Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
It’s going okay! Watched Barbie with my wife yesterday and that was surprisingly hilarious and now at work on morning tea break. Looking forward to going home to play video games!
I’ve got a 6 year old wanting to go to the movies, and Barbie has crossed my mind. But we are a pretty ad-free house. The idea of taking them to see two hours of doll advert just doesn’t sit right with me, even if the movie is highly rated.
Man, I can relate… Although we just watched the latest transformers movie with the kids and there’s a reference right at the end to GI Joe - quote from Mr. 12 was “Gee, product placement much? I guess that’s their next movie franchise” He’s a cynical little bugger, lol, proud dad moment!
Haha yeah, product placement is pretty prevalent in anything. If you see something you recognise, a can of coke, an Apple logo, the characters walk past a McDonald’s; the company paid for it to be there. I notice a huge amount of product placement when I’m looking for it.
