Did anyone else watch Spartacus "Gods of the Arena" on Sky 1 the other night?

If so, did you notice the sponsors catch phrase..

Dungeon Siege
Sponsors of Spartacus
"Together, we are stronger"

Shame we couldn't have claimed copyright on that phrase

No, im Spartacus

In the Wakefield version of the movie we all simultaneously stand up and point at Ted and say "He's Spartacus".

no, we don't want to do that. Spartacus triumphs and overthrows the powers that be so to speak.
We need to stand up and point at Ted and shout "oi, get off my land"

Well strictly speaking Spartacus lead an uprising that although inspirational to many as the slaves he lead tasted more freedom than they would have done before the uprising, it still ended with all his army being slaughtered, most on the battlefield but the last 6000 or so crucified. The Romans certainly lasted about another 500 years after that and slavery continued for another couple of centuries.

But I take your point. Don't think Ted can be seen as an inspirational leader.

I posted exactly the same thing on the tv ad thread last night; I reckon we should contact the manufacturers of that game (Square Enix) and make a cheeky offer for some partnership work - they've already aligned themselves with Spartacus, and it doesn't get much more gladiatorial than RL, so not a bad fit. Get a few players dressed up, release some lions, kill a few Christians - bob's your marketing manager!

Couldn't have put it better myself, but for the purpose of ease I was putting it simply and to clarify your final point, it was more about Ted not being a great leader

Love the idea though of linking with the games company

Although very much doubt that they would eb interested in linking with us ( stranger things have happened though ) One for the marketing department as you say though.

I've seen a lot of threads locked for not being Trinity linked but this beats the lot!!!Please lock this drivel Mods!

Cynicism is the opposite of creativity and you're a great big spoilsport.

So the wife tells me!

That was "watersport" not spoilsport!!

Only resemblance between Ted R and Spart acus is he should be crucified.

Can I ask why this is not Trinity related?
It links to our moto.
It has generated a possible marketing idea
It has created interest albeit in a fun and tongue in cheek way.
I suggest that if you don't like it, you don't either a) read it of b) post on it.

I look forward to your words of wisdom surrounding possible marketing ideas.

Its borderline but that bit sneaks it, just

Phew. That was lucky.




Not so sure the person who posted this though on another thread may be that lucky ( Then again, his sons leg whilst very bad for the lad and great news that he has healed enough to have the pot removed has =#FF0000[u"lots"[/u of relevance to the Wildcats )

Thanks BIGAL,saved me explaining!
