Awesome advert

Clementine often posts videos of Google’s ads on her blog, and I’ve been so impressed with them.  Here’s a particularly amazing one which I’ll be watching again and again.

Aw, poor perpetrator – bad victim

Sometimes, people do stuff which you can’t understand or explain no matter how hard you try to think of circumstances in which their actions would make sense.  A case in point: in a little town in Ireland called Listowel this week, a man was due to be sentenced for the sexual assault he’d been found [...]

I kid you not…
