Than how is that different from a woman calling a guy daddy? I.E. Wanting to make the guy a father using the same method you laid out for us.

Because typically when women call their sexual partners daddy they are pretending he is their daddy. Women don't really tend to get all that excited about making a man a father, despite spermjacking stories. I think the daddy thing is gross, but I guess it's pretty common.

Anyway, since we're sharing, I call my boyfriend gently caress me from behind.

I thought "papi" was equal to "mami" when it came to terms of endearment, but I guess it's more loaded.

We refer to our sex partners as "mama," "daddy," "baby," and "grandpa"

Well, this made me take a look so it's probably a pretty good move in marketing. Still a bad move in prose writing, though.

Longstreet didn't care about victory. He only wanted peace. no, that wasn't quite true. He wanted an end to the dying. The thought was always in his mind, low and monotonous, like a monk's murmuring devotions. The sooner the dying stopped, the sooner they all might resume living.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
If you're a cellphone company and some journalist starts doing stories on how insecure and vulnerable to hacking your data system is, then you probably should not hack her cell phone records to try to find out where she's getting her information:

quote:

An internal Vodafone email, reported by the Australian, shows the company was aware of the extent of the security breaches and the potential legal and reputation damage of hacking a journalist’s phone.

The head of fraud management and investigations for Vodafone Group, Colin Yates, wrote to then global corporate security director Richard Knowlton that there was a “huge risk” to the company if the hacking of O’Brien’s phone “gets into the public domain”.

“If the issue relating to breaching the reporter’s privacy by searching her private call records and text messages gets into the public domain, this could have ­serious consequences given it is a breach of the Australian Telecommunications Act,” Yates wrote.

“And would certainly des­troy all of the work done by VHA [Vodafone Hutchison Australia] over the past months to try and restore their reputation.”

Oh.

I don't remember the brand but I saw some videos for a van a few months ago. It's about a guy who doesn't believe how great the van is so he... gets tortured. In one version they tie him up in the driver seat and tumble the van with some kind of crane. In another they put him in a cage in the back and throw meat around and then let lions in there. In the end they clean the van of blood. It seriously looks like somebody used the van to rape and dismember people. :wtf:

In both versions the guy is scared and clearly not enjoying what's happening to him, and the voice over is all :smug: about it.

Does anyone have the links? I don't remember seeing the videos lately so maybe they got recalled.

There's an ad on facebook for the new Sony Xperia Z5 mobile phone, with the tagline "The only that's better is everything". Perhaps they missed the word "thing" in there, but even so, they're trying to tell us that everything else is better than their phone? Que?

I always thought Svedka's slogan for their sexy robot campaign was poorly thought out. When they say "Voted best vodka of 2033" it makes me think they're saying it will take until 2033 before Svedka is considered good.

I think the same thing. Not sure what type of alcohol awards there are but it makes me think "Oh no other awards or anything so you have to make something up". But I still drink it if theres a mail in rebate so whatever.

I looked this up since I've never heard about it before, and I don't think that the slogan was the campaign's biggest problem.

I dunno, I'd give it a shot as long as the relevant orifice doesn't make horrifying blender noises.

But that sells me on the wifubot, not the vodka, so unless each bottle comes with some serious coupons they've got a problem.
