Default Turntables at Superfi

If you go on to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and search for a title
thus:

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=sex...+rock+and+roll

You will see an animated advertisement at the upper righthandside of the
page. There are various advertisers: one of them is the big online hifi
dealer Superfi.

The Superfi advert takes the form of 4 small pictures of hifi equipment
at a time, one of which enlarges before the whole thing shugs sideways to
a fresh batch. I was quite surprised to see how many turntables are
advertised and what percentage of the advert's screen time they take up -
occasionally all four pictures are turntables and frequently three of
them are. It is rare that at least one turntable isn't being displayed.

Try the link - refresh the page until you get the Superfi advert.

What is this telling us?



The issue of turntables and "specialist" audio retailers is
summed up in this clip.

The funny side of that clip wore off pretty quickly - my God we watched some
crap back in those days!

(It's still crap - maybe even worse, the difference is I don't watch it any
more! :-)
