Thank you, Mel – I’m glad you liked it.

Oh yes, I’m afraid to say the ad is real.

And I wasn’t joking when I said don’t get me started on emojis. I’ll end up offending someone or injuring myself.

Oh. I thought the surfing ad was one that you’d mocked up like the (perfect) Buzzword Adoption Curve? So it’s real? Eeeewww.

Love this article and you make some fabulous points.

Just one thing. You forgot that corporate people (oxymoron?) can also be ‘dead wood’.

I’d use an emoji at this point as shorthand to show that of course I don’t agree that people can be referred to as ‘dead wood’ and what a sad indictment of our society that term is…but you hate emojis and I want to seem cool.

And now I really want to use another emoji to show that I’m crying with laughter and I don’t want anyone to take me seriously, but see above for emoji hatred.

I almost can’t leave without doing a smiley face? Ok I’m gone

Bloody hell, that ad really does make your lunch come back.

Cracking article though.
