Follow-up: Laptop crack & NUS Bisad TVC

Below is the next blockbuster.

This is a personality test. Which genre do you think the movie belongs to.

A) Arthouse film

B) Weepy sad story

C) Laugh your heart, lungs, stomach out-comedy

If you chose (A), you can appreciate the crack on my laptop as something stylistic and actually see the beauty of this mistake.

If you chose (B), you are a caring friend who shares the heat from what the crack could possibly burn in my pocket.

If you chose (C), damn. Stop laughing.

Anyway, there was something that brought a smile to me. In my "Picks & Puis" I commented on how inappropriate NUS Bisad's TVC was. In ths week's 8 Days, the following was printed in their Boos & Bravos column by Florence Fong & Dionne Kho on what's bad and good on television.

"BOO to the strangely out-of-place setting of the NUS Business School ad. Opening with the manicured lawns of white-picket-fenced suburbia, the ad portrays the unrestrained joy a Caucasian teenager shares with her mum at her acceptance into the institution. Are we supposed to think that it's a better school because white students think the world of it? If, on the other hand, NUS intended to trumpet its international appeal, surely there are less kitschy ways of getting the message across."

I'm glad I'm not alone on this.

Anyone broke their laptop screens too?
