paul_sss posted this in the pbs
the site claims to be by some guy who was sacked by hula hoops (a british snack).
2 minutes to look at the guestbook (which has no messages posted on weekends, ie. is moderated by 9-5ers), a look on www.nic.uk and google and you find out that the site is in fact owned by hula hoops, the company it pretends to be criticising/targetting.
this type of 'viral' marketing pisses me off. it's just a dishonest joke by some company trying to get people to part with their cash.
these sites do nothing other than give the icy hot stuntaz a bad name.

It's annoying, but it's funny. Are they (the snack) any good?

its a pretty obvious marketing stunt...
why does this get you angry?

l love hula hoops

it doesn't make me angry, it just pisses me off.
has political apathy really reached the point where we accept snack foods from the hands of tricksters and con-men?
i like hula hoops, but I for one am going to take a stand on this important issue and wait until at least lunchtime before putting aside my weak, ill thought out principles and consuming the produce of these shysters.

Its just an extension of their TV and poster camapign. Did you have a problem with them too?

I' had never considered maize snacks to be political.

I don't like Hula Hoops! I nearly choked on one in primary school. I really suffered a very difficult trama that day.......sniff!

Good crisp to choke on. Polos are best mints to choke on.

I think that the style is just fashion. You know, bt3a is cool becuase it's so slap dash. It's associated with people in their bedrooms bashing together that's brilliantly funny and unattatched from the establishment. 6Therefore has more credibility. Same with the kittens on the credits to Sara Cox's channel 4 show. I'm not keen on it.
GTA vice city did the same sort of thing.
