That was more exciting than any of the generated tripe for news that comes out of the bowels of 7, 9 or 10 these days.

[BozInOz]

that was well done
a bit of dry british wit

[Ozkaban]

That's spot on. Frontline couldn't have done it any better

I remember seeing a 'Truth in Advertising' video a few years back in a similar vein about the production of commercials... Will see if I can dig it out.

Cheers,

It's everything I have complained about for some time; the walking shot, the hand gestures, the pointless visuals. It alluded indirectly to puns. Everything on ABC news, from headlines to visuals has to be based on a pun.
In adverts I was particularly annoyed with - I think it was Colonial state -- where everyone was walking and talking. I thought with the cost of the advert perhaps I was was watching cost cutting, can't afford a chair.
