Does the entire Innocent Smoothies aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

There's a new advert on UK TV for Bel Vita everyone

Romance copy in general is completely irritating.

DAVID HASSELHOFF! CHUCK NORRIS! I REMEMBER THEM, HARHARHAR!

Bucolic yet sinister

yeah, not quite 'innocent' but def something creepy about it. maybe like a digital-age update of is there a name or a phrase for or anything much written about that distinctly British CREEPY VIBE prevalent in TV shows and movies of the '60s/'70s? (e.g. The Prisoner, Sapphire and Steel, Baker-era

LastPass****

ooooo, don't tell me, don't tell me... is it 'word'? it is 'word' isn't it?

i posted this photo a while back, but now i can report that they also have a speaker in the the toilet playing a recording of it.

If I was sitting on a toilet and then suddenly heard a voice talking I'd... crap myself

the aesthetic might be annoying but I have to say I bought a few cartons of this while in London this summer and it was delicious.

Why hasn't there been a backlash against the I.S.A. in advertising yet? If I were an ad exec, the first thing I'd think of is having some drippy cardigan boy get his ukelele smashed to pieces by the object of his desire.

the type of ppl who gobble this stuff up probably comfortably outnumber the type of ppl who moan about it on the internet

A friend of mine just posted on FB an invoice of her new iphone purchase from one of our main telco carriers here. One of the line items was "new phone feeling" at $0.

The fuck.

i'd send it straight back. that's utterly revolting.

I think it was part of Telstra's ad campaign for the phones anyway but yeah, christ on a bike.

in my experience, the 'new phone feeling' involves peaking stress levels, frustration, and 'HOW THE FUCK DO I WRITE A SPACE IN MY TEXTS??!'

WHERE HAS MY EFFING CONTACTS LIST GONE OMG

That too. What? I have to download or buy all my apps again? Great feeling!

...now all my contacts are listed TWICE, including everyone I've ever emailed from the GMail account I set up in 2004!

While I'm moaning about phones - on the subject of music libraries - will there ever be a system where you can look at Artists but not have every artist on a compilation put into separate folders? It's so frustrating and a perennial problem but in 10+ years of MP3 players it still happens all the time.

oh hang on I thought this was the IA, not the IS thread. As you were.

i feel awesome when i get a new phone

grrrr

We have a problem, Cupcakes.

And it’s not that you’re not awesome. Because, dear Cupcakes, oh how we love you. Sometimes we make whole batches of cupcakes without telling anyone so we can secretly eat them all ourselves instead of doing supposedly productive things like standing up.

And it’s not that we think you’re overrated now that everyone and their kids are opening up cutesy cupcake restaurants. I would live out of a sleeping bag in one of those restaurants to be closer to you every morning, sultry Cupcakes.

But what really pisses us off, Cupcakes, is that you’re so much work. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t mind mixing up the batter and dirtying all our dishes since they’ll sit in the sink for a week anyways. We’ll even wait 15 minutes for you to puff up into beautiful little chocolatey pillows of fucking fluff.

It’s that after you come out of the oven, naked Cupcakes, there’s still a whole step left called FROSTING. Really? Because all our dishes are dirty, we spent all our energy watching you bake, and there’s MORE?!?!

Cupcakes, you scoundreling bitches.

We’ll show you. You’ll be sitting on our counters waiting in vain, because instead of making frosting, we’ve just been eating you smothered in butter. Which isn’t as good as butter AND sugar, but us Lazy Girls take what we can get. And usually that involves lots of butter.

Next up: Monkey Bread - don’t think you’re getting away so easily.

ps and another thing, Cupcakes, we need you to stay out of weddings, okay? Because The Wedding Cake is a heavenly thing, and when you pile yourselves up in a big Cupcake orgy next to the dance floor, we feel dirty for eating more than one of you in public in pretty dresses. Because no matter how many slices of Wedding Cake we eat, it’s still only ONE cake, isn’t it, Cupcakes? Don’t worry, we’d say I Do to you anytime.

Just got this drivel from a fucking videogame retailer:

Every order that we receive is important to us and yours was no exception.
The moment your order came through we've been busy picking and packing, sticking and wrapping to get it sent off to you as fast as we could so that when it arrives at your door it'll bring a smile.
You can now put your feet up, have a cup of your favourite warm beverage and possibly a nice slice of cake whilst Royal Mail carry out the delivery part of the order.
If we could, we would bring the parcel to your door personally and deliver it with your very own GameSeek fanfare, but we do have to rely on Royal Mail....so if they don't show your delivery as much love and care as we would then we are very sorry. Let us know about it and we will do what we can to help. Occasionally things can be delayed or go missing so we would respectfully ask that if there is a problem, you let us know first. Any delays are not down to us.
So, you now know that we have treated your order with the care and devotion and carried it through our sales process like it was our very own. We'd like to ask if you could show us a bit of love too? We would be filled with joy if you could see your way clear to spending a couple of moments to leave us feedback. Your opinion is invaluable to us, and we treat your words with great care.

We are determined to get cracking with HS2. We have already completed the consultation on Phase One, and in 2013 we began seeking powers from Parliament to construct the line between London and the West Midlands via a hybrid Bill.

The first shovels will hit the ground in 2017 and the first high speed trains should be speeding along the tracks between Birmingham and London by 2026.
