Halifax Advertising Meeting.

Advertising Consultant 1 : To make our adverts cheap but engaging lets use the Halifax staff as a source of cheap actors?
Advertising Consultant 2 : Great idea.
Advertising Consultant 3 : Wait a minute, what if it comes across as amateurish?
Advertising Consultant 1 : Oh yeah. What if we got actors to play Halifax staff?
Advertising Consultant 2 : That's even better.
Advertising Consultant 3 : Hang on the actors wont really be convincing talking about serving customers, branches and accounts.....
Advertising Consultant 1 : I've got it what if we have the actors play Halifax staff running a crap radio station instead of doing banking?
Advertising Consultant 2 : Swish!
Advertising Consultant 3 : I can't see anything wrong with that. Well done.
Advertising Consultant 1 : That's why i earn the big bucks.

This is why all meetings should have a chairperson, a designated note taker and a common sense monitor(or bullshit filter if you would)! To stop this and other stupid ideas from ever leaving a meeting unchallenged.
