Melbourne Cup advertising

My friends overseas find it hard to believe we get a public holiday for a horse race in Melbourne.

But we do. So there!

Anyway I was flicking through my morning paper yesterday hoping to come across a topical ad or two.

Sadly this was the only one I saw.

It's a full page colour ad for Carsguide. An online car sales website.

No idea what the point of this ad is. I really don't

Piss weak pun. Dozens of little coloured horses.

A complete waste of money.
