I’ve tended to avoid writing about religion because of how sensitive it can be in Singapore and the fact that I know a number of people who occasionally read my blog are religious.

Old Spice needs a tag of its own now
I have to say, with everything they have done, including real time twitter responses, the Old Spice ad campaign is the most memorable and fun one I have seen in a while (maybe ever).

Brain Dead
In lieu of a properly thought out and written blog post, have some awesome Old Spice commercials. Has there been a more awesome advertising campaign? With a more awesome spokesperson?

Gender and Colour
Found this on the xkcd blog (linked to by When Fangirls Attack). In brief, the guy who does the xkcd comics did a colour survey in which people were asked to name colours they see on the screen. The findings are quite interesting, especially this part about the most popular colour names by gender. Also,… Continue reading »
