as i was flipping through Life this morning, I chanced upon the most hilarious ad.

It was for Theatreworks' 24-hour playwriting competition, where entrants are holed up for 24 hours in places like Bintan and Ikea (if i remember right) and must finish a play at the end of it.

The ad's copy was astounding with its wit and sarcasm.

""Your inspiration: the fascinating newspaper environment of SPH's headquarters in Toa Payoh and it's ever-changing facet.''

iTunes is currently playing Kings of Leon's Four Kicks from their album Aha Shake Heartbreak cos on a day like this, you just need four boys from Memphis to cheer you up with lyrics like this:

Huffman don't take no nonsense
He's here to rectify
He's got his black belt buckle,
And the red man's fire in his eye

You with your switchblade posse,
I'll get my guns from the south,
We'll take to the yard like a cock fight
Four kicks who's strutting now?

This party is overrated,
But there aint shit else to do
She's a lovin' on a boy from the city,
I'll be lovin' him under my shoe
