Like Marmite?

I sometimes wish there was more choice than the ubiquitous ‘like’ button on Facebook. At the time of writing, 398,844 people ‘like’ Marmite on Facebook. That sort of ambivalence shouldn’t be allowed. I thought it was a LOVE / HATE thing?

Idea for Marmite brand owners: start a campaign for Love and Hate buttons on Facebook.




Extinguisher

I saw this outside a pub at the weekend. I don’t think it was intended to be taken literally.




Brown toast

This made me laugh. From The Independent’s Dave Brown.

Although, if Gordon Brown is toast, David Cameron is crackers.

(Maybe that makes Nick Clegg marmalade?)

International readers: If you don’t know what this is all about, it’s now known as ‘Bigotgate’




Save 6music

Along with a lot of other right-thinking people, I was really sad to hear the BBC were planning to close down digital station 6music. Almost as importantly as the end of the Adam & Joe show, it will mean I won’t have a use for this sketch I did a while ago.

The 6 was always aching to be a pair of headphones, and most of the other stations have a small intervention to the number to indicate their content.

If you want to try and change the BBC’s mind, there’s a protest tomorrow in London, apparently if enough people turn up they will consider a reprieve.

And if that happens, I’m happy to develop the logo for the relaunch.




You snooze, you lose

Damn. I was half-way through making this!

Just goes to show, that idea you’ve just had? Someone else has already had it.

Lovely though, and reassuring to see this guy has had as much trouble with the ‘M’ as I was having.

I guess I’ll abandon mine now then.




Seeing red

From the brand that brought you this oddity now comes a whole new level of indulgent nonsense. The red-attired assault on the tube station exit this morning had only one result…

…they were everywhere. So I did actually walk on red carpet practically all the way to work thanks to Virgin.

Who thinks up this stuff?
