h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

TV perfume ads have always annoyed me. But then, the futility of hawking something whose sole practical effect is smell on a medium which is intrinsically unable to demonstrate that effect means that, unless they do not advertise at all, (note to chanel, CK, etc. Do us all a favour) all they can do is show meaningless films designed to imply that their whiff is somehow inextricably linked to a particular lifestyle. (In the case of Calvin Klein this would appear to be famine and chronic colour-blindness.)

When I'm rich and famous, I'll launch my own range of designer scents. I'll start with "Smell" and expand to "Pong", "Whiff", and "Stench". I'm sure they'll go down a treat with the right advertising.

If Reggie Perrin launched his Grot shop now he'd make a packet.

Hmmm *considers scam*

Can I have www.grot.com???

*checks URL*

Damn, someone's already got it

But I loved the Gary Liniker spoof calvin klein ad for walkers crisps... made up for it all really.....

I'll let whoever nicked www.grot.com off as it led me to the essential http://www.grot.net/GROTShoppe/Computers/NoButton.htm
