Shock, Horror! TV Advertising Lies!
The Media Guardian UK reports:
Dr Who: 40th Anniversary
That's right, the Doctor is 40 years young. Fans across the world celebrated in various ways. The BBC World News has a pretty good article here, and also lets you vote for your favourite actor to play the Doctor. When I voted, Tom Baker was sitting at 54% with no close rivals. I have to confess, though, I prefer Sylvestor McCoy. Who did you like the most?
The Media Guardian UK reports:
The television watchdog is investigating an advert for computer giant Intel showing mountaineers on Everest accessing the internet via a wireless laptop after almost 100 viewers complained it was misleading. The advert shows a climber watching heart-warming footage of loved ones on his Centrino computer. The viewers complained wireless internet connection is sometimes tricky in the UK, let alone halfway towards the world's highest peak.Okay, while I take the point that wireless access can be painful at times, who really thinks TV ads are true? I mean, the Tooheys' Extra Dry advertisement has a bloke's tongue leaving his mouth in search of beer and returning carrying one from a party in another house. Do you think that's real? Hmmm?
