We do love a good ad for a new product. But sometimes we are not always sure what the product does. Take this online ad for example. A sporty-looking woman is perched upon what looks like a portable toilet. Or maybe it’s a seat designed for a post-workout rest. Or could it be a mini washing machine? We still haven’t figured out what it’s for, but at least she’s enjoying it (see below).
We are looking forward to the new Apple Vision Pro, but this ad doesn’t quite do it for us. Not sure what a crop of curly hair has to do with spatial computing goggles, but we’d prefer to see the product itself. Or perhaps the model was actually wearing the goggles but they just weren’t tall enough to appear on the poster (see above).
Customer reviews can be really useful, especially when it comes to books or a hotel, Some are really in-depth, while others are short and sweet. And then there’s this brutally honest example. ‘This game is the worst, I never win!” doesn’t really inspire us to play the game. Surprisingly, this poor review was featured by the game developer itself.
We at The Spin are news junkies with a fondness for British media. However, GB News still hasn’t made it onto our list. And with headlines like this one, perhaps you can see why. This headline asks more questions than it answers. We gather it’s about a farm, but we gave up after that.
What better way to find the latest must-reads than a trip to the Emirates Literary Festival? And it seems our book-loving friends have created a new position – chariman.
We’re not sure what a chariman actually does, but we hope it’s a step up from plain old chairman. One author at the festival, Anthony Horowitz, saw the funny side of a typo in his name. (It was changed to Anthiny). He joked it was a compliment being called a thinny, not a fatty.
And how’s this very visual representation of an allergy for, you guessed it, cats.
Such allergies are definitely not to be sniffed at, but then again, neither is animal cruelty. Sticking a cat up someone’s nose is not a sn-easy thing to do, and painful for you and the poor kitty.
