Why do I need to pay $550 to be told what I already know about Australian comedy, which is - other than The Chaser and few good stand-ups, completely non-existant and sucks beyond belief.
Commercial television is appalling in this country and dumbing us down.
Networks can buy the entire series of Seinfeld from the states for approximately the same price to make a pilot here. Where is the love people? Where is the belief? Where are the passinate cashed-up backers prepared to back a fresh good idea? Nowhere.
There you are, saved you $550 bucks.
ahem *passionate
10:12, maybe you should go along, and fucking learn how to be funny.
if radio is so important how come twatty burton is the radio judge at cannes when he has never ever written a radio ad ...he is a hands off art director.
12:50 PM if YOU were trying to be funny, you weren't.
I don't think 10.12am was talking about learning to be funny you tool and a good point was made.
$550?! Now that's funny.
"So Who the Bloody Hell would go to this?"
I'd rather shove $550 down the pants of a 10 tonne stripper.
radio's a ddead medium. the only reason cannes and d&ad feature them is to make more money off agencies desperate to win awards.
Of course, podcasting is going to kill off commercial radio.
Just like television killed off cinema, the internet killed off television and online commerce has killed off bricks and mortar.
Oh, and clearly magazines are a dead medium because anyone who's interested in specialised topics can learn all they need to know online.
This is clearly bollocks.
1.30am is clearly someone who once got a radio brief and wasn't up to the task of writing something good from it.
Which is, of course, the fault of the medium.
And, by the way, the only reason Cannes and d&ad feature ANY medium is to make money off agencies desperate to win awards.
Did you see how much emap paid for the Cannes show a year or so ago? We're talking 30+million Euro.
