Death by juxtaposition

This really is awful - surely the worst example of automated web advertising to date. The story is already in most of the newspaper websites - a young woman fatally shot by Iranian police. I'm not going to link to LiveLeak because they should be ashamed of hosting the video in this way.

Arse, Arse attack

Juxtarseposition reinforcing the idea that Prescott always has been an arse.

Snapped under 30 seconds ago on Telegraph website.

My friend is invisibler than your friend na na na na na

My pet fairies are amused by the unashamed presence of two stories in Her Majesty's Daily Telegraph.
Story 1: Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor: 'Many believe Christianity is out of step with society'
Story 2: One in five young children have imaginary friends
Perhaps some adults have no need of imaginary friends.

Good dog, bad dog

Good observation from one of my favourite indulgences: science blogs.

Bang

The worst ad placement ever, in my book, because of the tagline, the nature of the movie and... the location. Even now, the Stockwell shooting, where an innocent man was blasted to death on a tube train by trigger-happy police, is still big news.

Christians 0, Adsense 1

One of the best ad placements I've ever seen...

Should the link expire, here's a screen grab.

Marks & Spencer's soft furnishings

Much amusement is generated by an uncharacteristic cock-up from Marks & Spencer, the Nearly Dead But Now Thriving Nicely Thank You retail giant that was once best known for its sensible underwear. Perhaps extending its range to include furniture caused a tad too much confusement at Castle St Michael.
Sadly, this error has been removed from the website but you can still see pics of the Tribeca range.
It has nice cushions, you know.

or a kitten...? or a sweetie...?

Unfortunate juxtaposition from Saturday's Daily Telegraph.

Merry chavmass

From today's Metro: A pikey waster chav scumbag you don't know is hauled before the court and is sentenced to a curfew. He chooses your home address as his bail address. The court makes him move in to your home. There's fuck all you can do about it.
You'd really, really need a heart of stone not to laugh.
Icing on the cake? The tag line on the ad immediately below.
Which gives me an opportunity to recycle my favourite chav joke:
Q: What does a chav and a Slinky have in common?
A: It's always fun watching them both fall down the stairs.
