Diversions: Part two

Thursday, 21st June 2007
As promised, more diversions to keep you amused until next week.

While spending countless (actually, I do count them) hours in the library, plowing through my notes and books, I found myself thinking (for unrelated reasons of course) about the end of the world. Which reminded me of this video.

The other thing that often entered my mind was a simple, but oh so effective and crucial word. Which reminded me of a classic sketch, now wonderfully illustrated in this video.

Witness the versatility of the English language. These guys know how to do it. Although I wouldn't necessarily condone their choice of beverage.

While we're unto the subject of advertising and shameless product placement, this advert shows that promoting safe sex is easy, you just have to know how to do it.
