Primark in Manchester is one of the main focal points for many people, cheap fun and you can throw it away at the end of the night! Disposable shopping has definately been a most fashionable trend, especially for all the people that can’t afford a new designer wardrobe every month. Although personally lately I think this cheap Primark shopping is becoming a fashion victims home. You used to be able to find a bargain and no one would know any better, now everyone is wearing exactly the same things, what happened to individuality??
I was further more put off by Primark (and various other comapnies) when I found that it’s not only making innocent shoppers fashion victims but also the people on the other side of the world in India victims as well. They work upto 90 hours a week on as little as 5p and day, making in total around £17-£22 a month! Nobody deserves to have to work in those kind of conditions, especially for our little shopping habits and for the financial gain of a greedy comapny.
Make sure you click on the link at the bottom of the page and download the full facts and figures and research of conditions in the factories.
Lets face it we all knew it was happening but you never seem to hear about it, so this article took some digging to find! I think there should be more publicity.
Shame on all you cheap shoppers out there!!

Missold payment protection insurance (ppi) by andy on June 19th, 2008 Following on from the bank charges scandal (which I think most people would have heard about by now), there is another consumer rebellion in the finance industry that I’ve noticed; mis-sold PPI reclaims.
Rumour has it that Apple is inviting UK media to a special event at its flagship store in London Tuesday 18th September.
Many are questioning whether Apple will be launching their highly anticipated iPhone within the UK. The event has been dubbed ‘Mum is no longer the word’ so we are guessing only time will tell.
I myself can’t wait to get hold of one of these things! Roll on the 18th if these rumours are the case.
Hans Nyberg, A Danish commercial photographer comments, “My intention with this site is to make immersive panoramic images also called VR Photography more known among the general public.
Interactive panoramas is a young media and as such it has for many years been known among enthusiastic photographers and multimedia creators. An interactive VR panorama can not be seen in a book or on a printed image. If you print the panorama it gets a completely different expression.”

Debate: On Senator McCain's Attack Ads by david on October 17th, 2008 [youtube ylq-LegkhPA nolink]
Many political watchers said last night's presidential debate was Sen.
This ad made us chuckle while watching BigBrother on Friday night….
Cadbury’s have just launched a £6.2m campaign for Dairy Milk featuring a gorilla playing the drum solo of Phil Collins’ track ‘In the Air Tonight’. The ad was written and directed by Sony Bravia ‘balls’ creative director Juan Cabral of Fallon London. Rather than wet our appeite for gorgeous tasting chocolate, the ad simply aims to entertain.
Laurence Green, planning director of Fallon, “Cadbury traditionally did well-built ads for the interruption age when consumers had an implicit media deal with advertisers. In exchange for free TV they would allow us to interrupt their programmes with commercials,” says Green. “The nation has a massive soft spot for CDM and it is deeply embedded in the national psyche. For a brand that is so well known, it’s arguable whether the old style interruption advertising model is the best model for the future. So we are trying to engage more genuinely with our audience.”
“Chocolate is about joy and pleasure. For years Cadbury has told us that it was generous, through the glass and a half strap line. We thought, don’t tell us how generous you are; show us. Don’t tell us about joy; show us joy.”
Personally, I think the ad works. Some might say the ad’s a risk due to the lack of product or even mention of the C word. Something that makes you smile so effortlessly is contagious. What do you think?
