Six Billion Stories and...Puking
May 3rd 2009 03:26
Isn't SBS supposed to be the thinking person's television station? They, with all the documentaries, the world news, the subtitles? So why does their new tagline make me want to punch the nearest wall right after I regurgitate my breakfast?
Ok, so it's not so new, I know they adopted the "six billion stories and counting" mantra some time last year but the passing of time has done nothing to endear it to me. Nor do I find it even slightly less annoying. Six billion stories and counting? Isn't that a little (too) familiar? I mean, what is this, McTelevision? Would you like fries with your world movie of the week? How about a vanilla milkshake to wash down your expose on the illegal intelligence tactics of the Bush Administration? A choc sundae to round off your...okay you get the picture.
Why hasn't anybody told the Special Broadcasting Service that McDonald's thought of it first? Over six billion served! Six billion stories and counting! Ha! Who pays these people?

I actually like the SBS 'Six Billion Stories and Counting' ad... Maybe it's because I'm such a junk food addict?
