Preparing For Emergencies

hehe. Thanks Donal for the link to preparingforemergencies.co.uk which is a parody of preparingforemergencies.gov.uk
Surely the British Government isn’t scare mongering? Bertie tried that last year, but even he’s given up on it!

In an effort to worry the public and convince them to vote for us again next year, and because George Bush asked us to, this website includes…

Pringles Dippers Shocker!

Ohmygod! It would seem that there are problems with the new Pringles Dippers being advertised on TV with duck billed platypusses (is that right? platypussies maybe? Ah, thanks Kevin for this!) swimming behind several beautiful and not-fat young people. I’m not suggesting that eating Pringles will make you fat, but there’s even less chance of it happening with the dippers as there’s less in the box! Good luck trying to fit a dipper+dip into your mouth too. Maybe a little too big for a single dip?
Some people just hate the advert!
And finally, check ateed.com for the music to the ad. It’s loaded via a flash animation so I couldn’t download the music. Maybe someone going through a proxy can get the URL?
