Welsh Wales…

Give us their Newport (not New York), state of mind…

Not sure this came the tourist board, but who cares. It’s a perfect slice of Friday afternoon joy. I think the China / twinning line be my favourite. What’s yours?

Old ladies and children swearing…

…always seems to raise at least a chuckle, even from the grumpiest of old men. And they almost guarantee viral potential.

PLEASE NOTE: This video contains multiple expletives. Some of which are mildly amusing, but if you don’t like the f word (and I don’t mean the Gordon Ramsay programme), look away now…

Given this and the torrent of media coverage surrounding the disaster, it’s amazing to witness the anti-lobbying sentiment bubbling out of America right now.

Far be it from me to point out the irony there…

Smile for the camera my precious…

Not many can muster sinister alongside a hint of cheeky charm like Mandy can…

The knowing grin to camera 18′ in is just outstanding. A cheeky ad (that will keep him, the book and the hype, The Times in the media a little longer), so congrats to all involved at The Times and CHI. As an aside, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when dear Lord Mandy starts his Hogwards for spin-doctors classes…

Coldplay get a camp makeover…

Stand down lawyers. No slurs as to the sexuality of any band members are being made here…

The BBC Glastonbury coverage was fabulous as always. Why mix with the great unwashed and deal with portaloos when you can sit in the comfort of your own home and watch Glasto in luxurious surroundings?!

Needless to say, The Pet Shop Boys Coldplay cover of ‘Viva la Vida’ was rather amusing.

Regal. Camp. Priceless. Why it can only be Coldplay Pet Shop style…

Kick a (former) royal when they are down…

Talk about a right royal rumpus…

My favourite part of the whole Prince for cash scandal, was her asking ‘You’re not from the News of the World, are you!?’. However, this cheeky little spoof from DLKW to support TAFKAP / Prince / the Purple Quality Street ones new album giveaway, is rather amusing…

As an aside, if you haven’t already read about TAFKAP / Prince / the Purple Quality Street ones views on the internet, read them here. Hilarious…

Iain G. Morrison is a senior marketer in the British tourism industry. And loves a bit of salacious scandal as much as the next marketer…
