The Early Bird Does What With The Worm?

********************************************************************
 For most of us blokes the excitement some people show over the big sales is akin to shopping grand final championship round but two days ago social media and news services around the country were buzzing with interest in the New Year Sales but the interest was in a spelling error that trended as one of the leading New Year’s Sales topics.

Now even though we have been moving house my wife has still been planning when she’ll go to particular sales.  

I guess I should be grateful for that so we can score a bargain and purchase something we need and get it at half the price it would normally sell for.

But the over the top obsession some people display with being a part of the sales day excitement, that is something I think most blokes will just never understand.

Other things I don’t understand is how the Myer stores managed to run an ad campaign with spelling errors in the final copy.

Imagine my surprise when the news this week was more about spelling errors in the  Myer’s sales with their  7 storey promotional posters and some of their in-store material being produced with errors,

Simple things like the word Saturday and the word gets they got wrong.

Apostrophes can be notoriously difficult at the best of times but the Myer poster used the unique spelling of G E T apostrophe S, that’s right, instead of the early bird GETS the worm according to Myer it is Now The Early bird GET’s The Worm.

Do we really want fearful brainwashed children that are afraid of sun, air, soil and water?


Wendy Harmer's column Sunday's Telegraph (page 41) is about the mind rubbish that is brain washing this generation into eating dangerously. ...Feeding them a diet of commercialized fear and brand endorsed foods that put profit over health.

Many children today carry mental burdens of fears like their fear of going out into the sun they think they will get cancer and die if they get a suntan.
(Then they also carry around brand food images and negative fears that have been implanted into their plastic brains to maximise brand loyalty.)

Now I'm not doctor or trained medical practitioner so this is just my opinion but I actually think many of us could do with more sun at times. We need some exposure to the sun to get our vitamin D to keep our bones and immune systems healthy, ironically Vitamin D helps to fight cancers and if we are eating nutrient and antioxidant rich foods that is what keeps us healthy from sun damage.

But our children are being brainwashed by advertisers who want to feed them their profitable products and services and the message they are getting is not about eating nutritious and healthy foods, but a fear campaign for long term impact.
But do we really want our children growing up fearful of carbon dioxide? Of the air? The Sun? Some children won't even get soil on them because of their childhood fears of germs.....Turn It Up, I'm Michael Robinson.
