CALIFORNIA COMPETITION NEWS!
CALIFORNIA COMPETITION NEWS!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ON A LUXURY TRIP TO CALIFORNIA AND APPEAR IN THEIR TV AD?
If the answer is ‘no’, this isn’t the post for you. If it’s ‘yes’ then BONGO PARTY! I’ve been hired by the Californian Tourist Board to tell people about this competition they’re running so I hope you’ll forgive me if I slip queasily into advertising mode for a while. Yes, I’m being paid but I really think the prize is pretty amazing and I get the feeling it might not be too hard to win if you’re up for filming yourself being charming in an audition video.
Enter the competition and find out more details HERE
Basically they want someone to appear briefly in the Visit California TV ad, you know the one with Rob Lowe looking soulfully out to sea, David Beckham kicking balls on the beach and Arnold Schwarzenegger having a romantic meal, completely free of guns and explosions, with his lovely wife on a terrace somewhere. Here it is here…
I imagine it’s been your dream to appear in one of these ads for almost as long as you can remember. Well now that dream is one step closer to coming true. Even if there’s something wrong with you and you have never dreamt of appearing in a TV ad extolling the virtues of the Golden State, you might be up for the rest of the prize which includes a first class round trip to LA, luxury accommodation, spending money and over the top sounding activities for a week. Here’s a video I’ve made outlining the prize and explaining what you have to do to enter in a bit more detail.
Go on, have a go! Your audition tape has got to be better than some of the stuff they’ve had through so far! Oh lordy. I’ll be posting a few more related vids over the next few weeks to keep the competition pot bubbling. Good luck and a very happy nude year to you!

QUEEN’S SPEECH NEWS!
LORRA LORRA HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
As promised on our radio show, here’s the Queen’s Speech for you with her Maj looking uncannily like Noel Edmonds, in other words about as seasonally correct as it’s possible to be. OK, I’d better get back to my family and pretend I’ve been doing something other than uploading stupid videos during the Big Jesus Party! I hope you’re having a good day, whoever and wherever you are.

STEREOPHONICS NEWS!
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
The big music news story of 2009 was of course the release of the 7th album by one of Britain’s best loved bands, The Stereophonics. The title of their new album Keep Calm and Carry On is taken from a never used World War 2 poster but they’ve given it contemporary twist by photoshopping themselves into a scenario that sees them eating a café style breakfast on a beach which is the kind of zany and surreal unpredictability you’d expect from the Phonicles.
Anyway, they seem to have gone into a post-prandial trance, which has made them indifferent to the fact they’re being overwhelmed by the incoming tide. Now, I don’t know if you know but the world is currently under threat from climate change which was started by Al Gore a few years back so it’s possible that this image is some kind of comment on the human race’s collective folly in ignoring it (Copenhagen? Come on guys!), or it might just be an amusing pic of a band that ran out of luck while eating too close to the sea one day. Who can tell what they were thinking? Well now you have the opportunity to find out:
CHRISTMAS MESSAGES VIDEO NEWS!
CHRISTMAS APOLOGIES TO 4 MUSIC!
Who owned the footage of Lily Allen, Dizzee etc that I used for the Christmas Messages video I posted yesterday and were upset that it had been used without their permission which is why the video has been taken off You Tube. I wish to say that I acted alone in the creation of the Celebrity Messages and no else needs to be executed. Please let me just have Christmas with my family and then you can do what you need to do.
Yours very, very sorry.
