After watching this weeks My Name Is Earl where he boasts a similar sign I decided to do one myself. I really want this on a shirt and might have to get this screen printed. Best sign ever.

Although if anyone has a legitmate use for it please let me know.

I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t been watching this years Britain’s Got Talent ITV’s Cash Cow but I’ve been checking out the final acts and I’ve noticed that the final two acts aren’t very ‘new’ albeit entertaining.

Take the winner, one George Sampson. Dude can dance and put on an entertaining segment but does anyone remember the Volkswagen advert from a few years back? He used the same song and even used a few moves from that advert. The similarity’s are too close for them to be unrelated meaning at some point between the first time he was on the show he must have seen the ad and basically copied it. It would be like me going on the show and playing keepy uppy with an animated stick figure to the tune of N.E.R.D. Ok maybe it isn’t the same but you know what I mean, it would be talented and entertaining (until the animators can’t keep up with the pace of drawing live) but it would hardly be original.

The dudes who came second were basically Micheal Jackson impersonators and although again they where very talented and entertaining, its hardly original. They where also asked on the first showing “what else do you guys do?” they basically replyed “we do more stuff” or something along those lines. They then did basically the same thing three times over. WTF! Why didn’t nobody call them on this.

I guess I’ve missed a few bits where they might have admitted to these…. Shortcomings for lack of a better term, in between the clips on Youtube. Until I get told otherwise I’m calling this show on its lack of originality.

Maybe this is just my inner-design-critic coming out or something.

Either that or my lack of eventful thoughts to post about.
