What the hell is vicroads thinking?
These cheap, tacky ads are a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money. Nobody's going to listen to something that undermines the severity of the message it sends with cheap "humour" (for lack of a better word). The most recent simpsons episode lampooned how these advertising whackjobs consider the teen market demographic:
Flanders: "Welcome to bible study! Today my reading ribbon is smack dab in the middle of Matthew 23! Now let us download the holy tweet of the lord!"
Skinner's mother: "Stop making this relatable!"
Jimbo: "Hey, as a youth, if I don't hear a computer word every couple of sentences, I am out of here!"
Flanders: "Duly noted. But we will make sure not to dilute the sacred gospel."
*Jimbo gets up to leave*
Flanders: "Mousepad! Double click! Skype!"
*Jimbo keeps walking*
Flanders: "Skype!!!"
*Jimbo comes back*
And the sad thing is, that's how most advertisers see our demographic. And it leads to patronising, lumps of turd like that ad campaign. Which just cost taxpayers millions of dollars to produce and air. Ineffective. Trivial.
Not to mention, in one of the ads it says "Every time you use a phone whilst driving, an emo is born". Nice going, you absolute retards at VicRoads. Marginalise a group of people who are already socially rejected, of whom a great deal many have acute depressive tendencies.
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?!?!
-
The "everytime you (insert message here) gingas have sex" one is quite bad imo. Sigh, this is just great, now the government are picking on redheads too...
I suppose due the quality of the adverts they would spread around. However, will the message really sink in? Was it really necessary for so many people to be bagged in what should be quite a serious and important commercial?
-
those adds are a complete joke! they definitely wont work
-
Oh dear. Sad ad.

"Every time a Dickhead designs a crap 30-second spot and some out-of-touch client actually buys it, a Wanker in advertising gets his wings,"

Ahaha, I must've gotten in pretty early.
The whole series didn't quite make sense. They are most probably stemmed from the meme "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten".

Fucking fail, I say.

I hate my State Government.

Wanker may or may not have a sense of humor
Fucking failest shit since myki. Farr whats wrong with our state government
-
WTF!!!
These ads barely have any relation to driving, they just attack minorities.
-
If we didn't have to pay for this then I wouldn't give a shit, but.....
-
Yeah, and also the Facebook one makes the government look totalitarian, which is NOT the attitude you would want young people to have towards you if you were the government.
-
You will just change their attitude's toward alternative sub-cultures and appearances.
Exactly, well said mate.
-
You know... I was thinking... the likes of those who lurk on VN... we're not the demographic being targeted, if you think about it.
We're a pretty smart and studious bunch of people; people who don't wear seat belts... they're idiots.
Clearly, the people who made these ads are idiots as well.
Who knows, but perhaps idiots can appeal to idiots?
I still think the ads are absolutely ridiculous, but just throwing that stray thought out there.

Especially since in 20 years, we'll be running this place.
I yell at my dad coz he throws his beer bottles in the normal trash, "Dad, you're fucking my future up!".
But it's true :S..
Even more especially since in less than a year, the Government CAN block Facebook in a second, in a complete totalitarian way comparative to China...
