TV Commercial Proves You Don’t Have To Be A Rich Hollywood Actor To Turn Heads With Your Disconcerting Enthusiasm, Just A Scientologist

It’s not often we write about ads we’ve seen on the telly, but last night we were sitting on the couch and casually wasting away our life when a couple of people badly in need of sedatives suddenly began screaming at us about “Trendy Purple Splash Grass TM” and other things we never knew existed .

We were intrigued. Intrigued enough to actually go to the website mentioned at the end of the ad (hellohello.com.au, incidentally – a tribute to the Cat Empire?) to find out about Chris (a shouty man in a tutu) and Marie (telling us to call Chris “a fool”, but either way youse can all go and get stuffed cos he’s tripled plant production during a drought!) and the strange men in boxer shorts dancing around holding pot plants.

Seriously.The ad frightened us a little. You can watch it yourself right here.

Unsurprisingly, the website reveals that Chris and Marie produce their television commercials “in house”.

Chris’ pink tu tu’s and wands have been lovingly made by our staff and our scripts, costuming and movement ideas to a large degree have been dreamed up by Chris (business founder) with the help of his staff to refine these ideas into some of the most kooky & memorable ads! Chris says he’s like an empty ute, on his travels he gathers information & ideas that people tell him and he rolls these in together to create some very humorous and fun ads.

And there we were thinking Spielberg knocked it up for you while he’s been Down Under!

Anyway, our mildly entertaining evening wasting time online with Chris and Marie wouldn’t have been worthy of a blog post except for an ad we noticed appearing on the site, gently and quietly slipping itself between talk of outdoor palms and mosaic lanterns…

Ahhh, Narconon TM – the treatment program which has personally, personally, helped a billion drug users get clean using LRH technology, and fuck any SP who says otherwise! We knew we’d seen excitable passion like Chris and Marie’s before – it makes perfect sense!

Still, with five 5″ pots Blue Fescue Grass going for just $14.90, they can e-meter us all they like. Just give us your sweet, sweet, drought-proof native plants!
