This is where backwards compatible marketing would come in handy.

Fruitcake... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ gnuf's photos]

I. Do. Not. Like. Fruitcake!

But then, who does?

It surprises me that there is still a viable market for fruitcake. A Google search brings up about 207,000 hits for fruitcake, and not one of the hits on the first page is negative. In fact one of the links is the pro-fruitcake Society for the Protection and Preservation of Fruitcake.

Sigh

I was perusing the newest videos at Will It Blend when I found this one:


[Will It Blend? - Holiday Hassles]


The fruitcake makes quite the mess.

This video is actually just a glorified ad for Bill Me Later and its subsite Operation Fruitcake

Operation Fruitcake doesn't have a lot of material yet, but it looks promising. Only 3 videos up so far. I like this one:

[Operation Fruitcake - Incinerator]


Just out of curiosity I Googled I hate fruitcake and came up with 266,000 hits. However on closer inspection there seems to be a lot of sites along the line of fruitcake for people who hate fruitcake

Here is a genuine fruitcake hater - bless him!

The I Hate Fruitcake Hate Page

While conducting my in-depth reserch for this post I ran across the videos of Marie Rudisill, "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" from the Tonight Show.

I had forgotten about her videos. Here's a classic:

[This LADY loved CAKE and FRUIT]


And to finish, an anti-fruitcake classic:

[Grandma's Killer Fruitcake]


And btw. A YouTube search for fruitcake gets you 694 results.

I'z On Your Computer Makin Da Wurdz

Apparently this is an actual problem. I know that my old cat used to like sleeping in top of the monitor, but I don't remember him sending email - Although I did wonder about all those free Pounce coupons that came in the mail.

Well if you suffer from typing cat, there is a solution.

Introducing PawSense. A program that teaches your computer the difference between your typing and your cat typing. If it detects the cat it disables your keyboard and plays an annoying sound, thereby reducing kitty errors to your PC.

A screenshot:



Although it seems to me that cats like printers and monitors more than keyboards.

Evidence:




And my Favourite.



Of course Brat doesn't need a computer, she goes outside to check her p-mail (Badum Dum!)

I think cats are generally more interactive with things like computers than dogs are. Although this dog is quite curious. (Reminds me of our old dog Baily)

Ikea - Swedish For Mycket Rolig

Thanks to Dooce, I have now been subjected to the sicko world of foreign Ikea commercials.

I like this one:



The search banned ikea gets you the best of the bunch, but it won't get you this one:



Ok kids, all together - AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Everyone who has every put together a Billy bookshelf knows and understands the "joys" of Ikea instructions. If you know what I mean (or even if you don't) check out the Ikea instructions on Neville's Garden. You won't do any worse following his instructions rather than the official ones.

From Marketallica, photos of various Ikea advertising campaigns. I really like the first one.

And to finish off... There actually is an Ikea Blog.

Above link comes with no warranties as I haven't had a chance to really check it out yet.

Thank you and goodnight, try the Swedish meatballs

Nothing Exciting Tonight....

Haven’t written in awhile, I know. And you ain’t getting much tonight either… Just this great flyer a co-worker found. What were the marketing people thinking! (This is from a Mervyn’s flyer)
