Nike Supersonic goes Machadaynu

Bizarrely received a Facebook update from the Nike + Supersonic group telling me that the group has been renamed. Ooooh, exciting, I thought. Does this mean that there is a new Nike campaign on its way?

On clicking, the awnser is a resounding, WTF? It is now called "Machadaynu", apparantly in homage to a comedy song created for 2005 BBC show "Look around you". I say again, WTF?

Is this some subversive new campaign for Nike? An AKQA cock-up? A bit of hacking? A Facebook glitch? Seeing as the update was by one "Nicky Griffin", perhaps it's a BNP party political broadcast.

Either way, the group only has a pitiful 172 members, so its not the most public gaff. And besides, it prompted me to look for the original song, and the remix is ace. 

The Crasher Squirrel - Bazil goes nuts

It all started with this amazing appearance of this squirrel in a couple's holiday snap as featured in the Sun. And now it's doing an Aretha's Hat, and appearing in a whole load of other places. Go Bazil Nutts!

After a few cheeky emails to the Sun. The crasher squirrel got itself featured in the paper again. Apparently we are "net geeks". Cool. Our little meme has made it onto Mashable and the Daily Telegraph. Where next for the furry fella?
