On the lighter side of life…

As part of the marketing campaign for the new Simpson’s Movie, the promoters drew a massive Homer Simpson on the hillside in Dorset, right next to the the Cerne Abbas giant – an ancient fertility symbol. See picture. As a Simpson’s fan, I thought it was genius.

UK-based pagan groups were incensed, though, and promised to do “rain magic” to bring the rains to wash away Homer (read Sky News report here). This all happened a few days before the most devastating rainfall and flooding in recorded history in Britain. Hhhmmm? Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
