They write their own ads. We called it..."Clients who write their own ads", you can see it everywhere, but Real Estate is one of the best, Auckland Glass were good, so was the paint stripper guy, the mad butcher (brilliant name for CJD times). The horror of realtor ads is you get to pay big bucks for something that you're real estate agent writes and photographs, plus they have a bulk rate for the media placement and charge you way extra on top.

In the good old days they sent the poor, who had to provide their own weapons (ploughshares anyone), own food, own pay (you'll get your reward in heaven boys!) and face off against rich bastardos with horses, armour and longer stabby things - plus everyone knows the rich are closer to God and the royals, well, God And My Right, you know.

Thanks Stephen and Heather you have destroyed the thin veneer.
Head explodes.
Footnote, when I worked in advertising (long sigh of futility), we used the BNF (babies need food) principle (the only one we had really) to filter client product lies, I mean puffery, for example, Rinso Cleans!
Well one would hope, BNF. It also applies to newsreaders and politicians. Try it, it's a devastating drinking game.television news is a soap opera that serves to reinforce the viewers' understanding of the world
I knew but I didn't want to know, you know.

The old Network! Promos, the silly voice-overs..."and next we see why babies need food and where belly button fluff comes from, only on TV Chew.
30 minute show,
15 minutes actual show
8 minutes ads

There was a Pope who did that, they get a taste for it. Most wars (the rich one's) these days are about dropping private ordinance on public civilians in another country around election time, pretty refined really. A big ticket circus that's hard to break into, though the photo ops, my goodness, if you can get a shot of yourself on deck of an aircraft carrier in a jump suit looking like you just flew the mission with a Victory! flag behind you, everyone's clapping, except the bodies.

Plus, he is Chi of Mt Maunganui (that rolls), my own birthplace, I will follow his strangely carbonated ways and interesting link to the Virgin Knight, Sir Cliff.

It is the work of the evil Brujo, Juan Mateus.

But Agent Riddley, need i remind you, you can't command me! I am Merc! 80% of the populace, if they knew me would agree.
Anyhoo, as for pod racers, Don Juan explained warp speed travel using The Second Attention and Stopping The World, any Nagual worth his secret spot knows this. -
Agent Chi, you forgot, you are The One. And you can't argue with Chuck, he is related to Chuck Taylor, the dude with all the sole.
