Funny ads
Posted on 03. Dec, 2004 by Cassandra.
Cherryflava attended the 2004 Cannes Golden Lions screening on Wedesday. We were just a tad disappointed with the offerings. All were a bit bland really….just seems like internationally agency’s make a a really funny short film and then slap a logo at the end of it.
Be that as it may…if you missed the show…here are the 2004 Funniest commercials of the year. A number of these were also Cannes award winners.
It’s strange that one or two are surprisingly similar to locally created ads presently running (Check the Aussie ad for Tooheys).
Word of the year

Blog noun [short for Weblog] (1999) : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.
At least in the Western world that is….here at home however; the 2004 South African Word of the year????????

Dog machine
Posted on 02. Dec, 2004 by Cassandra.
Part of the joy of owning a dog, are those many Saturday mornings spent on the beach throwing a saliva-soaked tennis ball (until your arm is about to fall off) for your loving pet.
It’s probably the main reason that owners put up with feeding and walking the animal for 20 years….the joy of the ‘fetch boy’ moment.
But now…you don’t have to worry about all of that stuff…introducing GO dog GO….the only automatic fetch machine for dogs. (batteries and balls not included0
The unit basically works via remote contol and can adjust to your dog’s ball catching ability. Rocket tennis balls 30 feet for super athletic wannabe hounds…or just 15 feet for one paw in the grave older canines.
The machine will keep them entertained for hours…which will allow you to catch up on more important things in life…like watching TV and travelling.
Now all they need to invent is the same thing for girlfriends. Call it GO girl GO……it’ll go shopping with her, buy her flowers, listen…all that good stuff. [Via]
Chelsy Davy
Posted on 01. Dec, 2004 by Cassandra.
The guys at Jo’blog spotted this brilliance via IOL this week. Apparently the world’s media has camped outside young Chelsy’s plush Newlands home trying to get a photo of the girl said to be Prince William’s Harry’s ‘first love’. It was such arp news that Cherryflava just breezed over it on the day…but now it’s so arb it’s actually interesting.
Why is this such big news…the young prince spends so much time at Po Na Na and the Fez that it just seems obvious that he’s going to hook up with a Capetonian. Besides…pickings are slim in the UK.
More about this huge story and another picture here…..and here…
Anything to sell newpapers…
