So what's the formula for fail?

I've just found out that infant formula cannot be advertised to the public in the UK.

Isn't that weird when you think about it? I can only think of one other non prescription product that cannot be advertised and that's tobacco products.
I'm one of those that kind of find it hard to believe that formula isn't at least just as good as breastmilk, but even if it wasn't, this is a product that you can just go and buy. It's not banned, or only on doctor's orders, it's not dangerous.

And yet I'm reading this legislation, and you'd think it was made mostly of cocaine.

The emperor's new media

I'm unfortunately gifted with what appears to be astonishingly bad taste.
That is, if certain works of art are universally declared to be the best thing since toasted sliced bread you'd get good odds that I will be the one who says "I don't get it".

I've found my line that must not be crossed

In other news, I have a line.

Can you smell banana?

I'll be honest, I don't really see ads normally.

I'm an adblocker. But, I figured since it's my blog I should probably know what it looks like.
According to google's no doubt impeccable algorithms my imaginary reader is in a lot of debt. And no wonder- they keep adopting monkeys.

But £3 a month eh? That is pretty reasonable. If you pay an extra couple of quid perhaps they'll dress him up as a butler.

Short on space- can we agree? Turn 2 mes into 1 we

Can't stop listening.
Shame how some become famous with no talent, then others just end up with a handful of views on youtube.

Et tu, Charlie?

Feel for us, the silent minorities.

We are, after all a sad bunch. We cling to allies that never knew there was a war, and we mourn those who fail in their ignorance.

Still, there are some allies you take for granted. Charlie Brooker that misanthropic, opinionated, and all round writing genius was as close to a role model as I get, and today, sad sad day, I find that he is expecting.

Oh, I knew of course that no human being could be quite so cutting and survive in real life, but I wasn't expecting it to be quite as much of an act.

I never had crushes on celebrities, even when I was younger I could see it was foolish, so how did I end up so... disappointed... in a stranger?
We all look for allies. Sometimes we just look in the wrong places.
