The first interesting “commercial” is my regular annual reminder that my mate Max Hitchins, who has predicted the winner of the Melbourne Cup more times than I have had hot dinners will again assess the field and give you his predictions. It’s helpful when you are making up your mind on your once a year bet for the “Race that stops a nation”. You can find out all about it at www.pickthecupwinner.com.au

By the way, I will also be doing a phantom call of the race on Saturday for a community broadcasting station, so I’ll get my call of the race pasted somewhere at my website and you can discover if I’m any good as a race caller and predictor of the outcome.  Listen to the call here.

The second interesting commercial is appropriate around Halloween and I want you to guess what product this commercial is selling. It’s pretty spooky and it will take a while for you to realise what it’s all about. However, it really is very good and superbly illustrates the power of the household product in use.  See it here
