A very happy good day to all you intrepid Mac
UK readers out there, who had to wait another two grueling weeks
for another bout of inconspicuous rambling from beneath the roofs of
London.
Last night Birgit, the best girlfriend ever, and I were stumbling
back from Shoreditch, an area stacked with excellent bars in London's
East End. We were making our way down into the smelly intestines of
this megalopolis (also called "the tube") and, while we were standing
waiting for our train to arrive, were staring at a huge MSN UK
billboard depicting the cleavage of a blonde lady only clad in a
black bra. Not that this is an unusual depiction (this is liberal
Europe, don't forget) or that it was an unusually large cleavage, but
it was the blurb that really spoilt the whole picture: "MSN UK:
Register, Search, Buy online." That's it. Nothing more.
Maybe I'm too stupid for this ad, but somehow I just don't get it.
Why would I (or anybody, really) register with Microsoft, search and
buy online (probably in the process giving my details to that
Orwellian nightmare that is their "Passport" scheme) if I can happily
do that already with my independent ISP using Google. The mind
boggles.
What that lady with the black bra is supposed to have to do with
the product remains to be seen. So now the digital lifestyle has
finally hit the underwear barrier - we have to urge Apple to sell
their products accordingly: We could have a naked, unclad, and
tastefully groomed index finger pointing at us, surrounded by large
letters saying, "The centre of your digital universe." Or maybe Jeff
Goldblum's hairy bellybutton, full of fluff subtitled: "OS X:
cleans your hard drive automatically over night."
Good night.
