How do you explain half current to a 2 year old? How do you tell him he cannot watch Barney because the current is not full. As far as he is concerned, so long as the light bulb is on, albeit in dim mode and the fans are moving [although at slo mo], then the next thing to do is play Barney. How do u tell him that the quarter current that NEPA gifted us with cannot power the TV, without damaging it?

Heard a radio ad recently advertising ‘inspiring insults’. Inspiring insults? Hello!!!!!!!!! Thank God for mobile telephony and its benefits and all but selling insults by SMS is taking it too far, i feel.

Picture this. 

 Its the end of the year and the company peddling these insults [and other mobile solutions] meets to discuss their performance for the year. Each brand/sales manager stands up to defend their performance for the year and presents their projections for the future. When it comes to the turn of the Brand Manager-Insults, he goes:

“We sold X number of insults in 2008. This is not too far from our projections as predicted at the beginning of the year. But next year, we hope to sell more insults. We have put a team in place to make our insults more edgy and daring. We are also looking at importing some insults from the US and UK. We are certain these imported insults will become quite a hit. We feel insults are a viable business and if given the right support, they will  become our flagship product, overtaking ‘jokes’ and ‘news’ as our cashcow in the foreseeable future.  Insults are the future, they remain the only growth frontier available to this organization”.

Its a crazy world we r living in.
