VSO Ireland (Voluntry Service Overseas):
It's a big, bright, over the top 90's style infomercial parody that sells VSO like it's a product. VSO are looking for teachers to go out to countries like Guyana, Ghana, Nepal, China, Mongolia, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea (to name a few) to train up local teachers so we're trying to get the ad out to as many people as we can. So I thought I'd send it your way as you always have interesting ads up on your blog and I thought you might dig this, it's pretty funny!

I know the faux-infomercial thing is a little played out at this point - but this is well done. Splendid acting!

It's good, but it's a bit too long.
What hath God wrought
nice try, but too long and boring
cult!
wow. infomercial is kinda tough thing - it is not easy to keep up interest by telling benefits.
and I want to oppose about "boring".
Imagine that you are a teacher and this is really cool opportunity.
No boring at all. Because usually such kind of advertising comes in form of cluttered layouts, big load of copy and stuff.. that is really boring.
