Facebook has over-taken that bastion of Britishness, the currant bun (for those across the pond, cockney rhyming slang for the Sun). Impressive growth for the social media network versus sport, boobs and er, more boobs. So, plus ca change? What would be more interesting is to extrapolate this out to users AND readers ofContinueContinue reading “page 3 girl gets poked”

bag full of accessories
I just read a Forrester report on how Sony & BT have teamed up for a project to make the PSP a true communications device. Intended to be targeted at the millenials (those born after 1980 and thus deprived of an education in Bowie) who will naturally gravitate from wireless gaming to using theContinueContinue reading “bag full of accessories”
a splendid riposte
“Your explanation is, to me, a pompous word salad bereft of meaning.” Surely English is the only language to create such gems (no lettuce pun intended)? This was in reponse to the Guardian changing their homepage to look like, well, most other newspaper homepages these days. It’s a very long way down to the bottom.ContinueContinue reading “a splendid riposte”
crap meeting equipment
Yesterday I had a surprise creds meeting, which is always a treat. But I found myself distracted and embarrassed for the entire duration by the makeshift projector set up. Normally we have nice, ceiling-mounted beamers but it had gone kaput (again). In it’s place sat a replacement projector atop couple of reams of paperContinueContinue reading “crap meeting equipment”
teutonic launch scuppered
A new poster has gone up in Euston underground for Germany Tourism with Owen “I like sweatbands” Hargreaves replacing Sir Geoff Hurst. Unfortunately for the normally efficient Teutonic tourist board, Hargreaves has clearly had enough of the delights of the Rhine and the Bundesliga and wants to play in rainy Manchester. Even Germany’s lastContinueContinue reading “teutonic launch scuppered”
a local finnish brand
Insightful interview from McKinsey with the SVP marketing of Nokia. You’ll need to register to get the full article but some food for thought, here’s his response to how media is changing Nokia’s marketing efforts. “The Internet is playing a much more important role than anyone ever imagined. Brands are going to be made andContinueContinue reading “a local finnish brand”
very wrong
Marry Jodie Marsh? And have the whole thing captured on the small screen for MTV? The date is already booked for the lucky/insane fella. Wrong, wrong, wrong. On so many levels. Caitlin Moran’s introduction of Jodie marsh to readers of the Times is very amusing though. I just can’t imagine what sort of aContinueContinue reading “very wrong”
links for 21.05
I find this very disturbing Teen episode based online soap opera, Prom Queen. Apparently they’re more than willing – whatever that means. Anyway, friends = views on my space. American Airlines have launched a site especially for women travellers based on extensive research where they can “connect with each other and American.” Blah. IContinueContinue reading “links for 21.05”
socially (ir)responsbile advertising | part 3a
Well, I decided to nominate Oldthumper Carlberg to see what would happen. And like all good response advertising, I got a response within the timeframe they said! Woo hoo! It appears Tania has so many requests for blow jobs she just can’t cope. So she sent her assistant to help. Here’s the video they sentContinueContinue reading “socially (ir)responsbile advertising | part 3a”
socially (ir)responsible advertising | part 3
The NEE political party in Belgium has come up with a novel way of securing votes. It started out as a parody of other parties promising votes and escalated to the party leader, Tania Derveaux offering 40,000 blow jobs either in person or in second life. Shall I sign up on behalf of Oldthumper CarlbergContinueContinue reading “socially (ir)responsible advertising | part 3”
