Tricky Business - a review of the ad, not the show.
Dear Channel 9,
Wow! This show looks amazingly shit. You have really outdone yourselves!
Muster up all your imaginative powers and think of a modern, successful show. Just for example, I'll go with Breaking Bad. The catch is a cancer ridden high school teacher starts cooking meth to pay his hospital bills. Awesome right?
What exactly is the catch of this 'Tricky Business' series? A 'disfunctional' family? Shit.
A couple that break up a lot? A daughter that wants attention? This is 2012 you fuckheads, these 'catches' are not even close to being interesting. How old are you writers, ninety?
ALSO the ambiguous name 'Tricky Business' isn't fooling anyone (well its probably fooling most people but fuck you anyway). You come up with these shitty non-specific names, because you know you have made a terrible show and by using a non specific name (as opposed to the name of a character, or family, or something that would make the show look retarded-even for Australian standards- if they changed it completely - like The Simpsons not having the Simpsons in it anymore) you can kill off all your terrible characters and themes when the audience starts telling you how shit you are or an aboriginal gets offended.
Like all great essays (hah) I shall finish in a quote, from the late and great Bill Hicks.
Yes replace marketing/advertising dicks with 'creators of 'Tricky Business'' and you get the message. Because when it comes down to it, you are just marketing scumbags, not writers/directors/artists/mimes. You have made another polluting, lowest common denominator product that you will chop and change and huck to the dumbest bidder. Eat a massive dick.
