Oh My God!

Okay so here in the offices we get a lot of papers and magazines. Today though we were reduced to tears of laughter from one magazine. Not the mag itself more the advertisements in it. Would you for instance like to buy a doll with this description?
Madra plays a young woman who, after witnessing a gangland killing, can only remember the details in her dreams. Comes with picture hat and pastel gloves with floral trim, shoes, and hose.
I love the gangland killing bit. Makes it really special.

Also how about a genuine silver plated red arrow?

Or better still how about a copy of your favourite football ground?

The Friday Project

‘The thing is, right, all the best pop stars are paedophiles, aren’t they? Jackson, Glitter, Townsend, King. So what they should do is take a load of musical instruments to prison and get all the paedoes to make records. You’d get loads of brilliant albums and they’d have repaid their debt to society. And then you could drown them all in a sack and they’d still be able to go to heaven.

ebay and live8

So it looks like ebay‘s normal stance of not actually having stock and not really getting involved may be under fire today as live8live tickets are being put on sale on the site. Sir Bob Geldof is a little unhappy (as you can understand) that a concert to raise awareness for abject poverty is being used fo profiteering.
I saw later on the news that ebay are removing the auctions for tickets yet a search ealrier shows they are still happily allowing people to profit from the wristbands. Charity wristbands like the tickets for live8 should not be resold. It defeats the purpose of them in the first place. If you want a fashion wristband go and buy one from a store.
