The wit of marketing

If there is anyone who knows anything about psychology reading this, can you have a look at this and tell me what, exactly, someone can tell about you by the animal you'd choose to liberate/kill?

Thanks!

The plain white cups at the watercooler have been replaced with cups that advertise the Post Office's 0% commission on foreign currency. But incredibly wittily, the 0% is prefaced by a pale H2, which -- this is the clever bit -- is the chemical symbol for water! Which is what you put in the cup!

Isn't that genius?! Marketing people are the best.

I saw someone today ... well, you don't need to know, but I was thinking Muslim cleric, and then I was thinking how it really doesn't make sense that a clerk does clerical work, and not a cleric.

You all should sign up to the brilliance of Popbitch, but if you haven't, can I share this gem from today's newsletter?

Poor Bob Hope. Everyone's been waiting for him to die for years. His obituary in London's Evening Standard newspaper was written by Alexander Walker who died two weeks before him. And the one in the New York Times was written by a journalist, Vincent Canby, who died in 2000.

Well, maybe that's been everywhere already, but it was funny for me. If I knew how to change the font, then I'd have done that, but I don't, so there it is in italics.

I really can't decide on that animal to free and to kill. I guess I'd kill a spider, a small one, because it would be neat and easier to do than ... I don't know, a giraffe.
