if like our ceo wooly william, you really love innocent and drink them until the cows come home (what cows? we only use fruit in our smoothies!) and you really enjoy our fun approach to bringing you some 100 per cent fruit, then the chances are you are unable to actually chew foods you total fucking cretin.

The Social Media Guru obviously rode his Vespa home to Clapham early this afternoon after a good two or three hours hard work brainstorming new brand strategies.

i think innocent smoothies are fucking delicious. which may around here be the equivalent of saying 'say what you will about the nazis, but they had STYLE.'
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 23 November 2010 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Innocent Smoothies are very sad about having to charge VAT on our very expensive yummy smoothies because it means we have to pass it on to all of our customers. We don't want to pay it ourselves because we don't like our money going to schools and hospitals and budget deficits and other nasty things.
It means we have more money to spend on little hats and pictures of flowers and festivals with Kate Nash and yummy treats for our social media consultants, and other nice things!

If you have a problem with the price of the Smoothies, don't buy them, they're not forcing you to. Yes, they are more expensive than a piece of fruit because you're paying for someone to come up with the flavour combination, someone to design the bottle, an ad, the bottle itself, someone to be in charge of paying all the people who do this. I'm sure Innocent don't mind the VAT going towards schools and hospitals because none of it goes towards making sure that politicians can make massive expense claims to the tune of more than a lot of people earn in a year...
― calpolaris (nakhchivan), Thursday, 25 November 2010 15:55 (thirteen years ago) link
that's a great idea whenever i'm up for tax evasion

If you have a problem with the price of the genocides, don't support the Khmer Rouge, even though they're forcing you to. Yes, they are more expensive than machetes because you're paying for someone to come up with the extermination camps, someone to design the infrastructure, the propaganda, the torture techniques themselves, someone to be in charge of paying all the people who do this. I'm sure righteous citizens don't mind the support going towards death and terror because none of it goes towards making sure that politicians can make massive expense claims to the tune of more than a lot of people earn in a year...

Apparently they were going to charge VAT on fat, cats, mats, tat, bats and hats... but it wasn't quite ridiculous enough an idea.

Hayes I've had enough of your antics. What do I pay you for? Just clear your desk and get out - there are plenty of people out there who would've grabbed this opportunity with bear hands but this is how you'd rather spend your time. Unbelievable.

have worked as a plumber in southern Ireland since 1986.
At that time my wife was working in the local bookmakers shop and she would eat an apple each day before work.
In the end one morning I arrived at a house and the man who owned it had passed away.
Grow up the lot of you.
