How low will online marketing go?

How low will online marketing go? Consider the case of Cillit Bang and ask yourself, is the scum that came up with that sort of sick marketing campaign really human?

Boeing makes getting connected while aloft a reality, but finds it’s a tough sell.

Boeing makes getting connected while aloft a reality, but finds it’s a tough sell. It’s kinda sad how American carriers seem to have forgotten the meaning of “competitive advantage”… eventually they might all nickel-and-dime their way into bankruptcy.

Newest Dutch invention: the house that swims.

Newest Dutch invention: the house that swims. This is very cool! and certainly well-suited to the Netherlands’ quandary as a nation which lives (to a great extent) below sea level. They should consider building at least a few of these as a pilot project in New Orleans.

United Ripoff Service

Here’s a hint for all Canadians who order stuff from the US: make sure you choose Fedex, DHL or the US Postal Service to deliver your package.

On a package worth less than $120, the fuckers are charging me a whopping $61.98 of “brokerage fees”.

I really don’t have a choice because they’re holding my package hostage until I pay them, but one thing’s for sure — I’m going to file complaints with the BBB and local trade authorities over this dishonest dealing.

Octopus arms have minds of their own. I’ll bet you didn’t know that! Chalk up another one to my second (naturally!) favorite creature of the sea.
