Ad vans theory

Erstwhile gentleman Matt Boyle has collected me a pair of moving targets to share with you today. Granted, they weren't actually moving when he photographed them, but it makes the capture all the more satisfying when you know your timing was perfect.

Oh my, I've just had the horrible thought of how many beauties I must have missed in the past. Damn you trasportable wordplay! You've (probably) bested me again!

Enough of that, let's dissect:



TV, Video and.. microwave repair? Bit of an odd one to throw in with the previous two. Did he go round an old dear's house who thought her telly was on the blink, only to find out she'd put the microwave in the corner of the lounge? "I just can't seem to tune it in and I want to see Strictly!" she'd gently weep. Not having the heart to tell her, our trusty repairman swaps it for his own TV set, so little Dorris can get her fix of Brucie and the gang. What a hero.



As if owning a Citröen Xsara wasn't enough of an indicator, the lass at Overcome With Emulsion feels it's very necessary to point out that her company is a FEMALE Painter & Decorators. Is that sexist? I mean who cares? YOU GO GIRL! Stand up to the man!! My Mum's currently turning my brother's bedroom into some sort of guest suite, but she's not in there burning her bra and playing the ruddy Spice Girls on her paint-splattered radio.

The other, slightly worrying thing is that although it's a great pun, would you want to advertise a company where you're welcomed else's home as a female that gets "overcome with emotion?" Not exactly a good ad is it? "Sorry, I meant to finish the daido rail today but I broke down in tears and painted BASTARD! in Antique Satin across the wardrobe instead. Might need another week."
