OMG Marketing people infuriate me

Why are there 3 brands of water on my desk?

Water is water, surely. Why is it "Australia's premium spring water" or "Australian Spring water for Australia" or "the spring water for Australians"? I'm not sure. They kinda taste the same.

They're actually just water.

None of them are a shonky orange juice/vodka/in a water bottle mix that we took into the cricket 100 years ago so are much less likely to get you in trouble now.

Top 10 Music Videos

In no particular order.....

The criteria considered here was that a video had to not only be incredible, but it had to have changed the face of music video by its existence.  A lot of otherwise brilliant videos were ruled out as a result.  The final list...

  1. Take On Me - AHA
  2. Rock DJ – Robbie Williams
  3. Money for Nothing – Dire Straits
  4. Sledgehammer – Peter Gabriel
  5. Thriller – Michael Jackson
  6. Material Girl – Madonna
  7. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
  8. Weapon of Choice – Fat Boy Slim
  9. Everybody Hurts – REM
  10. Around The World – Daft Punk

An honorable mention goes to ‘Baby One More Time’ by Britney Spears.
