I have tried with all my might to ignore this but I can bear this internal anguish no longer. A few months ago, a popular brand of toilet paper re-branded (believe me this story is not going where you think it is). Due to the fact that I am neither a journalist nor a lawyer,I am not sure whether I'm allowed to state the brand name or not. I don't want to be sued (haha!as if enough people read this blog. But anyway. My paranoia and sense of self-importance won't me say what brand it is). So anyway, they re-branded and decided to make their logo (mascot?) a cat. It is an adorable little thing but what the hell does it have to do with the loo??? Are they saying that the t.p. is a soft as a cat? If that's what they're trying to say, how did they know how soft a cat feels on a persons butt? Are they doing some kind of sick animal testing? What other animals have they tested? How many people agreed to be testers? WHY did they agree? If they mean something else, what is it?!?! I want the PR person of this t.p. brand to come out and state their objectives 'cause I'm very confused and saddened that the feline race (I doubt that they're a race but whatever :)) are being associated with such crap. Literally. Another ad campaign that pisses me off is this one for this bank. It's like a pirated version- not even made in China. Made somewhere off the coast of China- of the 'old spice' ads. The 'old spice' ads= genius! The bank ones= lame. When you steal ideas at least make sure they measure up. Really, people. COME ON!
This is not really a rant. More like a short story on the dangers of using t9 or predictive text while texting;
So I was supposed to meet my...someone...in town today. When I get there I start texting 'im in town' while walking. I think I somehow got distracted and accidentally (like the dyslexic I try not to be) switch the letters w and n. Where is the danger in this you ask. Well kids, you see in predictive text the word that makes the most sense with the letter combination of the numbers 8669 is 'tony'. I almost sent a text saying 'im in tony'. The someone would probably have found it kinda funny but what if I'd been texting my mum???
