Note: This was written in a more visual sense as I plan to record this.
Web advertising is a double edged sword to me. On one side, it's a neccesary evil. On the other, it's about as souless as a brick forged by the Demonic House Building Company.
There's a few different types of advertising, which we shall use in the example of a shop selling goods. This is my reasoning on how certain forms I can stand and others I specifically download a program so I can set fire to them.

More Operation Gnomeregan... Gnews
NOTE: The site should be faster now, it was almost destroyed by over 300 spam posts in a single article. Lesson learned.
A recent update to the WoW-Europe.com site says that the operation to reclaim Gnomeregan is imminent. Whether that means 3.9 will come sooner than I thought or not, it's got some juicy content. Even better, it proves the Blizz team are on a similar wavelength to me.
All the Lore fluff aside, it includes a few pictures and one particulary interesting poster.

[Radio Production] Podcast Piece
We needed to make a brief podcast on a Music Genre, which I did with a little flair. It's called "General Genre" (listen to see why) and it's about Synthpop.

Football - A Diamond-Encrusted Mugs Game
For my Writing for Broadcasting course, we've been given the task of writing 300 words or so on Football; debating on whether it's a good thing or pretty sucky.
Obviously this is being written for Radio, and kind of needs to be neutral. I forgot about that at first:
Ah well, back to the drawing board.
Obviously this is being written for Radio, and kind of needs to be neutral. I forgot about that at first:
...I went to the cinema recently and was subjected to an advert for a generic sports brand of clothing. The ad entailed of numerous people, clearly at their place of work, instead playing with a football than actually being useful to the worlds economy. That group of people probably single-handedly lost Wayne Rooneys daily wage in the space of thirty seconds. Arseholes.
This idea of Football being the one true escapism from the drudges of normal life is pretty tedious. It's a sport, not a ticket to surefire glory and "bitches in the back" or whatever the kids call it. The amount of effort that people put into their obsession with the game can be scary. Football Manager is a strong testament to the lenghts people will go to to make sure their Pixel Perfect dream team dominates the globe with an iron boot.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.
