Cultural Adventurer

By Nelson

Thanks to Steven for providing me with this post, along with a title for it. Edited down because the rest is even less interesting.

UK advertising is great. As a Brit expat who has lived in SE Asia for over 30 years it is wonderful to holiday in UK and watch the huge scope, breadth and variety of Brit adverts. [...]
Mike Bruce, Singapore

Perhaps this is why all the HYS cretins have yet to fulfil their promise to shit off to another country, despite their constant bleating about being “forced to leave”. Or maybe it’s because they’re too fucking fat.

    Is it wrong to assume that any correspondent who is an expat Brit in SE Asia is a monstrous kiddy fiddler?

    Is it?

    He returns for holidays adverts and a go ‘in the cellar’

    I bet that ex-pat hates living amongst all those bloody foreigners who just REFUSE to speak the language and *won’t* integrate.

    Does his statement ‘for my crimes in life I did four years in Australia where the ads (and music) are dreadful’ mean that he was deported, or is he just being amusing? At least he has his priorities straight, as far as Australia’s sub-standard entertainment media are concerned.

    I can just imagine a ‘TV Star’ who lived in SE Asia, Sir Gary of Glitter.

    I’m pretty sure that advert diversity isn’t always helpful, especially when you’re advertising pampers, or child prostitution

    Unrelated but on the london mayor thread i just read this jawdropper. Presumably by WW11 she means world war II, unless 9 more have passed me by.

    “London’s legacy from Blair was two disasters worse than WW11. One is the Olympics. The other is Livingstone.” Rebecca Goldsmith

    A waste-of-money sports tournament with a shit logo and no-doubt major transport problems…worse disaster than a war with fuck knows how many soldiers and civilians killed, numerous countries under occupation, the blitz and its counterpart in Germany, and a holocaust. Rebecca you cunt.

    I live in Singapore too and, oddly enough, were I to compile a list of stuff I didn’t like out here, “the adverts on the telly” would probably not feature very high. So here’s my list for comparison’s sake.

    Things I don’t about Singapore.
    1. Mike Bruce.
    2. Mike Bruce’s family.
    3. Mike Bruce’s pets.
    4. Cunts like Mike Bruce.

    I’ve been to the future. WW11 is not that bad actually. When it comes down to it it’s only going to involve a dozen pissed blokes shoving each other on a beach…

    I admire Mike Bruce’s sense of adventure. I mean, it’s difficult enough to get Spaniards to understand “EGG – CHIPS – TWO BEERS” so I can’t imagine how loud and slow he has to talk to Singaporeans.
