HMV Compendium

I'm getting sick of various HMV-related posts clogging up the blog, so here they are, all put together:

Sunday, 21 October 2007 - HMV Again...

I got another e-mail from HMV today, this time with the subject line: "Nobody puts Sunday Film Club in the corner...". What are HMV going to do if I do put it in the corner? Beat me up? Kill me?

If I keep getting e-mail from them with bizarre/threatening headers I'm going to unsubscribe from their mailing list. And what will HMV do then? Probably just not send me e-mails about offers any more...

Monday, 22 October 2007 - Yet More HMV

Another day, another bizarrely headed e-mail from HMV. This time the subject header is: "Table Tennis: We loved it so much we wrote an essay!"

Good for you, you sad tossers.

Friday, 26 October 2007 - Even More HMV

Got another e-mail from HMV today. Subject line: "Welcome to your first Christmas newsletter".

It's. Oct. Fucking. Tober.

Ugh...

***

Anyway, that's the lot. I'll leave you with a thought - imagine how pissed off HMV would have been if they'd been called HIV - and then HIV was invented/discovered/whatever. Oh, the rebranding costs!

Random Shite

I just got sent an e-mail from HMV with the subject line: "Go all the way with Jonny". What? I... I don't even know who Jonny is. Why the fuck would I want to go "all the way" with him? That's... that's just wrong. Ugh.

Anyway, I was just watching a bit of that Leave Us Kids Alone on BBC3, and one of the parents said of their teenagers: "He's like a one-man idiot". Um... what? How... how does that work? Are idiots normally Siamese twins or split-personality sufferers or something? I... I don't understand.

Oh, also today, I went into a lecture to find that someone had left an big empty bottle of vodka stuff on the floor:

That must have been a fun lecture for somebody.

Oh, and some news hot off the press - tonight a man wandered into our front yard and cut the wire off the discarded freezer lying there. He then wandered off with his prize. Bizarre.
