@ brix, fashion tv and cnn you say? Bother, if it was BBC i might have considered. I take my american news as i take medication: TIMEly. But for a decent balanced view BBC is great in the need of wit and humour. Besides, all those bloody americans are tossers,the bloody lot of them!
(I wonder if posts like this gets picked up by intelligence...probably does)
@ psycho, cell c have never really struck me as brilliant and clever, so let me share my thoughts and opinions quickly. A smart move, the most brilliant advertising campaigne. But it is the Ad reps who come up with the idea, and a smart lady from cell c that gives the go-ahead for them.
Business sense, of the roughly 33-35million subscribers they have 2.5 million. Mtn has a little more than half of what the weasel network has. A typical strategic move from cell c would be to subtly crit the other networks, like with the network portability thing, like a cat on a bird they jumped on the thing that they were for implementing it at the set date...

...and that the other fat cat networks were not. Okay, quick and witty response from them, but sometimes i sense that cell c is more of a in joke than a company that is proving by performance, but on the other hand writing all this made of realise one thing: i dont know if i like cell c. I know i wont use them and i like their ads, but where the tyre meets the road, that is another story. I chose years ago not to make emotional choices based on advertising, but to go by the facts.(not sold in stores Janice because its a load of crap!)
So it comes down to one of my favourite sayings: which network will you be screwed by.
To make my point, or more accurately put, to mildly massage my point of communications being a 'screw yourself' market, look at this, it is crap expensive!

...the first1 being 'are you sure your cellphone is switched on?'. I got so angry with one of the reps, she was obnoxious and called me by a diminuitive of my first name. I lost my temper. Francois, Cell C hasnt given me any problems but for their reps!

@ Mario,
I read the article on the Dispatch's website, but didn't see it mentioned in the papers here; then again I don't follow all the papers, and I stay well away from the tabloids.

Ok, where do I start...The whole "hijacking scare" was a joke that should be treated as such. I spoke to the police's spokesperson and the guy who made the threat will probably just get a fine and a suspended prison sentence.
Why can't mario2004 just be honest for once and say that "I think all black people are criminals". If you can say that I'll respect you for your honesty but for the time being stop all the BS.
@francoislr: Cell C's adverts won't make me change networks...I'm perfectly happy with Vodacom...never had issues with MTN but Cell C...they can't even send me GPRS settings OTA.
@siosal: I prefer CNN over BBC...I've always thought BBC was a bit staid and old-fashioned...maybe it's the whole BBC accent I don't get. CNN is a much better news channel.

@ psycho, lol! I have no personal experience with cell c whatsoever, but then again, i probably would humour them on the stupid questions. 'is on when you are talking on the phone? Then in that case no, i think my telepathic senses logged into your mind. Yes i am just a part of your mind. I am a disembodied voice, and you seem to respond to me...' lol! I am almost tempted to buy a cell c sim now:)
@ brix, i have pissed myself at the bbc reporters. Sometimes they make the most subtle hints and these snide comments that just hits the right spot. Always been a sucker for brit humour:) i grew up on cnn, but we did not have any better. But i am out of it. I dont watch tv as such anymore. Get all the programming i want and need from the network at work, and it is without commercial breaks:) who needs more? But in the same breath, that thing that sets BBC apart for me pops up often in time magazine aswell, but in a different arena. I like my news to have a bit of fun in there aswell.

Sorry for the weird link, but here's a hilarious 'dubbing' of the LOTR 3 ending. Download the 2nd LOTR clip on the search list (8.2MB) by right-clicking and selecting 'save target as.'
It's been on the net for a couple of years now, and some of you guys might have seen it before, but I still find this er... alternative LOTR ending delightful...
