No, I absolutely agree. However there is an even worse idea that made it to the market - I saw it on the shelves of a bakal recently......chocolate flavoured toothpaste. And it wasn't for kids either

I even bought some  It is very strange and is hidden away as 'emergency' toothpaste. Though it could be interesting for giving your chap an early morning suprise  Not that I'd know. Not having a chap  Perhaps I should try the coffee

[quote user="pollyanna" post="79450"]mind you, the idea of such a lovely lass with rancid coffee breath is a bit off putting.[quote]
I'm not entirely convinced that most blokes would notice the coffee breath, only one of our senses can work at any time and the eyes would be fairly busy.

The only bike mags that still have half naked women are those for customs and Harley's, mostly because the bikes are so horrible that a distraction is needed. Anyway, I'd much rather leer at a Ducati 1098 or 916 than any woman. Except for my wife.

intestingly (for me anyway) this rather epic article was written my a guy I used to live with back in London who used to work in advertising so actually knows a little bit about what he is talking about.
nike (as I am sure Ian Rice will comment) are well advanced on their stealth marketing. I read somewhere that they gave high end trainers to the coolest kids in schools in order to stimulate word of mouth marketing.

I also read an article on viral marketing once where good looking random strangers ("trendsetters") just come up to you in clubs, or bars, and start talking about cool new products and services in order to create word of mouth, and lay the foundations of a possible future fad. They do it subtly, of course.
At least I think it was an article. It might have been an episode of CSI: NY.

I didn't know he was a pirate. Or, you know, constipated.

In Pirate it would be:
Aye maties! It's grand so it is! (cornish accent if you please).
And of course he is constipated. He's a Scot and they never let anything go for free.

That's the effect of the coffee, it either leads you to get seriously constipated or, obviously, turns you in to a pirate.

Yes, will my pirate ASS has an eye patch over my star to keep you out my dear fellow.
Talking of pirates, I heard you were in the Pirates of Penzance, playing the part of the plank.

there was definetely at least one "trendstter" at the last party in Nexus who collected all of us together and begged begged to go to Indigo and disappeared after we (20 of us!!! u are all very good "followers" to trendsetters, guys) went in...
we saw him with his wife at a bar in cihangir a few months later, there was a very odd moment when I said, "Oh by the way why did you disappear after making us all go to Indigo that night?" (I thought he deserved that!)
