What we’re interested in is simple: how advertising works and what it says about us. I’ve always thought that advertising is an amazing and complex world. It deserves more attention than it usually gets from television, which is the ‘World’s Wackiest Commercials’ approach.” (Please see here for reference) [...] [...] “The Gruen Transfer is not so black and white…It’s not about whether advertising is good or evil.

I had no idea that Pizza Hut had their logo put on rocket. That's a bit ridiculous. <blockquote>EDITOR: you can download the Gruen Transfer at http://www.abc.net.au/tv/gruentransfer/download.htm and watch it on your computer </blockquote> I’d be interested in seeing this show, but of course, it doesn’t air in the United States.

* Wil was really nervous and twitchy, perhaps because the 1st episode was going to air on TV tonight just after the 5th episode was recorded

* Wil really beat himself up saying f**k and f**king many times when he made mistakes

* In a nice bonus Wil’s MMM radio co-host Anthony “Lehmo” Lehmann was the audience warmup guy and he was quite funny

* The set was OK but nothing exciting and strangely the left half of the set with a lounge and coffee table wasn’t used at all.

* Advertising industry experts on the panel included Russel Howcroft who was previously a regular guest on 702 ABC Sydney’s morning radio program and Todd Sampson CEO of Leo Burnett
