"We can't make you immortal..." has to be the most ridiculous opening line for any advert ever.

I saw an advert earlier that I think was for Oxfam. Apparently, the answer to the world's problems is the projectile vomiting of light.

... to Melvyn Bragg for starting to say that [some 17th century farming activity] represented a "quantum leap", then stopping at about the "l" of "leap" and saying "I'm not going to use that term", and altering it to "a great leap forward".
Much respect.
NZS love you, Mr Bragg. Even if you didn't give us a podcast last week.

It would seem that the Olympic torch's route to Beijing has taken an unlikely route, to the top of mount everest.
One can only wonder how it doesn't go out.

I believe the teachers have been striking. Fine, whatever. I kinda find it entertaining that because we *like* what some people do, we're inclined to support their claims not to be paid enough despite not actually knowing how much they already get paid, or whether that's a lot or a little compared to anyone else.
Still. I like teachers. I interact on a daily basis with quite big numbers of trainee teachers and they're an above-averagely nice set of people.
That said, what kind of sanctimonious dicks are they trying to get in with the latest recruitment advert?
I thought the "aren't kids lovely asking the science questions?" adverts were predictably appealing. I'm not sure it's a great idea to use TV to trick people who weren't already enamoured with kids into thinking they really should look again at how fucking cute they are with their "where does pocket fluff come from?" enquiries... but, you know, science is rad.
The latest ad (which I can't find on Youtube, sorry) involves a young female black teacher in a voicever saying "I sometimes find it hard to make important issues relevant to these kids"... then one of the kids phones goes off. Being the kind of quick-witted master of conversational opportunity you apparently just become automatically when you undertake teacher training, she points out that the kid is lucky to have a phone compared to the kids in the pictures she goes on to show of some kids in a foreign land getting all treated badly and that.
Obviously, a vibrant and engaging debate ensues. These kids, some of whose parents presumably earn less than the teacher, go away learning to be happy with what they've got. Awesome.
I guess I'd find it all the more credible if that same teacher wasn't staying home this week over 1.35% of her salary.
Actually, I suppose that same teacher is an actress, and can't go on strike when her and the other actresses think they're not getting paid enough.

... is genuinely the most ridiulous piece-of-shit addition to any game ever.
Tiger is such a great game and there's so much radness in this latest version, but the tiger challenge is just painfully dull.
Imagine, if you will, a golf game in which you cannot complete the main section of the game... the bit where you build up to playing a matchplay against the great Tiger Woods himself... without having to play weird 4-hole games of golf that take nearly a minute to load in which your goal is often to aim as far from the hole as possible within a certain boundary, or, if you can't be first to the green, try to miss it altogether, but be as close as possible.
That's "Bingo Bango Bongo".
This company will own Take 2 by the summer by the looks of things. Here's hoping it's not in time to sneak in some shit idea about trying to just miss the cops in GTA4 or something.
