The Chuck Norris phase seems to have finally come to an end. Don't get me wrong, some of the jokes were quite amusing but it is good to see we're all moving on. What we're all moving on to troubles me a bit, though.
Vernon Koekemoer...
I'm sorry but I struggle to see the funny side of this phenomenon. I think it's quite ridiculous actually. The marketers have seriously crossed the dead-ball line on this one. In fact, they didn't cross the line because they were on the wrong side of it to start with.
When watching TV last night, a commercial break showed some new Vernon Koekemoer protection scam on your cell phone, I nearly cracked. The fact that people actually subscribe to these 'free' services by texting to the 5-digit number is bad enough. Do they not see the little block in the corner of the screen that says only 'R65 a week'? Come on kids, Eco's 101: There's no such thing as a free lunch...
More interestingly, blogger is playing mind games with me at the moment. My paragraphs keep jumping into the middle of other paragraphs. Google, this isn't funny. Cut it out. And by 'cut it out' I don't mean literally because that's what's actually happening. I mean stop cutting it out!
