Searching For...

10:40.25 - Monday 26th April 2004   (Link to This Entry)

Just going over the counter results for the website. 'Naked Cheerleaders' is still cropping up from time to time, and I currently occupy 3rd Place for Naked Cheerleaders on MSN - up from 7th! The ever-popular 'Pacific DVD 1001 Hack' and 'Hack Gunbound' also appear.

Searches for 'BT XD500' are becoming more frequent, ditto 'BT Intelligent Gateway 1800' (aka 2wire somethingorother) - the BT-branded ISDN router. New to the listings are searches for the 'Ka Evil Twin Advert' or 'Ford Ka Cat Killer'. Very interesting.

Windows!

Hopefully not the kind that breaks every so often for no apparentl reason, the installation of our long-awaited double glazing begins tomorrow and so I may be unable to work, play or whatever while that's happening. We origionally wanted new windows at the old address, but after the guy we asked to do them went bankrupt, we kinda gave up on that idea and moved house instead. It made sense at the time, trust me.

The only downer is that - even with the half-rotten windows we have at the moment, it's almost unbearable warm in here. Once the new ones go in it's going to be an oven up here.

Worst Ad of the Month...

..has to be the stupid 'Colgate Squad' (possibly Team Colgate - I forget) chewing gum effort. You know the one (and if you don't, lucky you!) - three white-clad 'babes', one flips through a restaurant and gives a packet of chewing gum to a woman drinking coffee before racing off in a white MG - wtf is all this about?

Seriously, this ad is a confused amalgamation of movie references. It can't decide whether it wants to be The Matrix, Charlie's Angels or Mission Impossible and so borrows the generic, defining bits from all three (Woman on motorcycle, acrobatics in confined space, slo-mo detail capture, flowing costumes) while failing to capture the spirit of any of them.

GAH! Back to the drawing board with you, chaps!
