The commercials in Australia are abysmal. No, really, really, really abysmal. Not 'Lorena's being a drama queen and needs something to blog about' bad ... because I do have lots and lots to blog about. I worked on a horse farm in Goornong for a week. I went on a road trip with four boys down Great Ocean Road. I checked out that 'other city' of Melbourne. But I'm not talking about that right now. Right now, I'm talking about the agony of Australian commercials. For some reason I have yet to figure out, the Aussie mad men play the exact same commercial almost back to back, in the same 5 minute break. And then the following break will have a 'new' bout of ads (I use the word 'new' very loosely... they are ones I've seen 100 times already and I maybe watch TV two hours a week. Maybe). And then these 'new' batch of ads will be repeated, every other commercial until the blessed show returns from the break.

The only commercial that is even remotely interesting is this one. I won't torture you with the standard ads — and don't even get me STARTED on the local news updates that sound like they are forecasting the apocalypse when discussing Sydney traffic — but I'll provide you with my saving grace of advertisements, for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to feel sorry for me. And yes, this is the best they can do.
