The dictionary. It is the source of all words and a mighty fine book. I have 3 copies of it and would recommend it to everyone. Now available in many different languages. Just Kiddin' Bosco (On the Jazz)

Depends which one you mean - 1st ad is "Can I help you?" He said. "Nice shoes." I said. "You bet." He said. "How much?" I said. "You can't put a price on the stars." He said. "Talk straight." I said. "Or the moon." He said. "These shoes," he said "are almost like something being said." "Cat sure ain't got your toungue, so say it," I said "as you see it." I said. "I could talk about these shoes forever." He said. "You have." I said "So how much?" I said. "Hundred bucks." He said. "I'll take them." I said. "Too late." He said "Shop's closed." He said. I can't repeat what I said. 2nd Ad is Upon my life, by some device or other The villain is o'er-raught of all my money. They say this town is full of cozenage, As, nimble jugglers that deceive the eye, Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind, Soul-killing witches that deform the body, Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks, And many such-like liberties of sin: If it prove so, I will be gone the sooner. I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave: I greatly fear my money is not safe. which is from A COMEDY OF ERRORS by Shakespeare (its right at the end of Act 1)

the first ad was the one with the pig...the words were "This little piggy went to market. He had a monkey on his shoulder and a skip in his step. On the way he met a matador. You going to market? the matador says. Indeed I am says the pig, where are you going? Home, says the matador, today's a bear market and I'm a bull man. Little piggy skipped on. Soon he found himself being turned over and under by hungry bears. They ate the shirt from his back and turned his monkey into a hill of beans. The moral of this is this: Don't go to market unless you know whos you're dealing with."

I had the same question - it's that first one which really gets to me. Sounds like gibberish but HAS to be something deep and profound . . . surely . . !

There's a new ad now. I'v only seen it once, and that was at the cinema (Goldmember, actually). SLJ was talking about the Evils of money, i cant remember it word for word. Something about "Tap dancing lessons", and "only love of money is evil" etc, etc, the same old stuff.

The ads were created by Bartle Bogle Heggarty ad agency in London and I believe that only the "Comedy of Errors" speech is not original copy. What do you guys think of them?

regdotcom.....i think they are the most annoying adverts i have seen for many years.of course i'm sure other people love them,as proved by their interest on this site
