Obama: Trying to cash in on Obama, a Russian ice cream maker comes up with this tasteless ad.
Forgotten gold: A documentary about NZ film maker Colin McKenzie, is now on the NZ On Screen website. View it here…
Don’t joke about death: A NZ chainsaw ad using black humour (by ad agency DDB) offends someone who doesn’t like death, according to TV3. Watch the ad here.
Gone by lunchtime: Local right-wing blogger WhaleOil will no longer be blogging. Standing for Labour in Mt Albert or April Fool’s gag?
Headline: Renowned Hoo-Ha Doctor wins Nobel Prize For Medical Advancements ‘Down There’.
Crash! Hummer vs. Suzuki Ignis. As you’d expect.
All the single ladies: Reasons to be single “I’m alone because…unlike men, when a woman reaches a certain age, no matter the packaging, she seems to pass her shelf date.” And other less depressingly true reasons.
Hair: When I read Mop Shots, a site where women compare hairdos, I thought it would be dull and pointless … that was 20 minutes ago and I have called my tresser! The site is is full of good advice about what style suits who – “you must have a pixie face to pull off a pixie do…”
Video: Lost 80’s-Style theme song — and below that, if Star Wars was like an episode of TV show Dallas.
