PlayStation Repair Action TeamSeptember 1, 2009 by Mike Teasdale

Nice little stunt in the street outside Sony HQ in Great Marlborough Street - Watchdog has a van parked up full of engineers who are repairing PlayStations for free to bring attention to Sony's charging policy.

This kind of consumer direct action reminds me of a Milton Jones' joke - available I believe on a nice shiny DVD just in time for Christmas. 

"I went to our local train station and they told me 'There's a bus replacement service running today.'  So I gave them a tin of pineapple rings.  'What's this?'  'It's my money replacement service.'

Eat yourself fitter?July 23, 2009 by Mike Teasdale

Speaking as someone whose last meal was the all-you-can-eat buffet at Pizza Hut in Victoria, Diana Janicki's blog Growling Belly is a glimpse into a magical fairytale land where food is lovingly prepared and eaten with proper relish (and where relish does not equal bacon bits).

As I salivated over the "foolproof" recipe for pavlova with fresh summer berries I did worry that even my pizza-enhanced frame might struggle with the combined calorie load of meringue, whipping cream and sugar.

And astonishingly Google's content matching algorithm agrees with me - dropping in a banner for a weight-loss product into the recipe.

Hmmm.  Good thinking Google!

Of course if you really did want to lose weight, in the words of the old Irish joke, you wouldn't want to be starting from here!

Creepy dead chicken manJune 24, 2009 by Ellie

Oh good! Now the horribly creepy face of the Colonel can bee seen from space, or more easily, from Google Earth.
The temporary giant image was created out of tiles in the town of Rachel, Nevada back in 2006, but has only recently found its way onto the default layer of Google Earth. Not sure which agency was behind it though (perhaps someone might fill me in?).

RIMG0084Erm…I’m not sure how I feel about this ad.

I was in the gym trying to justify my membership fee for the first time in over a week. After my somewhat average workout I saw the above sticker-ad pasted inside a few locker doors.

It made me smile at first, our mick taking banter with the French never ends. I then became distracted by four loud French guys, stacked and cut like glass, giving each other jockesq, post-workout high fives.

It was a real right back at you moment. Judging by the way they looked I think they gave up their diets of chocolat chaude et croissant a long time ago.
