There’s more to.. deconstructing idents

I’ve just finished catching up on the last two episodes of The Chaser’s War on Everything, and thought this was really well done. Its just a mock directors commentary to one of the new ABC idents, its kind of similar to what Dead Ringers do in between sketches with BBC idents, but still cool, and its nice to know that we are not the only people who notice when idents change.

And I’m back

I’m back in Australia, the trip was awesome, I didn’t get to capture any international idents, Ireland was interesting, their RTE Two looks a lot like FOX8 (but green). Ireland and Bahrain both had Paramount comedy channels which I hadn’t seen before, and I got to watch BBC Prime in Manama (pictured) which was interesting (even if there wasn’t that much I really wanted to watch on it).

God, we have fun.

“God, we have fun”, that was a line from the opening scene of this weeks episode of The Simpsons. I thought it was an appropriate line, nicely reflexive and retrospective and timed perfectly for The Simpson’s Movie trailer.

My love of the Simpsons is pretty well documented, so I couldn’t not post this.

I leave the comfort of my Arlington wifi tomorrow so probably won’t bug you with Simpsons crap for a few days.

Marge Simpson: Dove spokeswoman.

I was in a Rite-Aid today and took this picture, I don’t know why it seems so cool, I just love that Dove got Marge Simpsons (a cartoon character!) to sell their hair styling products.. she’s never looked better by the way.
