A life for sale

17th March

2008

A man called Ian is selling his life -literally all of it- on ebay, after having split from his wife.
For your bid you get a lovely house near Perth, Australia, a car, a motorbike, skydiving kit, jet-ski, job all of his friends and much more!

Garfield minus Garfield

This makes you question whether the original writers of the original comic strip had a darker, more sincere motive; one which we can all still laugh at.

A wholesome kind of guy

3rd March

2008

Rejoice! Thick-sliced hero Mr Toast is now available as a vinyl toy. Be warned, though, he’s not for kids. Mr Toast is a major choking-death-hazard that will kill the fruit of your plentiful loins. The soft and squishy Mr Toast doll is a better option for the little ‘uns.

The hoover mouse

25th February

2008

Some inventions are so pointless you can’t help but wonder how somebody convinced a manufacturer to put them into production. Take the hoover mouse, for example. As the name implies, it’s a pointing device that doubles as a hoover.

Combining a mouse with an electric shaver… that’d be killer. Or a maybe a HP sauce dispenser.

Thanks for the Memory, Crucial

21st February

2008

Ordering RAM is a tedious task, on a par with washing the dishes or peeling a banana for a man with no hands. So, when making an order with Crucial yesterday, upon seeing the obligatory box “Enter any special shipping and handling instructions here”, I asked them for a hand-written poem. As you do…

This morning, I received the following via email:

Good morning Milan,

Sorry can not oblige with a hand written poem so

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Sugar is sweet
and so are you.

Have a nice day

Kindest regards

Linda

Nice one! Clearly, they’re even more crucial than Delbert Wilkins. High fives and back slaps to Linda (surname withheld because the Internet is a scary place at the best of times).

iBand is a meeting of musical minds, featuring Elton John on iPhone 1, Phil Collins on iPhone 2 and a suicide bomber on the DS. Go team!

Now, if only they had someone to play the digital bum flute…

Robbie Williams to hit the road

30th January

2008

Unsold copies of notorious pop mongrel Robbie Williams‘ latest album Rudebox are to be recycled and used to surface roads in China.

On the one hand, I pity Robbie; he’s received a resounding thumbs down from the public, who’ve chosen not to invest his latest creative endeavour. However, one must give credit to EMI for their clever (and very PR-worthy!) recycling initiative.

New Apple prototype leaked

10th January

2008

Apple have consistently rubbished the rumoured iBeardTouch, the combined phone, music player, web browser and beard maintenance wonder-gadget. “It simply does not exist - the whole idea is pure fantasy,” barked Dave Satsuma, Chief of Male Grooming Technology at Apple. However, the following image, leaked to undercover barbers in the Los Angeles underground, suggests the incredible device may actually exist!

“Picture the scene: you’re on the train, listening to Slade, chatting on the phone to your mistress, whilst trimming your precious face blanket - genius!” enthused Alan Key, barber to the stars. “This will make the lawnmower redundant!”
