BOF Posted November 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 12, 2015 I always thought Bols Advocaat was eggnog. Turns out it is similar to eggnog. Pleasant enough, not that I'd order it, but if I'm handed one at Christmas I'd probably partake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 "In reflection of recent feedback, the copy we used in our recent catalog was inappropriate and in poor taste. Bloomingdales' sincerely apologizes for this error in judgment," a Bloomingdale's representative told Tech Insider. It does seem like they really meant ha, ha, ha how funny. Rape. lolz. Not much of an apology is it? And certainly no explination from them. Have to say I'm normally one for people having a nice thick skin to words but this goes far below poor taste imo. Surely the marketing wonks who created that would be well aware of the controversy and publicity it would cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , just like I'm sure Murdoch was rubbing his hands at all the free publicity the News of the World got over hacking Milly Dowler's phone ....I get what you are saying but they are a department store not Frankie Boyle ,I'm not sure they really want this publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Karl Pilkington. About as funny as a kick in the bollocks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2015 Karl has jumped the shark a bit. His TV shows aren't that great. Too scripted and set up. But back in the day of the ricky gervais podcasts and their XFM radio shows he's one of the funniest people I've ever heard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Tbf I watch it now because they send him to some interesting places rather than because I'm finding him funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 19, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2015 Never watched him. Don't like the premise and don't buy the I'm an idiot stuff. Go away Karl. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Out of the blue my kid bought me a bluray of his first series, I struggled to hide the disgust, and because I am a clearing in the woods I said I find him the least entertaining and least funny on television and its the most inappropriate present since my sister bought me the go west album when I was a devout ramones fan.

Xela Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Agree with Stevo, the XFM shows (think they are all on youtube) were comedy gold. Haven't listened to them in a while, might give them another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Yup, it was just a simple guy from Manchester who found himself producing a radio show (quite small time too). Now it's multimillionaire Karl Pilkington acts simple whilst in interesting places. It's like rap, you can't rap about being in the ghetto when you live in a 10,000sqft mansion surrounded by fine ass pussy 24/7, it's not believable. Maybe we could shoot Karl a few times? Still love him/gervais/merchant though! Edited November 19, 2015 by lapal_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
