Peter and Sam, while I work here, I have to agree with you. For me the Borat ad only rates a 7 out of 10. But, I have to say it did make me smile, though not outright laugh. To the creators: nice try guys, but I know you can do better! dave (I work at realestate.com.au Ltd.)

We know who created this ad. It is a couple of guys who like a laugh. They created a similar one last year on David Hasselhoff. Evidently we are a form of artistic outlet in the web 2.0 world.

I also subsequently received it from 2 other external sources, one from the UK. I agree with you Peter, it's not as funny as Borat himself. But this has generated a lot of traffic to REA, and terrific publicity and interest, both locally and abroad. Oh, and BTW, REA don't have to place an ad that REA is for sale - that already exists and it's called the Australia Stock Exchange! PS. Peter, what has happened with your fonts? Are there more pensioners reading this site or what?!? I got wind of this last Monday from a work colleague (at a stock broking firm).
