Insert scathing, yet incredibly witty and amusing title here.

You just can't take anyone seriously when they're wearing a purple suit


Have you seen this? Have you SEEN this??

Apparantly, it’s an attempt to discourage people from downloading films and music illegally. Because the music industry, not content with charging people outrageous amounts of money for a CD (Of which only a very little amount is ever set over to give to the performer) now wants to stop people downloading, and is doing stupid things like getting information about the people watching music videos and TV shows on YouTube and using ISP’s to track down music downloaders. ANYWAY, the point is, this ad is just….terrible.

I really, really don’t understand how this ad will discourage anybody from downloading. It’s so….crap. Some guy in a hideous 70’s purple VEST SUIT accusing someone of being a ‘knock-off Nigel’ who ‘downloads knock off films.’ Woah, I'm scared! If I download a film, someone might accuse me of being a knock-off Nigel! And I'm not even a boy! And DON’T get me started on the various changes in tempo and time signature as they try and fit all their crappy lyrics into an equally crappy tune. It’s quite possibly the least convincing ad I have ever seen. I would even consider the Sheila’s Wheels adverts to be more persuasive.

You know what the worst thing is?


At 00:15 he’s not even playing the flute. It’s physically impossibly to play a flute with your fingers in those positions.

This encourages me to start illegally download music. Also I now want to take illegal drugs, hit animals, and walk on the grass in places where it tells you not to walk on the grass.
