Crazy little thing the web (oh please make it stop!)

This web thing. Crazy, right? Just so much of it; so many networks, socials, twitbooks, facefeeds... Virals are good, viruses are bad... Criminey, how's a guy supposed to keep up?

Don't panic. Pete Codella's here. And he's gonna sing you a song that will fix your fuddled little head right up about this whole crazy web 2.0 communities thing

OK. Did you see it through to the end? And you're still able to read through your tear/vomit-filled eyes? Good.

So, first thing here is not to think about how that's 2.57 minutes of your life that you're NEVER going to get back (that's right, it's not even three minutes long, baby - how's that for proving time is relative?). You gotta think about how you'll never actually be Pete Codella. You're not him. He is. Pete Codella is Pete Codella so you don't have to be. That there's a cautionary tale in 2.57 agonising minutes. There's few horror movies as effective in 10 times the time. You might still go camping in the woods, swimming in the sea or fool around with your girl whilst reading from the Necromonicon, but you're NEVER going to think about turning your IT presentation into a quirky music video!

Pete's blog to accompany this... piece... states 'I’ve been reminded that creating a different kind of product for your industry helps set you apart.'

Yes, Pete. You have truly set yourself apart. To recap: Viral is good, virus is bad, and shit awful is shit awful no matter what kind of twisted spin you want to put on that sucker.

Keep th' faith,

Microsoft's Puking Woman ad makes people sick

Microsoft's latest ad for Internet Explorer 8 treats us to watching a woman vomit. Repeatedly.

Then brings on Dean Cain to 'make sense of it all'. Talk about the continued 'curse of superman' - dude's career has truly died.

Unsurprisingly, the ad has been pulled. One thing to say: Fire the Creatives.

Keep th' food down,
