I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
wirestory: it was a joke - sent out April 30 and confirmed by Microsoft sources.
REDMOND, Washington (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. said a company news release that it was developing a portable toilet with Internet access, called an "iLoo," was a hoax perpetrated by its British division.
The April 30 release, issued by the company's MSN Internet division in the United Kingdom, said Microsoft was developing a portable toilet with a wireless keyboard and an extending height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat. The iLoo was to debut at festivals this summer in Britain.
"This iLoo release came out of the UK office and was not a Microsoft sanctioned communication and we apologize for any confusion or offense it may have caused," Microsoft spokeswoman Bridgitt Arnold said late Monday.
The fake release generated coverage by The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press and Reuters.
The Associated Press received confirmation of the project from both Microsoft Corp.'s Waggener Edstrom public relations firm and London-based Red Consultancy, which handles such work for the software giant in England.
In an e-mail sent last week to The Associated Press, Red Consultancy's Ben Philipson wrote "MSN is really working on building a prototype for the Summer festivals, perhaps Glastonbury ... This is very much a 'toe in the water' experiment to gauge interest so we'll have to see how it goes, although judging from response so far it's really captured people's imagination!"
Malina Bragg, who helps with MSN's account for Waggener Edstrom, also said last week that the project was real.
g-strings aren't as bad as micro-strings (link not safe for work...). I don't mind g-strings [my bikini is one]. Micro-bikini's seems a bit, uh, why not go nude, really?
I like little bathing-shorts, though I wear mine in my size.... ;-) (that looks really cramped, even on a wee girl like Heidi.)
I never buy bathing suits from H&M though, so if I like the suit doesn't matter. I probably never will either. Cheap suits don't do me.
I find myself agreeing with Andy. I seldom buy magazines (only on flights - the rest my office already has) and it is largely due to my hatred of ripping out all the dang inserts before i can read it (don't get me started on the "article continues on page 167b" after only one short paragraph...grr!)
I've switched all my normal banks to internet banks - so that I won't get a heavily stuffed statement in the mail offering me all kinds of crappy loans targeted to someone my age who's not at my stage in life - I don't have kids so don't send me save for college crap! I don't freaking want a summer house yet! I don't need a wallet with the banks logo on it! If I want a loan - I'll ask what the bank has to offer! GRR!
spam is hell - the abundance of it ruins email as a communication /person-to-person) media. I'd liken it to blasting commercials on my phone whenever I make a call - except of course, in the case of SPAM, the receiver pays for it. Triple GRRR!
Does anyone else remember the Johhny Walker campaign of the eighties? The ads always showed women - jogging on a beach, lounging together at a bar or such, and their discussion: "He's tall and handsome.." - "AND he drinks Johhny Walker Red".
I've walked a mile around Johhny walker and Johhny walker drinkers ever since. We're they trying to sell it to women? Or men who wanted women?
