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

Love to see the phrase "wee wee wee" on something I'm about to drink

kinder, Tuesday, 23 June 2020 21:14 (three years ago) link

I just opened up a new pack of uncompostable, non-biodegradable trash bags, from a regular degular brand (Brabantia) and when I unfolded the first one I saw that it had words written on the side:

“MAKING ROOM FOR BIGGER DREAMS”

what??

What a truly horrible label, it probably isn't true innocent smoothies aesthetic, but seriously what kind of a wanker would do that to a malbec?

The Southern Impact Team were excited on Friday and making preparations to celebrate National Onion Day on the Saturday (yep - apparently this is actually a thing).
Whilst on patrol in the Arbury; hoping to find more onion enthusiasts, they instead came across a car linked to County Lines Drug Dealing.
Whilst the officers had a "spring" in their step, the occupants of the car appeared to be peeling rather nervous.
The vehicle was searched, with several wraps of Class A drugs recovered, a large amount of cash, and more worryingly, a TASER disguised as a torch.
Despite the pair protesting their innocence shallot, they were in something of a pickle and arrested.
There were tears from one of the suspects, and the officers didn't want to keep going onion about it so transported them to Parkside Custody.
During a strip search the driver of the vehicle was found with a further bundle of Class A wraps in his pants, which didn't quite onion ring true with the rest of his story.
Both were interviewed and released under investigation.

lmao oatly have sold out to amazon-destroying venture capital monsters blackstone and their social media team are tying themselves in knots trying to justify it to their many angry customers

(2/3) We know that as a relatively small oat drink company, we can’t solve the global challenge of combating climate change alone. To succeed, we’re convinced that everyone needs to start somewhere to make changes - and this includes private equity.

but what if could change the system from the inside? and if we get rich while doing it, well... money won't change me! i've got principles!

For a very brief moment I thought that you meant Amazon the company rather than Amazon the rainforest there bizarro and I got a flash of excitement at the existence of a venture capital monster that could destroy them. Then I felt sad when I realised the obvious actual meaning.

brain (krakow), Monday, 31 August 2020 14:32 (three years ago) link

Of course, a venture capital monster that could destroy Amazon (the company, not the rainforest) would probably be de facto even more horrific than Amazon themselves, but still it was a nice little daydream for a split second.

sorry 4 false hope, we are in fact still doomed, perhaps even a little more than we were before

Not to worry. If I drew cartoons it gave me an idea for a bad one.

Panel one: Angry protest outside the corporate headquarters of "Venture Capital Corp.", with protestors carrying signs saying "Amazon-destroying monsters!", "Save the Amazon!" etc.

Panel two: Bulldozers etc. (branded with "Venture Capital Corp.") in midst of destroying an Amazon.com warehouse.

I hear that advert read by Renton ala his iconic/ironic voiceover monologue in Trainspotting ("Choose Life" etc). Does this kind of thing stem from there, or elsewhere?

It could also be done in the style of 'Fitter Happier' from OK Computer.

krakow i think you could be right about that

if so it's another example of the classic evolution of satirical irony congealing into earnestness through years of overuse cf. every one of coogan's 'saxondale' mannerisms

However, until then - and for one game only - it will officially be named the ‘innocent [insert name here] stadium. The club has even erected a new sign above the main entrance.

no you fucking haven’t. you literally have not missed me. there is a database field that today’s date has triggered, and you are sending me a mailshot to try and weasel a little bit of money out of me to make this month’s figures look good so that you can boast to your colleagues and feel better about yourself on the 6:43 commuter service to radlett you disingenuous piece of...... i’m arguing with software but you get my point

i got annoyed once when an automated station announcement said "i am sorry for the late running of this service". you're not sorry you're just a pre recorded message! "we are sorry..." i could accept.
