Yes, it's true. If the well oiled machine that is commericalism has taught us anything, it's that by October, Xmas is literally next week, which, by my calculations, means that 2007 is very close to coming to an end.
It's with great affection that I look back on 2007, lazy days in the northern hemisphere, or indeed the equator, where i spent many a lazy afternoons. I could go on all day (and often do) but the Xmas jingles n my ear are telling me that it's time to look back at the biggest flops of 2007.
I thought i would get in quick before channel 9 thrust the incredibly aged and made up face of Dermott brereton in our faces with a 7 week presentation on a similar subject.
My contender for biggest flop of 2007 is based on the the success of it's sister products in addicting us and making us crazy. no, not drugs. not this time.
STICK BASEBALL....
I found out about this from the moff via msn with "oh no, here we go again" When i heard this i knew what was coming, just like when the Americans came out with the Hollywood blockbuster line "ladies and gentlemen, we got him."
As i opened the window i was gripped with "the fear"... the fear that i would be as hooked, frustrated and enraged as i, and many others were, with stick cricket.
alas, the addiction lasted less than 48 hours.
Stick baseball, you came, you saw, you fell to pieces like a poorly manufactured imitation Rolex that you can pick up from any third world Asian country for less than a tenner.
