What Kate & Susan are talking about

The AP has changed the rule for how "hopefully" can be used. In Never Been Kissed, one of our favorite movies of all time, Josie Gellar (Drew Barrymore's character) has this whole little speech about how her boss has mis-used hopefully, saying "The way you said it, it sounds like the copy is hoping. And I'm pretty sure the copy doesn't have feelings." Suffice it to say, Susan and I like to quote that line.

This article was recommended to us with this comment: "Read ... what a truly meaningful response to a major advertising mistake would look like. Then stick around and think what it would mean for how your organization should address whatever major blunders it will make."

Sherlock S2 starts Sunday (in the US, I know those of you in the UK saw it *months* ago....)! Woo-hoo!

If you're an Etsian, you know that there's been something of a kerfuffle over their policies on what gets sold and who gets to sell it on their site. This listing? This listing is awesomely hilarious, making fun of the aforementioned policies.

Johnny Marr has no negative thoughts about The Smiths. From the AV Club. On a sort-of-related note, someone once suggested to us that we make a Johnny Marr-shmallow flavored lollipop. We thought it was clever.
