we missioned down to the restuarant at the resort for breakfast. Instead of having Cd's or normal background music playing, they had some mountain radio station. Firstly, I would just like to state that if ever my job doesn't work out for me, I'm pretty sure I can hook myself up a radio DJ gig down here cause the current guy is just USELESS!
Secondly, i think that people should really be evaluated before they go into advertising. Seriously? Everytime I see or hear a bad advert, I keep thinking "Why would the person who created this think that they were good at advertising?" or better yet, "Who the hell hired them and decided to use their work???" Having breakfast this morning, I sat and listened to their crap radio station - I mean I REALLY listened. An advert comes on advertising a conference centre mainly used for business. This is great and all, but why would you have the kid read the advert out? I mean it's not like an 8 year old has any use for a conference centre. The real kicker is at the end of the advert when the little boy says, "So can we go Dad?" and the father doesn't even respond - I'm gonna say it: that advert was a FAIL!

Anyway, onto more pressing matters. I have finally finished my synopsis and will probably be submitting my book sometime this week. Rejection letters = wall paper :-) I'm just saying.
