It was a company determined to stick it to the fat cat (the corrupt big six energy providers to be precise) and save the world.

Overpriced energy is here to stay, Britain.

In case you don't get it, her bum does look big.

The Advertising Standards Authority banned the above ad – and boy did it generate column inches. And that’s exactly what it’s all about.

Good job.

The key and only question is raised by this blog post on that blog post:

But Godin glosses over a crucial point: if newspapers disappear, will long-form, investigative journalism really be able to sustain itself on the public ‘paying for it one way or another’? Will the general public, or the government, be interested in financing tomorrow’s Woodwards and Bernsteins? Can we depend on ourselves to seek out and support quality over quantity and immediacy?

I think we can, and it’s already happening faster than the newspapers can keep up.

After hearing about Johan Lehrer’s “How we decide” on the Guardian’s brilliantly dumbed down Science Weekly podcast, it seems I have been inundated with articles about neurology, i.e. how the brain works. Much of it written by Lehrer himself – like this article on how to “hack your brain” by inducing hallucinations.

Although doubtless very few people have bothered to actually look up swine ‘flu, the hysteria is spreading far and wide – and people are starting to map its progress using Google Maps. It’s been a while since we had a terrifying health scare, so put it into a bit of perspective by reading this excellent Huffington post piece.

“I’d prepare for when the economy pics up again, whether in two years or so, more likely four years, and I’d invest it in a jobs site and a property site – because when it turns, it will turn quite quickly and be an online experience. It’s going to be absolutely huge.”

This is interesting because a) it has little to do with conventional media and b) because he sees the current crises in the labour and property markets today as reasons it will go online in the future.

In other words, he is implying that the current retooling of the world economy will precipitate a sudden switch to online marketplaces that would not have occurred otherwise.
