I have decided to jack in my current job and go into the soulless sharkpool that is advertising.

My big idea will be brutally honest advertising.

I know, I know - people who have slagged off their products before have suffered the consequences. But this is the brave new twothousandties! People are ready for this stuff.

I have been "thinking outside the box" and would like to "brainstorm" the following:

- Citroen: You think it will bring a dash of French mystery into your dull life. It won't.

- ASDA/WallMart: They say you get what you pay for. They are right.

- Advanced Hair Studio: Because deep down you know your girlfriend is lying about bald men and could leave at any second.

Have you ever seen "Crazy People" starring Dudley Moore? If this is what you're into, I'd think you'd like it.

You mean not only did someone beat me to it, but that person was Dudley Moore?

I guess I'll just have to go for my second choice of new job - lapdancer.

A fantastic idea!!!

Here's some of mine:

- New Metallica CD promo video: It may look good, but sounds just as crap as ever

- Enlarge your penis: No, that's right. It's your fault. It has nothing to do with your girlfriend being built like the channel tunnel.

- Drink pepsi max, new improved flavour: the aspartam will give you cancer, but what the hell, if you need to drink a diet drink, you're probably of ill health anyways.

- Buy an Alfa Romeo 33. It may look like crap...it is.

- Drink Budweiser beer. Although Monty Python compares it to sex in a canoe, it's not. It's more like a garlic tasting snog on some cheap see-saw in an overgrown park.

Some of my favourites from "Crazy People":

AT&T - "Quit bitching - Without us you wouldn't have any damn phones."

Volvo - "Boxy, but good."

Sony - (after a TV ad extolling the virtues of precision japanese labour) "Because Caucasians are just too damn tall."

I strongly advise you not to quit your day job just yet.
