AJ's Blog: The Interactive Experience


This isn't an orthodox post (but, then again, I'm not a very orthodox person). Instead of the usual, here's an example of crazy New Zealand commercials. The below-linked ad for Cadbury runs about ten times a night:

Here's a video of the Jaffa race on Baldwin Street:

And finally, a taste of what my birthday weekend (coincidentally the culmination of the Undie 500, which I suggest you Wikipedia) will be offering riot-wise. It happens every year:

Also, for those of you with Facebook, I've posted some fairly mundane photos that give a general idea of the geography of my whereabouts. Above was a taste.

The gorilla ad is just plain awesome. I think that I would watch their tv just to see it. It just makes me want to eat chocolate. HA! It did make me wonder about a NZders taste in music.

Yeah, there are definitely funnier ones, but it is really, really strange that NZ's broadcasting company (singular) woud be willing to halt everything for 1.5 minutes to let a gorilla play the drums.

I couldn't get the second link to work.

Crazy riots though. I especially love the crowd control tactics of a Police vs. Crowd game of Red Rover, Red Rover.
