Cilit Bang, and evil marketing

An entirely grotesque example of hand-crafted comment spam/viral marketing, and a great article by the victim. I simply do not share his belief that the people involved were naive, I think they knew exactly what they were doing, and as such I think it important to use what little Google clout my puny blog has, by saying: CILIT BANG MARKETING DESERVES YOUR CONTEMPT. Seems to me that if enough people were to say this, they would be at the top of google for entirely the wrong reasons. And there _is_ such a thing as bad press. For example: Sunny Delight, Dasani.

cheap but amusing

Sue me, but I never get tired of wisecracks like this, about Their Esteemed Leader:
I'm sure you are as befuddled by the vociferousness of your detractors as you are by the words "vociferous" and "detractors".

Amusement of the day

Apple extended character smileys. (smilies?) alt-v, colon, alt-0, closing parenthesis. Cheese, Gromit?

A little giggle

OK so I haven't been doing a very good job of this blogging thing later - I'm too caught up with Rails. More on that in the future I'm sure, but in the meantime, here's a quick chuckle for you.

Is it perhaps ironic...

That the BNP imports its newsletter from Slovakia?
