Slog - Comments on Colour http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/colour Yeah, it's just a commercial for a television that I'll never be able to afford, but it's really cool! Watch it. Our latest TV ad - featuring massive paint explosions - took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people. The effect was stunning, but afterwards a major clean-up operation was required to clear away all that paint! The cleaning took 5 days and 60 people. Thankfully, the use of a special water-based paint made it easy...

And it's a pleasure to see that commercial again in any event. Too bad I can't afford a TV like that either.

Yes Meg, a bunch paint all over the place is cool for the environment, especially cleaning it up. Ever cooler is that they did it to wow people into selling televisions. It worked on you, even if you can't afford it. This just furthers my belief that you are not a critical thinker enough to write for anything except a journal.
