Shoot him, put him out of his misery?

True, probably should

youā€™d wonder about the thinking behind a stunt like that.

I can only think that its a hangover from his former profession as a bl

Down to his last ā‚¬30 and he spent ā‚¬9 on a Euromillions ticket :joy:

Obviously it worked out for him, but what was he planning if it didnā€™t?

Badly applied cosmetics.

Thereā€™s about 15-20 college placements in my workplace at the moment and the females amongst them come in caked every day. Thereā€™s one in particular who applies some sort of brown / orange powder to her face, however, she doesnā€™t apply anything below the jawline. As a result her neck and face are a completely different colours.

He who daresā€¦

Well the awkwardness in the office was something to observe today. Everyone notice the syrup but nobody said anything until one of the lads arrived back from court, took one look at morrie and said ā€œwhat the fuck is that on your headā€

SOMETHING is not quite right in a world where people are prepared to queue on a dirty street corner at 6am for a burger.
Thatā€™s what happened today in Sydney at the insanely popular In-N-Out Burger pop-up store, which was scheduled to open from noon to 4pm.
From the start, organisers decided they would only sell 300 burgers. So they made 300 wristbands and handed them out to the first 300 people in the queue, which was several blocks long. By 11.30am, theyā€™d run out of wristbands. The burgers had already sold out.
Sure, In-N-Out burgers are legendary. The most expensive item on the menu is $5, theyā€™re made with fresh ingredients and they taste bloody delicious. Are they worth lining up in the street for? No.

But this isnā€™t about getting your hands on a mouth-watering burger. Well, maybe for that one shameless soul who offered to pay for half a strangerā€™s cheeseburger.
The people who stood in line for six hours today wanted to eat an ā€œexclusiveā€ burger available to only 300 hardcore fans, boast about it on Instagram and bask in the glow of burger superiority.
All this fuss really boils down to a few hundred people who are really, really desperate to look good on Instagram. Itā€™s herd mentality in its most embarrassing form.

Brilliant marketing, kudos to them.

Iā€™m not so sure Fitzy. You know Iā€™d consider myself a ā€œman in the knowā€ but Iā€™d only heard about this pop-up about 10am. Thereā€™s been next to nothing advertised this past week. Iā€™d imagine there was very little marketing done and they just relied on the massive reputation the burgers have in the States. That and the general public being absolute goons.

Your second point is probably most appropriate. Iā€™m just surprised so many people are eating burgers in this heat. Itā€™s 42 fucking degrees outside.

A ballsy no nonsense guy that fella, kudos to him.

Sure thatā€™s the point, the pop-up shop and the queue is the marketing. They let it be known only planned to sell 300 burgers, this created the buzz which in turn created the queue of sheep which in turn lead to all the publicity. Thatā€™s marketing.

If they had just setup a normal shop selling as many burgers as they could they probably wouldnā€™t have got any publicity. They preyed on the ā€œhey everybody look at meā€ mentality of the intsagrammers.

Which came first; the queue or the marketing?

The marketing. The key was in creating the queue.
Like when tech companies launch a new product or phone. They give out a limited number of ā€œinvitaitonsā€ just to create a bit of chatter about the product and get people online asking for invites.
