Nothing to tempt your little ones here


Here's a novel concept I spotted at Spinneys this morning as I was getting ready to pay for my cheese croissant and fresh orange juice - a "parent friendly" checkout counter. And sure enough, no chocolates, no Pez, no sugary sweet things on sticks...just Nutri-Grain (ie horse food). "Cool," I thought to myself as I slowly backed up and made a sharp U-turn onto the next counter.

London 2012 Olympics - the logo that's got the world going "WTF!?"



The London 2012 Olympics logo was unveiled yesterday. The reception has been cold. Or should I say hot? As in seethingly hot.

It left one blogger wondering 'How much of my money did they blow on this pink day-glo pig's abortion of a logo, I wonder?' (the answer is a whopping 400,000 Euros by the way). Click here for more feedback from bloggers around the world. What do you think? Is it too 80s? Does it really look like a couple performing oral (blank)? Are you nauseous just looking at it, or do you just not give a damn? I thought so.
