Grey’s TAC tactical ad catches Pietersen out

A topical press ad for TAC from Grey Melbourne that appeared the day after English cricketer Kevin Pietersen was caught by Victorian police for speeding. The hero of the Adelaide Test was in town after hitting his career best score.

Looks like a dated ad from the 80s.
First Booker, now Dawson. What is it with these really old guys doing topical ads?
The ad says to me, “go speeding, it’s fun and you will only cop a small fine!”
See below;
The English batsman – fresh from a man-of-the-match performance in the second Ashes Test in Adelaide – was nabbed by a police officer using a laser speed detector.
The 30-year-old was allegedly travelling at 121km/h in a 110km/h zone on the Geelong Ring Rd at 2.35pm, despite earlier vowing to the Herald Sun that he would make sure he didn’t breach any of Victoria’s strict road laws.
He said he was aware of the the trouble English Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton got himself into in Melbourne.
“I won’t be doing any burnouts,” he said.
But instead Pietersen was hit with a $239 fine and lost three demerit points.
Because, 12:27 you juniors can’t, won’t and don’t. A topical ad gets a lot more traction because it’s of-the-moment, which makes it INTERESTING.
It looks like an 80’s ad because it has an idea.
As if we don’t already know the TAC are jerks on a mission.
So this is what our taxes go on?
5.23 & 5.26 Well said to you both.
Well done to the team for getting a topical ad out – it’s a hard road, In all the years I’ve been trying I think I’ve managed to actually get one of them through.
Kevin Pietersen was only doing what is lawful in England, in his native South Africa, in Canada and many European countries in a car designed to be safe. What is the big deal?
Clever as an idea but completely misses the point.
