So, You've Decided To Come Up With A One-Joke...
I’ve come up with a terrible idea for a tumblr blog! No no, not this one you joker! A proper tumblr blog, the ones that have the same joke all the way through.
To clear the air: i find some of the funny ones v amusing, horrible family photos, the goths on the beach all very amusing.
The Look Of LOLve Concept:
Pictures of Martin Fry saying the line from Look of Love ‘if i know i...

I’ve been banging on about this programme for 8 days. 15 February 2011, Spurs lined up v Milan. Only Crouch up front, no Bale, this is going to be really tight. Then the fun literally started! Remember: this blog is reviewing the programme, not just the game the whole hilarious and enthralling thing! -Wahey it’s Jeff not Richard Keys! And he’s joined by Jamie ‘Son...
#Challops Watch
An occasional column on those things that have been a little challops recently:
-Fernando Duarte saying Romario’s better than Zico and proper Ronaldo #challops
-Richard Bacon saying Boardwalk Empire is boring #challops
-Helena Bonham Carter’s performance being considered better than Lesley Manville’s performance of a decade in Another Year, at the Baftas #Challops
-Arcade...
A soundbite becomes a rallying call, becomes an...
This post has lots of relevant soundbites The Big Society has changed from being an aspiration, to something we already do, to going back to an aspiration again. Rallying Call It started out as Cameron’s raison-d’etre, his life-long goal was to promote this soundbite. So we start from an ‘oh rly’ POV: did you care about the big society when you were fagging for Lord &c....
Change the way you search not the search engine
Caveat: I enjoyed Benji’s post immensely, he is a fine writer and i have no doubt he’s noticed more shit in his SERPS. There’s been a lot of news about SERPS getting worse, here are my thoughts.
In response to this article from Benji.
Example Benji gives, search Champions League Final 2011. You get the right date right there. Invariably Google will serve the answer in SERPS so...
Top-Table Spotlight > Group-0n
My levels of daily spam emails became too hot to handle. I previously had an interest in seeing how Gr0up-On, Amazon, Ebay, Key Noir &c. were doing direct mail, how it was changing. 2 weeks ago i reported everything as Spam apart from a select few. Top Table is one of those few, as it makes me feel slightly more exciting than i am. A new email came through this morning, screen shot below...
Superbowl Ads weren't very good this year
In general, the ads have been terrible. Michael Moore was ranting about Chrysler using Eminem, saying they’re ‘imported from Detroit’. That is a far more offensive idea than the tame GroupOn ads. Perhaps the UK lives in a post-Paed0geddon world.
The Xoom ad was horrific, esp. when it retails for $799, + contract for 3G. Totally stupid. You can’t piggy-back on iPad, then...
Aaron Barr's twitter page hacked
Here’s a screengrab of Aaron Barr’s twitter page, before it gets taken down. Backstory here. In other news, to take this screengrab, i used FF plug-in Pixlr Grabber, which is worth getting, takes lovely screenshots.
Edit: Right-Click view picture. My design-led tumblr account can’t deal with massive twitter screengrabs.
