Appliances find better work in job-site spots
Household appliances like toasters, vacuum cleaners and alarm clocks have career-advancement aspirations in this odd campaign by VCCP for U.K. site Totaljobs.com. One of the vacuums speaks French and gets hired as a chef. Would you want it tossing your salad, knowing where its attachments have been? And why are these objects so dissatisfied with their lot? They get to work at home and shoot the shit all day. These ads got me thinking about my own career prospects, which are slim at the moment. AdFreak recently hired a lamp as my supervisor, and he's a real dim bulb. See two more spots after the jump.
