    So, RTE/TV3/SKY or whatever station you prefer have just given you a 1 minute slot and whatever 1 minute video you give them they will broadcast this multiple times a day as if it were a regular advertisement for the rest of the year. What do you make?

    Id probably make a religious video. A minute of silence to remember Jesus or something like that. You can just imagine the problems it would cause with all the hardcore athiests that would be outraged over it.

    I'd display a video on the atrocities carried out in Palestine by the IDF, with a list of charities people could donate to to help, and companies they could boycott.

    I'd show a presentation of my Knob - how it works and where you can book an appointment with it!

    T&C's Apply

    I'd give a one minute diatribe about the confusion between the roles of church and state.

    I'd argue for their complete seperation and for an amendment to the constitution :)

    I'd probably do a road safety video on the correct use of car lights.
    or one on the future risks associated with resource depletion.

    Plead for a sit down with the Francetti brothers.

    Are you aware at 6 PM every evening there is basically a minute of silence for the Angeles on RTE 1? So you wild and extreme idea, happens every night anyway.

    I think a minute of economics explained would be beneficial. The amount of people in Ireland that are challenged when faced with economic terms is ridiculous.

    Probably because nobody cares.

    I'd take a short video of a fancy lunch to make my life appear that little bit more interesting than it actually is.

    ..or a roundabout lesson.

    Maybe a "don't park at the entrance to Lidl" public service message.

    Yeh, I know. I work with atheists, well Im an atheist myself- Im just not militant about it and spend all my time going on about how much I hate religion and spend my lunchs talking about contradictions in the Bible like the atheists I work it. The lads I work with get bent out of shape over the Angeles and complain that its state sponsored corruption and we are living in a relgiously oppressed country yada yada yada.... if another Angeles where to suddenly appear they'd go absolutely beserk.

    Ah, you're one of the 'I'm atheist but I look down on other atheists and I like to tell others about how cool I am with other people being religious'. Best kind of atheist that....

    Books - I'd advertise books.

    What APR really means and the terror of the mentality that "i only need to pay €50 a month on the debt" doesn't mean its cheap in long run.

    Good idea for a thread.

    I would obviously attempt to use it for money making purposes.

    A male dominatrix service (is there such a thing?) is what I would advertise. I'd be standing in silhouette, dressed all in black leather, including leather mask, leather whip etc and husking voice would say that I was available 24-7 for submissive women that like men who too control and that for a special price, would gladly whip them into oblivion. Then I'd crack my whip and the voice over would say:

    'Just call 1550 DUBLIN DOM now to make an appointment. Special discount on the Trent Treatment special for one week only'.

    Right let me get this straight.

    You create a reasonably good idea for a thread and then use your OP to deliberately troll the thread and announce that if you had free advertising, you'd use it to deliberately troll the nation.

    Sad that.

    I reckon there are more constructive ways to release your inner pent up rage.

    I don't think that it was a deliberate attempt at trolling, just a starter for 10. (a rather sarcastic one at that)
    Just ignore the bait and stick to the original subject, then the "trolling" will be neutered. ;)

    I'd make a one minute anti-littering advert that depicts people who litter as evil paedophile monsters. I ****ing hate littering.

    Ball in a cup, the best toy ever created.

    Oh no, little johnny dropped the ball. But it's okay, because it's attached by a string, phew.


















    Ball in a cup!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    A couple of ideas:

    A one minute video outlining decent behaviour on public transport (don't sit on the outside of the two seats leaving the inner empty when the bus is filling up, don't leave your bag on the seat, don't open the window on freezing cold mornings while you sit there with 3layers of clothes on.)

    One minute explaining how to act at red lights for cyclists. Also throw in a bit about where it's acceptable/not acceptable to cycle.

    One minute of people clotheslining chuggers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,737 ✭✭✭Bepolite


    Changed my mind - I'd put out an ad showing people how to put mobiles on to silent, I'd also introduce the death penatly for anyone that gets more than two texts in a row without putting the thing on silent while holding it in their hand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,329 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I'd have a ad about how great Atheism is. Just to annoy the group of people who are "sick of militant atheists going on about how much they hate religion, atheists think they're so great"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553

    It is an odd one. Theres a sub group of atheists that dont like it when another sub group of atheists feel superior so they make themselves feel they are superior by thinking they are above such things and then announce it to the world about how they arent like those other atheists while spouting the opinion of the majority of atheists who just dont go on about it to seek the approval of others to make themselves feel superior.


    Back on topic, I would have a public PSA which explains how to hold your phone when making a video and how the places which sell phones should make you take a test before they give you one.
    It would start with a person watching x factor on a TV on its side. The person finds this annoying so puts the TV the right way. The person then goes to record a video on their phone and realises that on its side, the phone is a similar shape to the TV.

    What??? I said Id do it for lulz.... its nothing to do with superiority or pent up rage as someone else said.

    Mine would consist of 'outrage of the week'
