Ok... Day 4

Feeling good... ready to take on the Blogging World...

Firstly... Team America - hilarious... went to a preview screening last night and laughed so loud and so often I embarassed the people I was with... that's me, always a winner in social situations...

Anyway, tonight what is exercising my mind is "The Race against Waste"...

For my international readers... (hell, if I have readers at all, its a shock, frankly - never mind fancy foreign visitors...)

As I was saying... here in Ireland we have (about ten years after the rest of the world) woken up to the idea of recycling most of our crap instead of burying it in a landfill or burning it. Woohoo. Isn't Ireland great, etc...

But, the ad campaign for what is called "The Race against Waste" hilariously is a Cross Border effort - part of the complicated new politics of peace - so, there is a "celebrity" from Northern Ireland... and a "celebrity" from Southern Ireland...

They star in what may be one of the worst set of commercials of all time...

That is not the point however...

In a campaign which is titled "Race against Waste" Ireland, North and South appear to have selected two of the least healthy, unecologically friendly people you could imagine...

A dumpy, middle aged (i'm being kind) woman from the North who's claim to fame is starring in what is officially the World's Least Funny Sitcom and some fat gardener who is "Famous in England". Let's just say if it really is a Race against Waste - We are Fucked...

Why we couldn't have selected any of our drugged up athletes - or Ireland's Only Formula One Driver Eddie Irvine (who, frankly, is not that busy) - I do not know..

In short - our waste campaign - is garbage
