I tuned in to BBC4 as I do at about 2am every now and again, to see this show.

Dear Confused.com
As you may have seen recently there is a new confused.com advert targetting the mentally handicapped.
My problem with the advert is that within 5 seconds a goat man comes on and says "There aren't any complicated questions like; 'What were you doing seven years ago?', 'Do you like bread?' and 'Do you have a beard?'". See below.
See for any rational human, two of those questions aren't actually very complicated. Most people probably answer with their spine (little CNS joke for you there). Do you have a beard? Do you like bread? Please think carefully about these questions lest your MENSA membership be terminated.
Then the same moron appears on youtube, saying he doesn't like youtube for advertising, and then playing a clip of the advert he was in. Thus using the very platform he is denouncing to denounce the platform he is using and has used to get into advertising for using advertising on the platform that launched his career in advertising. The levels of hypocrisy are so unbelievably layered that if you attempted to say that sentence out loud it would just sound like static. See below.
In conclusion FUCK YOU MR TUMNAS

Dear Alistair Darling
Ali D, the man, the myth, the legend. I won't say much but the right honourable Alistair Darling MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is an economic godsend. Thank goodness in these times of economic crisis, we have a genius like Alistair involved.
It's simple! The key to restoring our crippled economy is quantitative easing. For those who don't know what that means, it's a very simple process that will fix everything! What you do is, you print more and more money.
This has proved effective in both Weimar:
And Zimbabwe too!
Look how bloody rich they are! I can't wait.

Dear Cobra Beer
I love Cobra beer. It's delicious.
Their adverts however, are my least favourite thing in the world, ever. Ranking even lower than people filing their nails and pesto grease.
The adverts, if you haven't seen them, are a bunch of middle-aged, pseudo-witty, scribbly little twats sitting around in a cartoon bar with their beers saying really fucking annoying things to each other, like so:
Sorry, that's just not funny, at all. I would be more inclined to drink Cobra if they used this,
and that's really saying something.
If I see any of these three in the street, I will brutally and savagely kill them.

Job hunting can be fun
I am trying to find a job to fill the 98% of my life where I have no university commitments and upon searching the internet I came across a thread which was relevant to my interests.
The title was "Estimator".
Brilliant! I wonder what estimating involves? Just making everything up? I'm pretty sure I could make stuff up. I would like this job to involve sitting at a desk in the centre of the universe and having people from all over the world calling me with inane questions like so:
(One of many crude paint/google image cartoons to come)
I opened the advert and it said this: "A role is available within their estimating department. The client would like to considered candidates who can demonstrate a proven track record providing an estimator role within a build environment."
Written obviously in estimated language using estimated words. Of course the advert is only an estimate, and not necessarily accurate in describing the job.
The hunt continues.

Dear Pizza Hut
I had an inspired dream the other day to help Pizza Hut along with their rebranding. I dreamt that after telling them Pasta Hut is a shit idea, I told them that to keep current and up-to-date they should print newspaper headlines on the pizza crusts. It wasn't received well, so I woke up.
In other news I am in some kind of origami hippie nightmare. My house is littered with paper swans, folk music, deer hunters, feathers, Charlie Chaplin DVD boxsets and balls of yarn. I often wonder how people can get any pleasure at all from the aforementioned. Oh yeah and Seinfeld is shit too.
Bye!

Awkward first post
Hello.
My name's Mike, and I decided to start a new blog where I tell you what you should find funny, pleasing and otherwise good. It will have nothing boring in it and will be punctuated and capitalised properlY?
Great!
