How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
Whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of it's releases.

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

moreResolved Question: Do you think the M&S Christmas advert is offensive?
I don't, the sight of Noemie Lenoir in her underwear makes me very very happy :-)
My friend however believes it to be highly offensive, that it objectifies "wemon", also that this leads to abuse, enforced prostitution, rape, and assaults, making these things more acceptable in society. Yet, I've NEVER seen her object to the advertising around that objectifies men, shows them being treat like idiots or sexually harassed, funny that, huh?
Finding a woman (or a man) sexually or physically attractive does not equate to supporting the rape or abuse of women (or men), there is a whole hell of a lot more involved in these issues. If objectifying is a contributing factor I'd argue it's human nature to find others attractive on their physical appearance, before getting to know their personality, as long as there is respect for that person then there's nothing wrong with that - the issue is respect for women, I don't see finding a beautiful woman in her underwear attractive as being disrespectful to her or women on the whole.
Coincidently Noemie Lenoir is an underwear model, is it only unacceptable when a man considers her to be attractive? Or is it wrong that she models underwear at all? Is she saying it's okay to rape her or other women just because she is attractive and models underwear?I'd say she's feminist - this is why I dislike feminism, it's women as victims and men as evil, that's not equality.
Adverts are part of media and so it effects how society views the world...but in this case there's nothing wrong!Oh, and she was prancing around in her underwear in last years advert...no one objected then, it's just this year a man expressing a like for her makes it 'offensive'.Jane, sexism is a pretty big issue, it's not something you just overlook.

Hi:) Could you look through my writing and correct my grammatical mistakes? It is a part of my coursework. Thank you very much for your help!
"Some key words, slogan, language used or sense of humour can be difficult to understand for different people because of their background. In some countries people have a very specific sense of humour, which is not easily to understand by non-natives speakers. Some advertising may be attractive and funny for some nations, when people form some countries may don’t understand what’s so funny about the same advert even if it is translated into their own language.
As I mentioned before, all different customers have different expectation and if Disneyland decides to expand to one of the Muslim countries like Indonesia, Pakistan or Bangladesh they must consider their range of products and services which they want to provide. For example, they must take into consideration their catering facilities, and they may decide to provide special Muslim halal food restaurants, which will be using use food that have been prepared according to Islamic believes.
All businesses when they are expanding must make sure that they spotted all differences between their home country and a country in which they want to operate and reflected these differences on their marketing campaign in order to be successful on other market and avoid many mistakes, which could be difficult to fix."Thank you!!!!

She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs all the way up. You know the kind. So he is in his room and figures, what the hell, he gave her a call.
"Hello?" the woman says.
God she sounded sexy! "Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I’d like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I’m in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I "m talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we’ll do it.

A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers.
"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.
Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke.
"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.
"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"
The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing."
But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

I'm having an event for the gay men of my university's LGBT society. I've advertised it as "gays in their PJ's," the idea being that the guys come dressed in pyjamas and we can stay up late talking about boys. (I think it could be very funny!) But anyway - what I want to know is a game to play while they are here. We'll probably head out to a bar later in the night so I only need to fill about an hour with a good game. There could be as few as about ten people, but this number could go up, so it needs to be the kind of game people can join in with at any time. It would also be nice if it was a drinking game, or something that provokes a bit of flirtation (nothing too over the top though!)
I've thought about it for quite a while and I can't think of anything. It's needs to be something simple without too much planning.

moreResolved Question: Is this mad or sad or just funny?
Jock Mactavish developed a new style of nail and found a niche for them in Ireland. He wanted them advertised on T.V. there so he contacted Murphys advertising agency. They said "We’re the cheapest because we don’t give demos, previews etc, we make the add and it goes straight out on T.V. the following week."
O.K. said Jock. "Its Easter next week and people will be wanting to do a bit of D.I.Y. so put out the add during the holidays, mainly on Easter Sunday."
The following week on Saturday during the evening film the break started and the ads ran. Jock watched uninterested when an ad came on he didn’t recognise. It started with a dark stormy cloud scene, the occasional flash of lightning, strong beams of sunlight trying to get thru breaks in the clouds, the camera panned down bringing into view a piece of wood. Further down a cross beam could be seen then a circle of thorns on top of a head. Eventually the camera stopped and moved back revealing Jesus Christ on the cross. A flash of lightning, roar of thunder and then a caption showed beneath the cross followed by the voice over for it:
"If you want a job done right this Easter then use Jocks nails" followed by a inserted product picture stating only 99p a box special offer this Easter.
Well, as one can imagine Jock was well pissed off. He got on the blower to Murphys and politely asked what the fuck they were up to; if they didn’t sort this ad out he would move his account elsewhere.
"We’re very sorry Mr Jock" came the reply, "trust us, we shall have a better advert tomorrow."
Sure enough, Easter Sunday evening, the ads rolled and Jock watched with interest. Then he sat forward, mouth wide open, his eyes almost popping out of his head, the same advert was being shown as before. Again the camera panned down from the stormy sky, the top of the cross appeared followed by the cross beam until the camera stopped and pulled back. On the screen was a similar scene except piled up in a heap at the bottom of the cross was Jesus Christ. After the flash of lightning and roar of thunder the caption showed followed by the voice over:
"They should have used Jocks nails" - still only 99p a pack until Tuesday

moreResolved Question: I sold my pony two months ago now they want to send her back?!!?
Hi
this is a long long one but any help be super please!!!!
I sold my lovely little pony two months ago to a family as a family, childs pony, I bought her as I felt so sorry for her (very poor condition) and decided to sell her as I grew over the six months (wider not taller sadly) and got to heavy to ride her ;(
she was such a joy to own, was great hacking alone and in company. would pop a small jump, and loved the fuss stand hours to be groomed, my nephews would ride her on lead rein she be like a donkey!! so when the mother/daughter wanted her to hack out on and lead rein for six year old it sounded perfect they were fully aware she was a bit green but only wanted to do the above so was not worried, and that she was a rescue case when i bought her
I offered several viewings but the women fell in love with her and bought her.. the new owner wanted keep her on her own, I advised that I had never kept her alone before but she never worried about being in the field, or stable on her own so I honestly did not know how she be if kept 24/7 the lady explained that she would always move her to a livery yard is she was un happy. when I first bought her she was funny about picking her back feet out but was fine once I done it a few times and the lady even picked all four out when she viewed my pony with no problems and I explained this to her at time of purchase
well they bought her two months ago now, I have kept in regular contact with the new owner, as she could not pick her feet out at all once i had got her there. she also had trouble putting a bridle on, she then mailed me to say my pony was settling she had managed to pick out one foot and had tacked up no issues and been on a lovely ride.
then mailed to say she had a few ups and downs as she had bucked the daughter off riding her in from the field, I was mortified but she mailed me to say she did not think I had mis lead her or been dishonest about my pony, and that she knew she was green but knew the gamble involved. just needed less feedings settling in time and patience
I mailed back saying she never been like this and maybe was missing the equine stimulation of other company etc anything i could do to help i would
She is now asking for a full refund and for me to have my pony back, which is not a option as I have now bought something else, she has said my pony is dangerous and that people have advised she is barely broken??? and also that she has been rearing whilst being lead on to the field??!!! and amongst other things her pelvis was out from a long injury and also she had lice?? apparently all from when I owned her?? and the farrier struggled to do her shoes .i think horse had lice for two months she be red raw?? and if she done her pelvis with me why did she not show any signs and the physio can be that specific form one visit, how?? horses can do this rolling in the stable!!
my farrier never had any problems, and he is happy to say this
none of the other horses have lice from our yard, and my pony never ever behaved this way whilst i owned her, it upsets me that for what ever reason my lovely girl is not happy.
I think that my pony is un happy being kept alone, she has no other animals, no sheep pig,goat or cow , and has several paddocks but none big enough to run around and they have only ridden her once for 45 mins the other time she sat her six year old coming in from the field which is the time she bucked her off, which to be honest I think no wonder she is bored stiff
the lady has been saying she has been to trading standards and she has rights, as I have sold something that is not as advertised. my pony was and had been exactly as advertised when she left my yard, and the problems they have experienced as I have explained have gotten worse over time, I think its down to her getting more lonely as time goes on and no stimulation not even being ridden that often. she never was a pony that needed riding everyday I work full time so only did about three/four times a week, but she had lots friends turned out summer kept in bad weather.
any advice help would be amazing as I want my girl to be happy but they i just cant have her back now i have something else..

moreResolved Question: would you listen to a [dedicated] comedy radio station...with the only news allowed being satirical or funny,?
i would like [upon waking] to be able to turn my radio/clock on, and come into the day with laughter.....yes sure..-later on i can turn to the dour stations to get the latest negative detritus about what happening in the world today...but i want at least my first half hour to be funny----not childish and manic teen radio1 with crap plastic music---nor amateurish commercial radio with inane presenters and worse--wall to wall advertising to infect my brain.
now you may say i can do a tape of funny stuff and play that each morning [--i have already tried!] but you see i have an active mind a low tolerance for unoriginality---i want to hear stuff ive never heard before, including people who i might not have thought of tuning into based on their reputations.
it would be gorgeous to hear quality comedians sending up the days news and puncturing the pompous egos of those who desperately want to be in the news--wannabe celebs politicians etc.
i want a dedicated comedy radio station....do You..?!

The pastor of donkey church realised that he was going to starve as collection dwindled every Sunday. Then he made a plan.
After a hectic advertising campaign the church was packed the following Sunday. The Pastor, in full cry yelled " Jesus said "I'll come as a dove"
Church members: "Amen"
Pastor: "I say Jesus said "I'll come like a dove"
Members: " Amen"
And suddenly out of the ceiling came a white dove. The Members, having witnessed a miracle started donating bucks like no man's business. The pastor was excited and in an attempt to increase his profits kept repeating his formula.
For the 4th time he yelled. For the 4th time money kept flowing.
Then he went for the fifth. " I have prophesied, Jesus shall surely come like a doooooooove from the skies."
Suddenly a head appeared out of the ceiling and complained " But daddy all the doves are finished "
