There’s so much right (and wrong) with this, which reminds me, I need to finish Zelda.

Faceparty to users: F*ck the Haterz
Ages ago an article in Marmalade magazine (RIP) really struck a chord with me – it predicted that people would get sick of nice brands like Innocent and start wanting to be treated a bit rougher. The ‘nasty brand’ would begin to emerge, one that gave it back once in a while, took the [...]
