An interesting blog entry from Chris Payne: Sugar Puffs crimping Mighty Boosh style
The makers of Sugar Puffs have ‘adopted’ the crimping style of the Mighty Boosh, apparently to the annoyance of the Boosh and their fans.
The Honey Monster: Golden pips of a sunshine princess
The Mighty Boosh: Bouncy Bouncy
According to The Sun:
A source said: “A pal of the Mighty Boosh boys was lying in his pants watching daytime telly and saw the advert.
“He rang the Boosh and congratulated them on their work for Sugar Puffs.
“They were baffled and checked it out on the internet. They hadn’t been asked permission to use the style and are speaking to lawyers about getting the Honey Monster’s crimp removed from the airwaves.”
I will be interested to see whether this turns into a legal battle but my thoughts are that it is doing a lot of good for Sugar Puffs - you have to admit the advert is quite funny if you know the Mighty Boosh. And for those who don’t really know the Mighty Boosh, they may do now with all this talk of Sugar Puffs! Everyone’s a winner right?
I have become a lazy blogger… well technically I have just been a bit busy lately so until I get another chance to write a proper entry, enjoy this video…
There’s always time for Facebook!
Rhett and Link say even more about Facebook here (including the song again…)
Rhett and Link on Facebook Groups…
“It’s amazing the groups people are willing to join because of Facebook like…’I'll always love my daddy’. You don’t go up to somebody at the mall and ask them to join your ‘I’ll always love my daddy’ group but you ask them on Facebook and they’re like, ‘Yeah, you know I have always loved my daddy… i’ll be in that group.”
Their advice on photos is also very worthy. Remember, if you post something on Facebook, it’s available to the world… including Rhett and Link.
The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud’s ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn’t need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.
Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book, from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to eroticising the motorcar.
His most notorious coup was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom. But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people could be made happy and thus docile.
It was the start of the all-consuming self which has come to dominate today’s world.

In my opinion, Sony Bravia have been inspiring with their Colour Like No Other advertising campaign. Would it make me buy a Sony Bravia LCD TV? Probably not but it does make me think they are very very clever!
Would these adverts make you buy a Sony Bravia product?
