The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster had it's first wedding last week. No, I hadn't heard of it until I read about it in the Guardian, but it's a spoof religion who's dogma is 'we don't believe in dogma', so this appeals to the more sceptical, ironically biased person the street. I don't think we'll see it sharing alternate Sunday morning services with the Baptists.
The head of WPP, the world largest advertising company is getting £63 million in pay and shares this year. I'm sure he's worth it, but I'm always amazed at how much credence companies put on advertising/marketing when you're pinning your hopes on some sections of the population being drawn into your world instead of someone Else's. I wonder what a world without advertising would look like?
