Sam vs Oven Pride : round 2

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I find sexism as funny as the next man, but when it’s used to portray a product as being “so simple a man could use it” I’m curious as to whether this is sensationalist marketing for the sake of it. I have tried to figure this out by writing to the makers of Oven Pride, and they obliged me with a response.

Sam vs Oven Pride : round 1

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Apparently this marvellous product is “so easy a man can do it”. As a domesticated badass I am obliged to find out exactly how simple that actually is, just in case I have the double digit IQ necessary to use it.

Politics vs Youth Crime

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

London’s mayoral election is looming and the two leading candidates have been jousting and generally sniping at each other for several tiresome months now. As ever the political discourse is more about who can be more smug, condescending and generally clever regarding their opponent.

Media Assisted Suicide

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

This is a little something I’ve been meaning to write for a while, and since thinking about the subject initially I decided to hold off and build up some source material to back up my point. However, me being me that thinking fell by the wayside, but since I’m in a clearing up kind of mood I’ve decided to just let rip and see where the chips fall.

British media has an unhealthy fixation with celebrity, earned and generated. As a regular commuter into London this is never more obvious than within the pages of the daily, free tabloids The London Lite and The London Paper.

Fixing The Planet

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I like a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone, so here’s one of my own. The difference between this particular theory and others which may be out there is that this one has yet to happen, but I fully envisage it coming to fruition in the near future.

Clever People State The Obvious

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

I always knew the education I was given was pretty good, I guess this demonstrates it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

So first off I have to apologise. This is probably the millionth news update written about today’s announcement that… wait for it… global warming is caused by humans!
