Anti Shark Fin Soup advertise in Singapore

Found this from a scuba diving web as they claim that it is a Singapore advertise on Anti Shark Fin soup on wedding reception.  The graphic is quite terror but it is not less than the truth what’s happen to the shark.  The fact is every year people die more from car accident than shark attack.  I personally blame only one movie “Jaws” that make the shark such a bad creature and not deserve to live.  According to the Sea Shepherd organization:

Over 7,257 tonnes of shark fins are processed each year — and 181,487 tonnes of shark carcasses are discarded at sea. It says 18 species are already listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

“Every year humans slaughter over 100 million sharks yet we depict them as vicious and blood-thirsty killers,” the group asserts. “No more than 12 people a year are killed by sharks worldwide.”

For the photos, I could not find the bigger picture so I don’t know what is the writing on the banner.  If anyone find a bigger photo, please let me know.

"I Still Call Australia Home"

These Qantas advertise series spans several years. I watch the first one when I study over there. After the big success, couple follows. All of them still capture my heart.

Got the story from Duncans.tv The full history of this advertise can be read from here. The song itself was written by Peter Allen which more can find in Wikipedia.

The Qantas campaign, I Still Call Australia Home, is one of the frontrunners for the top Australian television campaigns of all time. Running from 1997 through to 2004, the campaign has linked together Australians living at home with those traveling or living overseas. Beginning with a range of Australian musicians, the campaign has come to be associated with the Australian Girls Choir and National Boys Choir.

James Blundell in Qantas commercialThe campaign began in 1997 with a three-minute commercial featuring trumpeter James Morrison, Kate Ceberano, James Blundell and other popular singers singing Peter Allens song, I still call Australia home. In the background are scenes from around the world and Australia. The shot finishes with a Boeing 747 and the words, QANTAS The Australian Airline.

Lyrics for I Still Call Australia Home

Note that the original lyric has Rio rather than Rome. However Qantas doesnt fly to Rio.

Ive been to cities that never close down
from New York to Rome and old London town,
but no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.

Im always traveling, I love being free,
and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea,
but my heart lies waiting over the foam.
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning round the world,
away from their family and friends,
but as the world gets older and colder,
its good to know where your journey ends.

But someday well all be together once more
when all of the ships come back to the shore.
Then I realise something Ive always known.
I still call Australia home.
