Take a bow, Eircom!

I saw this in today's paper and it was just begging to be altered in some way. So I scanned it and went to town on it with Paint Shop Pro.

Here's the "before" picture:



And here it is after the PSP treatment:

(sorry, the IMG thing wouldn't work for me!)

Yes Eircom, take a bow because you're doing a great job of ripping us off!

and the finished product is ...........

Shouldn't the mouse be facing the other way, and the text say "Take it up the butt, Ireland"?

heh

Shouldn't the mouse be .. um .... diong something whilst he's down there, like the self-gratifying company that he represents??

The artist formerly known as Prince (symbol) springs to mind

Are their no other phone companies or ISP in Ireland? That you could use rather then Eircom. Esat, IOL, Ocean etc.

By the way, although this is all very funny - yes, I contributed to it, I'm just as bad, neah neah neah - it doesn't belong here, it should be in Humour.

No, no, I don't mean it in the eircom mouse sort of way, Gordon! :eek:

I don't drive on that side of the road/butter my toast on that side/lick that side of the stamp, etc. etc.

Have any of you noticed that eircom's advertising on unison now uses those ads that travel around your screen. Just saw this this morning on unison. While I was reading the news that fcuking mouse starting moving all over the text on the screen. Now they're starting to really pi$$ me off

Hmm, image didnt appear, try here

aidan_dunne

Yeah lynchie, it's almost a case of the Eircom mouse stalking your mouse cursor, following it around everywhere like that. And as for "you need i-stream", well they can shove that notion right up their ar$es. I don't need i-stream whatsoever. I can gladly live without it. What I do need is a 24/7 flat-rate 56K dial-up service. "You need i-stream", indeed! Another attempt by eircom to try and brainwash the poor, unsuspecting punter into buying something they probably don't really need.

Here's an idea, though. As I said, the Eircom mouse seems to be "stalking" our mice around the screen in these ads. I wonder if we could ask the guards to arrest him for stalking our mice? Can you just imagine the big, furry ba$tard up in court on a stalking charge? Now that would be something to see!

Hmm... If we NEED I-Stream, why are they taking so long to get it here?

Heh... On writing this post, I noticed i saw an Eircom ad for the fourth time... I feel as sick as a parrot, and I feel like setting a big huge mousetrap to boot.
