the weather was a big disappointment first off- it was cold, wet, rainy, windy - felt like being back in UK. Then you only get to POKE a dolphin, the whole thing is so restricted, it makes you think, “I’ve payed a grand for this, and they arent letting me even give it a proper hug or whatever. Also, the guy went nuts when my finger was within 30cm of its blowhole. - jadedghiacand

Best TripAdvisor review ever?

You know you've watched too much 'Castle' when this is not just a chest of drawers, but the perfect place for a hypothetical murder suspect to stash incriminating evidence. (at Razorfish)

Template for advertising products for women

Take one attractive-but-not-alienatingly-so “aspirational” celeb mum (like Louise Redknapp?). Add nebulous chat about busy-ness, “the kids,” and a “demanding husband” (like Jamie Redknapp! I bet he’s demanding…) Add a dose of friendly girly chat, ultra relaxed. Like this attractive-but-not-alienatingly-so “aspirational” celeb mum is your best friend. She’s JUST LIKE YOU. Don’t forget that hot beverage! Bonus points if it’s a cappuccino. The laydeez LOVE frothy milk drinks. Hahaha. Milk. Totally forget to mention the product you’re advertising AT ALL! Because this is a winning formula; mentioning the product or the brand or making it anything to do with it will spoil the effect. Plus a joke about: (a) chocolate and being SO ADDICTED to eating it; AND/OR (b) shoes and being SO ADDICTED to buying them. Result: an ad that will sell anything - sofas, tea, laxatives, sporty hatchbacks, Wilkinson Sword razorblades… Literally ANYTHING. Seriously, if you have two clients that target women, just recycle the script! Why waste the effort? It’s just for women. It’s not like we’re trying to talk to normal people. And by normal people, we mean men.

Ron Swanson is the wisest man on television. This should be tattooed on my forearm. #parksandrec

I think we've all felt this way at some point or another.

One of the best things about following @barackobama and @whitehouse is the intermittent Mean Girls references. Props.

Two of my best friends won Cutest Couple of our senior class. First time in my school history a same sex couple has even been able to run for this category, not to mention winning it. So proud of them, and my school.

Buzzfeed launches in the UK; Arianna Huffington quaking over her cornflakes (or so we’ve been told by The Wall)

Buzzfeed, your number one destination for enlightening fare such as ‘How Obama Won the Internet’ and ‘Cat Photos Taken at Just the Right Moment’ has quietly set up an office of four...
