    Ummm no. I've read the comments and realise it is intentional. Also realise nobody on here is going to go Iceland of the back of this. There's sweet corn on the pizza for Christ sake. And you guess wrong. I'm not a pretentious twat. Let me guess...you're one of those people that has not had a root for a very long time?

    So why post it? Do you post other adverts you see? This all harks back to Susan Boyle's album launch where the mistake was first made legitimately and it has become a meme latched onto by Ed Sheeran, and now it seems Iceland are piggy backing onto it as well, pretending it was an unintentional error so that people spread it "OMG Look at this!". That's why it's called "viral marketing".

        This should be asked of 82% of Lounge posts. :^)

        There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

          Not even a pseudo root? (I'm always willing to trial run new euphemisms)

            For the amusement value, because the Lounge was so much better in silence for 2 hours. Thanks for indirectly answering my question though. It's been a long time for you. I'm Pompey, I'll post what I want.

                I didn't find it funny at all, I find it just cynical advertising and spam, and frustrating that on some people it obviously works.

                  Seriously go get a hair-cut and some new aftershave, or failing that look on the internet for a lady supplying paid for services. You need it.

                    That could be because 'The Lounge' (C) TM is intended for that purpose?

                    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
                    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
                    "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

                                        Ummm no. I've read the comments and realise it is intentional. Also realise nobody on here is going to go Iceland of the back of this. There's sweet corn on the pizza for Christ sake. And you guess wrong. I'm not a pretentious twat. Let me guess...you're one of those people that has not had a root for a very long time?
