My brudder's goin on a jurneee....

One quick question.....has anyone seen the Visa advertisement where Richard Gere was at a market and decided to buy an insanely amount of birds for this small girl?

Ok....bad question....half the friggin world has seen it. Its been playing in cinemas and MRT stations like there's no tomorrow.

Anyway, it was kinda endearin isnt it? This small girl comes running along and decided to buy some pigeons to wish safe journey for her brother; and in the end was only dissapointed that she only had money for one pigeon. And the came along this good samaritan and bought nearly every friggin bird, peacock, ostrich, chicken and duck in sight. Bloody show-off.

Still, my point is.....its a scam. Everyone in the scene is working to cheat the rich-blur american celebrity. Everything's a ploy from the moment the small girl bumped into Richard Gere. And the myth about releasing birds for good luck?

One Big Lie. "More birds. More Luck." MY FOOT. But of course da American tourist believes anything.

The small girl's in it. The tour guide's in it. The so-called bird seller's in it....the one who conveniently has a friggin credit card swipe machine!!! In a market!!!! (see what I mean about the blur tourist?)

What you don't see later is that you will realise that the tour guide and the bird-seller are brothers and they will be paying a nice commision to the small girl everytime she manages to fool another tourist....

So in proper tradition...

Bird food: 200 rupees

Small girl's commision: 450 rupees

Brothers acting classes: 50 rupee

Rental of Credit Card swipe machine: 25 rupees/day

Cheating the blur Ang Moh celebrity of US Dollars: PRICELESS

Bring on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
