Coffee Art @ Brown Dog

// May 21st, 2007 // No Comments » // Fun Stuff

We usually spend our Saturday mornings at a cute café in Woolloongabba called Brown Dog. This weekend Mikey ordered a latte and sent it back because it did not have a heart on the top. Christian responded with this design.

Mark then ordered a latte too, and this is what he got:

42 Below have just launched a new campaign entitled ‘Cocktail AID’ – it’s all about raising much needed funds for the AIDS Trust of Australia. Now you can do your bit for HIV research just by drinking 42BELOW.

“Being involved with an organisation of like minded people has created a unique opportunity for us to leverage our brand for a greater cause,” said Craig Schweighoffer, Australian CEO for 42 BELOW Ltd about the partnership.

42 Below if made by Pacific Dawn Distillers, and they are based in Ponsonby, Auckland. 42 BELOW is a little stronger than most other vodkas. It uses a process that is closest to the grain (wheat) based vodka of Scandinavia. 42 BELOW is made from GE-free wheat. The alcoholic content is not reduced to meet government tax levels, so gets a heavier tax. The name is supposed to refer to the southern latitude where it is produced just north of Wellington on the country’s 42nd parallel and also to its 42% alcohol content.

42 Below has been using gay-friendly marketing for some time, the above ad is from a campiagn a few years ago.

Old Spice – Manfume

// January 23rd, 2007 // No Comments » // Fun Stuff

Who would have thought that Procter & Gamble would bother wasting their time to market Old Spice. I came across a mini site to promote the benefits of what this fragrance can do for me, and I am relieved that I can’t get it in David Jones because I would have big breasted woman hurling themselves at me, and I would differentiate between a Straight 6 and V8.

I took all 50 questions of the little test, and scored 60%, which gives me the badge of Manfume Wearing Sissy.

Given your atrocious results on this test, it is immediately obvious that you rarely douse yourself in a pseudo-protective curtain of manfume, aka perfume for men. Put down the black can from Europe. We repeat: Put down the black can from Europe.

Take the test for yourself… go on, prove you are more manly than me. Post your results in the comments field below.
