Although I don't think news institutions like the ABC should be using such terms generally (I'm clearly just old and decrepit and not 'with it', whatever 'it' may be), VegeFAIL does sum up the epicness of this particular fail, doesn't it? At least they admit it and won't spam my eyeballs at every grocery shop with their 'genius': http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/09/30/2701070.htm Good news for you, Jasper!

That, coupled with iSnack 2.0 to begin with...I think my brain just exploded. <em>Oh, NO. Not only are my bad jokes making ME dumber, they're now stunting the thought processes of others! I'm a danger to myself AND to those around me! -Jasper</em> Whoa…I was going to write a thoughtful comment, and then I read that “iReland 2.0 years ago” joke.

That, coupled with iSnack 2.0 to begin with…I think my brain just exploded.

Oh, NO. Not only are my bad jokes making ME dumber, they’re now stunting the thought processes of others! I’m a danger to myself AND to those around me!

I have been out of Australia for 2.5 years now (living in Ireland) and I first thought this was a joke (and a bad one at that). This is so lame. There is no way you can come at this idea and think its a good one. Great article. <em>Firstly, aw shucks. Thanks. Secondly, I think that's what has baffled me the most. There is no direction from which I can approach this and go "oh, well I can kind of see how that might have worked". This has got lame written ALL over it. But still, it's not as lame as this joke: Six months ago you would have been in iReland 2.0 years. HAAA-ugh. No no, don't get up, it's okay - I'll punch myself in the face. -Jasper.</em> You have to be kidding!

Firstly, aw shucks. Thanks. Secondly, I think that’s what has baffled me the most. There is no direction from which I can approach this and go “oh, well I can kind of see how that might have worked”. This has got lame written ALL over it.

Because obviously that name's still going to work for them in 6 months time when the rest of the world gets over "web 2.0" like I have years ago. Also, since when was food supposed to be savvy? Not to mention that according to it's name if you made yourself iBeeakfast toast or iLunch sandwiches, because it's only supposed to be an iSnack. Should've just trademarked cheesymite from Baker's Delight an be done with it. <em>I didn't even consider that. They've basically ruled it out of being used for any other meals.

I didn’t even consider that. They’ve basically ruled it out of being used for any other meals. Those marketing boffins must have snorted a particularly long line of iCoke that day.
