Another missed opportunity

After my earlier blog, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's given me kind words and support. It's much appreciated.

By way of thanks, I'd like to share this with you, which I found when I was getting today's advent calendar sorted:

Want to star in our next TV ad?



Well this could be your chance

We're on the lookout to find 10 of the UK's most talented TV hopefuls to star in our next high profile television advertising campaign for our market leading mobile phone recycling website.

The new advert will follow hot on the heels of our extremely successful campaign across dozens of terrestrial and digital television channels as well as online. The advert aired during the hugely popular Big Brother slot on Channel 4 and X-Factor on ITV1, became an overnight success and received an amazing response on YouTube and Twitter.

Ever dreamt of appearing in millions of homes on primetime TV?

This advert was big, but the next one will be even bigger! So, if you fancy being catapulted to instant fame, this is your chance to battle it out for a role in this fast-paced advertising campaign which will go on air early next year. You never know, with this level of visibility and recognition, it could be the start of a fabulous career in TV.

So how do you enter?

Simple — all you need to do is upload a 3 minute vid-cast showcasing your acting talents, character and green credentials. Our team of talent spotters will then whittle down the entries to just 30 people for the final auditions to be held in London later this year. The final 10 winners from the auditions will then be invited back to our production studios in London for filming! Closing dates for entries is 31st October 2009, so get your video entries in fast. Auditions will take place in November and filming is expected to commence in early December.

Not that interested in appearing on screen, but would still like to play a part? We're also interested in hearing from aspiring musicians, bands or producers who want to have a crack at creating the music to accompany the advert. If you think you can make music that will work in a high profile TV advert, please email your music files to music@envirofone.com.

Terms and conditions apply.

I'm sorry to say that I'm too late to enter, so you'll have to wait the next time they decide to make an advert.

Does anyone have confused.com's casting agent's phone number?

(Incidentally, that long-haired twat on the old adverts for confused.com has a Wikipedia page about him, which names his influence as Russell Brand. For fuck's sake.)
