Great Viral Ads no. 19: Between wanting a Porsche & owning one

A TV spot that’s gained traction on the web.

Sainsbury’s to Stop Selling Battery Eggs

UK supermarket giant Sainsbury’s has announced that it will stop selling battery farm eggs from caged birds from early next month.

The plight of caged hens has been well-known for decades in the UK – it’s barbaric, cruel and unnecessary to keep birds in conditions that make their lives short, painful and miserable.

Like most people I know, I have been buying only free range eggs as long as I can remember. The extra 20p or so per 6-pack is a small price to pay to live in the knowledge that those creatures that provide us with food are not suffering.

How refreshing that a major supermarket is finally taking the step forward.

Now it’s time to put pressure on Tesco, ASDA and Morrisons to do the same.

Steve Jobs Countdown to Death Website

If you’re reading this and you haven’t seen it, then please don’t go onto Google and look for it, but somebody has put a website together with an Apple ‘countdown to iPhone’-style timer to Steve Jobs’ supposed death.

I know it takes all types to make the world go round, but seriously, was that really necessary?

Steve Jobs has revolutionised the world of personal computing, as well as online and offline music and most recently mobile communications. His retirement is sad enough.

I can only imagine how I would feel if someone did something like that to me.
