It might be something simple like the Marathon Bar that was renamed Snickers. I don’t know why they did that as the new name was fucking stupid. I haven’t bought one since. [I never bought one before the change, but that’s beside the point].
Then there was Jif and their cleaning stuff that was renamed Cif. At least there was a reason there – there was another crowd who made lemon juice who laid claim to the name.
One of the latest changes was the renaming of Anglo Irish Bank to The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation. Fuck but that’s a mouthful! They changed the name because Anglo was the bank that virtually destroyed this country and the mere name of it sent shivers down the spine. The thought that changing the name might make people feel better about it. Hah!
Because they chose such a fucking stupid name, no one can ever remember it. Even its acronym – IBRC doesn’t mean anything to anybody. So now anyone who is talking about the bank will generally refer to it as “the IBRC which used to be known as Anglo” A few times I have seen panel discussions on the television where someone mentions the IBRC. Everyone looks blank until they are reminded that it’s Anglo.
The point is that they spend a shed load of money changing a company’s name but people still refer to it by the old name.
More than a dozen suspected criminals have been arrested as part of an undercover sting operation after being duped into ringing the police to claim free beer.
Derbyshire Police said the suspects were detained after officers sent letters to a string of people who had evaded arrest for several months, urging them to claim a complimentary crate of beer from a marketing company.
OK. So far so good.
Chief Inspector Graham McLaughlin, who led the operation, said: “These suspects are people who have managed to evade arrest for some time so we have used different tactics to find them.
“It has been very cost-effective as it can take a lot of time and money to track people down.
On the face of it – fine?
But let’s move back a bit….
it can take a lot of time and money to track people down.
and
officers sent letters
So they didn’t know where the suspects were, but had their addresses?
Did it not occur to these bastions of law and order that if they had the addresses of those people, that that might have been a good starting place to look for them?
If you have a query about any subject on earth, that you will find the answer on the Interweb.
Not so.
I mentioned before how our dog has developed a rather unsavoury habit of plunging her head down between her hind legs and then making a loud series of gulping sloshing noises. To say it is a tad nauseating is to put it politely, particularly as she loves doing it at mealtimes.
Last night I thought I would try to find a solution to this little problem so I did a little search on Google.
I used the words “dog licking”.
All I got was a massive list of sites telling me all I wanted to know about dogs licking their paws.
Not much use.
I decided to be a little more specific.
I tried “dog licking fanny”.
For some reason, presumably only known to Google, it assumed I wanted “dog licking pussy”.
……
……
FUCK!!!!
That is fucking DISGUSTING!
I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed on the Interweb.
I really feel quite ill.
I suppose I’ll just have to bring her to the vet instead.
