During the Olympics we got a VPN so we could watch the Australian coverage on Channel 9. It was nice to hear all the on air personalities constantly asking each other how good everything is(?!) and talking to the sweet Australian athletes and their proud and sun-destroyed parents. I’m not sure where exactly our VPN was pulling the coverage from, but we got so many ads for a business called Shed World.

I have no idea who is responsible for this. But as one of advertising’s best known and most revered journeymen, I can tell you with sincerity that this - this - is what’s all about.
