Remember how Wispa fans got Cadbury to relaunch the nostalgic chocolate bar? It seems like this behaviour now has an added dimension as some consumers demanded a product that doesn't actually exist.
A Star Wars-themed blanket was knocked up as a one-off for a joke, promoted as a spoof, and created enough credulous demand to make the jokers consider selling it for real. Total capitalist nerdgasm.
Beware the danger of glass containers with strange looking liquids. Many are cunningly designed to appeal to Standard White Housewives, especially Types 3-5, (those most commonly found in kitchens) whilst maintaining her domestic breeding unit.
To some, this sight is appealing.
Some ethnic stereotypes are heavily associated with overcrowded trains. Do not allow this to deceive you. Our spies inform us of the existence of a stable matter transference unit that allows ethnic stereotypes to travel several thousand miles in an instant. These people are not to be trifled with.
Useless Husband can be utilised if in Carry Object Mode.
This is not a bowl of vomit.
Other clues might include taxi driver saying “cor blimey guvna”, red buses and cheerful chimney sweeps. The invasion force is near.
This is the point of maximum danger. The combined breeding unit is in Feed Mode.
Useless Husband hears a noise. The Proximity Alert at the breeding unit’s domestic access point has been activated. This is the critical moment.
MAJOR FAILURE OF THE USELESS HUSBAND!
Ethnic Stereotypes have infiltrated the breeding unit’s territory!
Unprepared, the domestic breeding unit is surrounded by forces outnumbering them three to one!
Decency prevents the depiction of the resulting carnage.
The circle is complete. The four elements of the domestic breeding unit have been recycled.
I'll never learn - browsing b3ta during the lunchbreak is a risky business. One risks choking with laughter. Here's the daftest bit of editing you'll ever see, created by a b3ta regular.
Too much advertising is bad for you, so have some Star Wars.

Observing how it has since become a sadistic freakshow rushing headlong to its first televised suicide, it is sobering to recall how relatively well received the first series of Big Brother was in the UK. There was the vague feeling that, back in 2001, it could be passed off as a social experiment. The housemates were relatively normal, not too young, and the "nastiest" character was vilified for being clever enough to manipulate the other inmates.
Without a clear memory of the first series, you might find some of this Star Wars BB spoof from Adam & Joe flying over your head, but I think it's still funny, even if you had forgotten about the great tableside confrontation of Nasty Nick, that annoying fella who always fed the chickens, and the hyperactive skinhead girl who liked to paint on walls.
More Adam & Joe (but mostly Adam):

This is so bloody awful but I love it. It's a bit like watching "Our Family" on BBC1, which my kids love, and is also cheesy, naff and slightly embarrassing to watch. That sitcom has had me snorting Pepsi out of my nose in an attempt to avoid laughing.
It's sacrilege to take the piss out of Darth Vader, but I'll tolerate it here. Woolworths is the working-class hardware store with middle England aspirations. Over the years its stock has become so varied that it doesn't know whether it's Arthur or Martha.
But it's still the first shop my own family visits on the high street for their odds and sods - DVDs, sweets, plants, stationery, lightsabres...
I'd say that BBH has just made the best ever Woolies ad.
This is one of my regular forays off-topic, courtesy of the bulletin boards from my favourite waste of time. Video mash-ups are the best things on YouTube, and here's one that'll appeal if you share my strong geek gene.
It'll be appreciated by fans of one of Star Wars' minor characters.
Blimey, it's taking the world of advertising a while to wake up, and the papers tell us that many Britons aren't returning to work until next week, the lazy shysters.
Here's something off-topic that amused me over the holidays - Silent Star Wars.
Still with my head in the clouds over the BMA rankings, I think I deserve some self-indulgence. Here’s something from b3ta that’s been keeping the troops amused at
