I’ve just started my new London ad campaign. Not really, just found this cool bus slogan generator.

Tussauds
My parents have been visiting this weekend and we decided to visit Madame Tussauds. It turns out that the dummies aren’t all made of wax. My Dad was waiting patiently away from the crowds in the world leaders section when a foreign tourist decided to take a few snaps!
I’ve no idea who they thought he was. Either they were genuinely mistaken, or had no interest in what they were seeing and snap happy!

Check out this publicity stunt to promote the new Simpsons movie. Next to the 150ft fertility figure at Cerne Abbas. Apparantly, the pagans are trying to perform a rain dance to wash it away.
Nicely.

Internet weirdness strikes again. This one has been around for a little while I think, well at least since the Family Guy episode. Rick rolling is tricking people into watching the video for “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley.
So, check out this link, thats not Rick Astley – YouTube

Geek Graffitti
I was on the escalators at Angel station yesterday, merrily reading the adverts. I noticed a new play starring John Simm call Elling. As I found out from my mate Steve, he also recently played “The Master” in the latest series of Doctor Who.
Someone had scrawled “The Master” above his photo on every single one of the ads! Gotta be one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen on the tube. It used to be fake moustaches or some viral marketing scheme.
BBC take note, looks like generation Y likes Doctor Who. The franchise continues….

The Ducks are Massing
Just read this on The Register. How real it is, I don’t know. But it’s one the the bizarrest things I’ve ever heard. Basically, a shipping container of 30,000 yellow plastic ducks as lost during a storm in the mid-pacific back in 1992. Most of the ducks went south and washed up in Australia. But about 10,000 headed north on a (currently) 15 year adventure. The floated around the north pacific for a few years and ended up in the Arctic. Here they became frozen in pack ice as they moved into the atlantic. During this ordeal they’ve been bleached white.
The ice has thawed and some have washed up in the Hebrides (2003). An American has been tracking their journey and has said that they may end up washing up on British beaches. The west country will start to see them first.
Apparently they’ve been known to fetch up to £500 on eBay. I only hope my mum finds them when walking the dog. I know she reads this, so take note!
UPDATE: The company that produced them is apparantly offering £50 for each one found!
