So even Mickey doesn’t read his own T&Cs.

In 5 years, there needs to be a brave sitcom made about a person just going around and experiencing "normal" things. Set in 2007, "Normal Things" will be the parody that catches the zeitgeist in a way that previous attempts failed.

Instead of being a serious documentary, it will be a serious comedy.

No laugh track, wisecracks or gags.

The sheer absurdity of it will be divisive, many will simply not get it.

But it will be a bold statement on the reality of daily life, winning a Tony for its stage interpretation, and the lead actor becoming a meme in the format of the new little stickers (that move!) smartphone chat apps let you attach in response to messages.

Thanks for listening to my elevator pitch.

It’s like that saying, “a watched pot never boils”. Things only happen when you’re not watching an internet.

brand diversification is not the diversity that I like to see in my star treks.

From personal experience, I can only advise that you avoid school teaching as much as possible. It’s a horrible, thankless job that puts you in numerous no-win situations. I’ll spare you the full length report, but speak to a number of teachers and you’ll hear plenty of sorry stories. Speak to any ‘good’ teacher and they’ll tell you how much it sucks to care about the job and be powerless to do it well.

You don’t find it even more fitting that in the face of a seemingly obvious problem, those 2 would pick the worst solution?

Am I missing the point?

Yes, a little. The original was: For sale, baby shoes, never worn.

He means, he'd like to meet them to ask if they'd like to buy a failing ad-space platform.
