A 90 minute movie and it’s on for 150 minutes. Seriously 60 minutes of adverts for 90 minutes of content. America go home you are drunk. Is it any wonder netflix has taken off like it has?
The reason eBay is no good for buyers
Well actually eBay the worlds largest tat bazzar is actually no good for sellers either but for buyers the saying buyer beware has never been more accurate.
Take for example the regular scams that appear. Okay some of them are not exactly scams but they are dubious. It would be easy for eBay to stamp them out but they get fees from the sale so they don’t really care if it’s good for the purchaser or if they get ripped off.
Take for example the idea of selling the URL for a website – crazy you think right? Well no. TV Catch Up is a website that allows you to watch UK freeview on the web or indeed a specially formatted version for the iPhone. Now I’ve been using it for ages and it’s really rather cool.
Now some wag has decided to take screen grabs of this running on their iPhone and sell this idea on eBay.
So for 99p or more you can pay to be sent the URL to a freely accessible website. More importantly you can sell the URL for a website you don’t own or work for or have any affiliation with. Money for old rope? I think so!
Feel free to search on eBay and pay to watch freeview on your iPhone but it will be cheaper and easier to do a search online or simply type in http://tvcatchup.com/ to your browser.
On another related note eBay should also ban people from posting in the wrong category. If I narrow my search by phone I don’t want to see adverts for ‘software’ or accessories, I want to see phones…

Soccer tricks in your undies – Bonds Advert
This curly haired lad is hardly your typical underwear model, yet he’s the star of the latest Australian ad campaign from Bonds- the short. But he’s not one of those chiselled beefcakes we’re used to in undies adverts, in fact he’s a gawky teen but he does have incredible footie skills.
Watch him strip down to his underwear while balancing a soccer ball, even pausing to use his clothes as a skipping rope! More of the latest bonds undies adverts at bonds.com.au

I love the internet
youTube great video sharing site a bit like flickr but for videos. So you get short films, uploaded adverts and humourless american kids who think they are funny.
Popbitch – funny as anything.
Combine the two and you get a promotion of a great (but not safe for work) video of a footballer falling out of his shorts 😉

Well this boy gets everywhere.
Well this boy gets everywhere. When I’m not bumping into him at stations I’m opening papers and seeing adverts with him in.
Reminds me of Mark [GAP mark] who we used to hang around with a lot – he is in every other advert in the gay press – along with a few videos and books too.
