Got a laugh out of this one:

…thanks ta!
I suppose the Moreland Leader is under resourced like so many organisations are these days, so between the cleaner and the work experience guy who answers the phones, they have to get a lot done to get an issue out the door.
Not surprising then, that little things go astray, like this beautifully edited page […]

If you’re hanging around the streets of Melbourne, keep a happy face on. I saw a car on Macarthur Avenue crossing Royal Parade yesterday, that looked very much like the Google Street View car that was seen in Geelong last year. Big thing of cameras and a little round GPS aerial on top of the […]

Like a million others, I got a laugh out of ‘Will it blend?‘ - where everyday items meet their doom on the spinning blades. I’m sure I’m not alone, though, in wanting to give that guy a slap - his self satisfied demeanour and spotless lab coat… and let’s face it it’s still a ad […]

The next ad was the exploding paint - again brilliant and memorable, […]

Shouldn’t laugh at the misfortune of others - however small - but Apple’s website is usually so perfect, everything in its place, that when there is a problem you’ve gotta make the most of it! In this case, the hoary old chestnut, the nemesis of graphic designers everywhere - forgotten placeholder text.

Don’t you just love it? Unbridled, blind optimism is virtually mandatory if you want to be a Collingwood fan, but with the triumphant and emphatic return of Nathan Buckley, the imminent return of Josh Fraser and the return of belief and form for the rest of the team, optimism is running at such high levels […]
