iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Luckily, Mae in the middle here politely tells him that he's talking absolute dogshit. And literally calls him out on the fact that none of them are the target audience. Good work Mae. WIthout your efforts, Hula Hoops would have ended up called Oodles.

four marketing people sitting round the most seventies marketing room you can imagine. All of the dudes are in white shirt white tie, and clearly spend most of their time telling Mae things like "good girl" or to get them coffee even though the documentary is clear she has exactly the same job as them and has actual marketing instincts. As evidenced by the fact that 54 years later we're still eating Hula Hoops. This was basically my mother's experience in this era in a similar role and in conclusion fuck sexism. It can fuck right off.

this marketing dude is the wrongest guy on the planet. He doesn't think they should be called Hula Hoops as it's "out of date", and thinks nobody will buy them because the pack is too small. I hope he spent the rest of his life, in every shop he visited, cowering in shame at how wrong he was.

man in side parting and glasses who was utterly wrong about hula hoops and probably went to his grave claiming he wasn't.

if you want evidence of just how fast cats can move when it is in their self-interest. my phone camera physically failed to capture how fast Napoleon moved while stealing some melted cheese.

we bought new dining table chairs two months ago now. Being a cat dad means i STILL can't throw out the giant box they came in. Because the Chaos Tortie thinks it's the best box ever ever created, and that it's hers and hers alone. i cannot throw this away, and break her tiny heart.

Me with my podcast co-host. Amuses me that audio-only listeners don't realise almost every pod involves cat shenanigans on screen in some way.

i think years of sleeping on the street is why he's happier sleeping with an arm or hand on him now. He never wants to be alone again.
