lol who the hell uses pdfs on a modern website apart from the government?
...and lime green? I think I just broke my monitor...or maybe it's my eyes, but is that orange trailback thing supposed to happen?

Glanced through some cast pics while I was there; I'm afraid it's not boding well for attracting my viewership based on the cast and a skim read of the synopsis...

Please don't mock the website!!! I know the guy who did it, and he didn't have much time or creative freedom to do a sh*t hot one. Possibly creating websites is not that difficult so therefore it is crap but since I know zilch about it, I think it's quite impressive for one afternoon's work! But for the record I agree about the PDFs - hate them with a passion on websites.

Time may be a considered factor in the level of crapness, but creative freedom isn't; if you're tasked with creating something, especially on an individual level, then it's all down to you...and the end result is either crap or it isn't, no matter how long it took to actually make, the creation process shouldn't take more than a few minutes inside your mind....physically turning that into code and getting it all functional takes the time, but these days there are editors for that.

With the exception of the pdfs the site seems to function as you'd expect, but artistically, it's off (IMO)....loud colours and fonts may well be eye catching on a poster, but put them on a monitor and they tend to repel the eye somewhat....not what you want from a promotional website.
I don't know my way past much but simple HTML and without templates I doubt I could do much better from a functional POV... but colours, font and format wise, it looks like someone poured alphabetti spaghetti into a bowl of lime jelly: garish and minimalist isn't a good combo.
It also bears a remarkable resemblance to the menu screens on the Shameless DVDs but that is perhaps understandable.

Good luck with the TV thing anyhow, oh and welcome to boards; not everyone on here's as much of a cranky critic as me, so don't let that put you off...

I likes fás girl........

But there's just something about vodafone girl.

Are you important?

afatbollix

i think this is on tonight

Wertz

'Tis on now...throwing a cursory glance in it's direction. More at 11.

Wertz

Hmmm, better than I was expecting...got some laughs out of it anyhow; a tad predictable but not in a bad way.
I'm sure there'll be a thread about it in the TV forum so I'll leave it at that in this thread...

Jackz

This was junk btw.

Agamemnon

Was FÁS Girl on tonight's episode?

Wertz

Far be it from me to be on topic but I think she was the stripper/flatmate. Could be wrong though, since I don't have a life sized poster on my bedroom wall to compare her to...

No it wasn't

You can make money selling junk at a junk sale.

ok maybe somewhat predictable but isn't every pilot a little rough around the edges?
I say it was funny (although I am biased) - lets be a little different and give the guys a chance ... well at least until the second episode! Fair enough if then you all think that's completely sh*t then...

Wertz

Unless you have a particularly thick skin, I think you'd do well to avoid the dedicated thread in Television...I'm afraid a slating is the general consensus over there.
I'll watch the second ep, I was always going to...I'm one of the minority that found some of tonight's somewhat funny.

Fanny Cradock

I just happened to be watching the ads on RTE2 a few moments ago and something struck me. Apparently Boards.ie is now so popular - a voice of the nation if you will - that the producers RTE's 'hilarious smash hit comedy' The Roaring 20's have decided to cash in on the recent After Hours 'Fas Girl' fad and cast her in their show as 'The Fas Girl'.

Well done to all you After Hours perverts. You are shaping the nation! It does make me wonder what else the opinions of users here has influenced.

AlmightyCushion

They should really pay boards royalties for using that name.

ejmaztec

Perhaps they'll now get rid of Pat Kenny and give us our licence money back, if they really want to go with the flow!

Up the proletareate:D

Yeah I saw that advert as well. She said the word condoms. Nyom Nyom I'll be watching.

I wont after seeing the first episode.

AARRRGH

Somehow I think the fact that -

1. She's in the Fas advert

- is probably why she's known as "The Fas Girl".

After Hours is unlikely the reason...

Sorry

Dudess

Merged with previous super-long thread about same. Fanny Cradock, where have you BEEN?!

You are almost certainly incorrect, one of the creators of the show posted in this very thread prior to the show appearing on air. And then a number of people connected with the show posted in another thread in Television where most said that the show sucked.

Wertz

The subject that just keeps on giving.

I agree with Fanny Cradock...many people may have seen her on the billboards and bus shelters, but it was the in-depth discussion, links to pics/bebos/whatever and a mile long thread with "FÁS girl" in the title that gave her that name as far as I can see. The fact that RTÉ used it in a promo is gas...especially since the forums that likely titled her then turn around and rip the show to bits (for the most part).
This on now BTW if anyone is still unsure as to what all the fuss is...

Really? OK. I accept After Hours may indeed be part of it.

I tend to give AH a miss these days. I hear there is a new power hungry mod on the loose throwing her weight around. More animal than woman I'm told.

Dudess

That would be her prowess in the sack apparently.

monkeyfudge

I saw this earlier...

I really didn't think it was humanly possible to act that badly.... but I guess it is..

Almost makes me miss the Big Bow Wow... almost...

Dudess

Is the acting worse than in Fair City?
