For anyone who’s enjoyed SNL UK’s superb sketch about the 1984 British pork “My wife’s got what it takes” advert, Map Men are jumping on the bandwagon to repost our own homage we did last year.

Growing up, ‘The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me’ was the only Roald Dahl book I never got round to reading. Tonight, after decades of being curious about it, I finally read it with my son. It’s shit.

Anyone else remember a cassette you used to be able to buy in the 80s that turned your speakers into fans? Used to put it on in the car and it went “wshshshshshsh!!!!!” REALLY painful on headphones.

This is relevant actually cos when
@markcooperjones.bsky.social
and I recorded the audiobook for the Map Men book ‘This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong’ the man in the booth said we weren’t allowed to sing the word “Parklife” for copyright reasons. Instead we had to *SAY* “Parklife” and it sounded weird.

contains the stupidest advert we’ve ever made, and I still can’t believe Surfshark said yes.

If you'd like to see the Surfshark advert that was too stupid even by Surfshark's usually hands-off standards, we will be releasing it exclusively on our new Map Men Patreon later this week. Why not sign up now so you don't miss it?

For the first time ever, Map Men had an advert for Surfshark rejected for being too stupid. Our response was to give them something even stupider. And they said yes! The advert (and, if you’re interested, the episode of Map Men that surrounds it) is coming to YouTube this afternoon! Stay tuned...

Scary thing is, I *WOULD* say I don't think this map, despite its many bizarre tells, is shit enough to be AI. But AI gets less shit every few minutes, so this probably *IS* AI. And I can only tell cos I'm a massive map nerd. We are, like, weeks away from AI not being shit enough for ANYONE to tell!

Instead of building massive servers that require lots of wasteful energy to cool down, couldn’t we put millions of little servers in living rooms all over Britain to replace our radiators?
