"You are four times as likely to die in a house fire if you don’t have a working smoke alarm. For more information on the fire safety campaign, please check online at www.facebook.com/firekills."

RKCR/Y&R and the Department for Communities and Local Government are making an association between smoke alarm testing and the clock change, by showing stark imagery of clocks which have been destroyed by a fire.

'British summer time comes to an end soon. Make sure you don’t. When you change your clock, test your smoke alarm'

Dude becomes a WAG because he likes the easy life. And therein lies the funny. Anyone else in serious lust for a battery-driven gold-plated spork now?

Müller Wünderful Stuff- (2011) :90 (UK)

TBWA London launched this 90 second advert for Müller's Yogurt on the X Factor show on ITV.
It stars famous 2D characters such as Yogi Bear, Muttley and the Mister Men, and opens with KITT getting a ticket. That will not do, says the Müller bot who attacks and transforms the parking attendent. This is very odd, but a million times better than hearing that Nina Simone song abut arms and legs again. Mmm. I'm kinda hungry for yogurt now, but afraid I might turn into Betty Boop.

Girl on the platform smile
The boy thought, thats the best smile he has seen for a while

She must have been about 26?....28?......28
And her skin looks really really great
She was a natural blond
She wasn't natural blonde
But that's what made me fond of her

She was off to Hull? Leeds? Wigan?
Off to Wigan, the home of pies
With her beautiful, beguiling eyes
And she looked at the boy with the 'fancy pants' words
And she began to dance

She began to dance
Oh....oh...
She began to dance
She be....

Girl on the platform smile
The boy thought, thats the best smile he has seen for a while

T-mobile have gone past the flash-mobbing and onto just messing with ya as they sent out cold, evil, bad, parking attendants around the UK to slap tickets onto unsuspecting drivers cars. "*SLAP* Welcome to Brighton!". When the drivers get upset, the cold evil parking attendants keep a straight face for as long as possible, armed with snappy retorts like "If you've got an issue here's a tissue". It really is a miracle nobody clocked them. Now as the music (Dire Straits, Money for nothing of course) reaches crescendo the gag is revealed. It wasn't a ticket. It was T-mobile money! Actual cash! Got you.

Orange loves customers so much that they now sponsor films to have telephone breaks so that people can call their cats at home when they're at the cinema.... Yes, that's a really dumb idea and even Orange thinks so, just humor them for a minute while they pretend people like this idea. It's as silly as you'd expect.

Murdoch runs a "We are sorry" full page press ad

The text of this apology ad reads as follows:

We are sorry
The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account.
It failed when it came to itself.
We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred.
We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.
We regret not acting faster to sort things out.
I realise that simply apologising is not enough.
Our business was founded upon the idea that free and open press should be a positive force in soceity. We need to live up to this.
In the coming days, as we take further concrete steps to resolve these issues and make amends for the damage they have caused, you will hear more from us.
Sincerely
-- Rupert Murdoch

Dove talked to women on the street and asked them "What do you love about your body?". Turns out no woman can answer that about herself, but they have no problem pointing out the beauty they see in their friends.
