Thumbs up Domino's to Sponsor Lowndes

In todays Courier Mail, Lowndes has signed a deal with Domino's, Triple 8 will run driver courses for Domino's driver. Puts a whole new spin "We are the pizza delivery experts"

Its a cross promotional deal. He will teach them how to deliver faster, and they will teach him how to make his television appearances more cheesy e ...........ok that was a bad one.

New Domino’s ad idea!

Open with Craig blasting around Bathurst
Cut to Pizza sizzling as it cooks in the oven
More of Craig driving hard
Pizza being cut into pieces in the box.. cheese strings clearly visable
Car pulls into the pits
Shot from inside the pit garage as Craig walks in carrying a Pizza in the box smiling his head off

Voice overlay:
“And you thought our Pizza’s were cheesy.. check out the grin on this guy!”

Craig stops smiling


End.

Thank God for that. They are the most disgusting pizzas around, in fact you’d be better off eating the box, it would taste better and have more nutritional value : : : : :

I agree. Domino's opened a shop close to me last year. A bought a pizza not long after that to see what are they like. Never again. Was the most disgusting pizza I ate. I wouldn't classify it as food - stomach filler is a more appropriate category.

See and your pizza probably waited 5 - 10 minutes in the shop before getting a driver ready and on his way.

If you had driven to pick it up yourself you would have had it quicker, cheaper and hotter. :

The Dominos that I went to was in Victoria Road, Largs North. When I was held over at the Adelaide depot it was about the only place around the area. Three times was enough. I don’t care how hungry I am, I will never go back to that Dominos.

Cheers, Danny
