    Hey lads cjeck this out i just read it on the walls.ie website if ya have quicktime(which i dont boo hoo) ya can check out the ad on thestunning.net bizarre anyhoozles! The Stunning have ended up in a row with British TV station E4! It started as a drunken party joke and ended up as a TV ad. The Stunning were celebrating the end of the 'Paradise In the Picturehouse' re-union tour at a party where New York comedian Aidan Bishop was in attendance. Someone slapped on 'Brewing Up A Storm' and Aidan wowed the dance floor with his freaky dancing. Someone, somewhere, somehow came up with the notion that they should make a TV ad for The Stunning featuring Aidan dancing. A couple of weeks later, much to everyone's surprise, the shoot went ahead. This was no big budget affair and why should it be reckoned The Stunning, it was all a bit of craic. The Ad was shot on a Saturday afternoon, edited on a laptop on the Sunday and sent off to E4 in London on the Monday. When E4 saw the ad they flipped and were on the phone straight away refusing to show it. 'You have to', pointed out The Stunning, 'We've paid for the airtime!' E4 would only agree to show the ad if The Stunning signed an agreement absolving them from any blame for the ad. See what all the fuss is about yourself at the following times: Tuesday 11/11/03 - 10:45 - The Salon Live Tuesday 11/11/03 - 13:45 - The Salon Live Tuesday 11/11/03 - 18:27 - Celebrity Five Go Dating Tuesday 11/11/03 - 19:45 - Smallville Tuesday 11/11/03 - 21:40 - The West Wing Tuesday 11/11/03 - 25:30 - Smallville Thursday - 13/11/03 - 13:30 - The Salon Live Thursday - 13/11/03 - 18:58 - The Salon Live Thursday - 13/11/03 - 20:57 - Friends Thursday - 13/11/03 - 25:15 - Hollyoaks Friday - 14/11/03 - 15:45 - The Salon Live Friday - 14/11/03 - 16:30 - The Salon Live Friday - 14/11/03 - 23:20 - My Little Friends Saturday - 15/11/03 - 14:58 - The Salon Saturday - 15/11/03 - 22:40 - Joe Millionaire Saturday - 15/11/03 - 24:45 - Star Trek Sunday - 16/11/03 - 14:30 - The Salon Live Sunday - 16/11/03 - 18:45 - The Salon Live Sunday - 16/11/03 - 23:08 - Six Feet Under

    I viewed said advertisment last night. Why did E4 not want to show it then, was just because of the cheap production? I was expecting some crazy piece of film, all I got was some guy dancing around with his shirt off. So, what was all the fuss about then?

    Indeed. Though I think what we're skirting around here is the fact that it is, if I may be so bold, in fact rubbish.
