tshirtsunited.com Commerative T-Shirt:

tshirtsunited.com have released a t-shirt after Man City got knocked out of the FA Cup by their own Balloon's:



"Manchester city: the only club in history to be knocked out of the FA Cup by a balloon. Here we present a variant on city's shiny new club crest; the stars are falling off, the ship is sinking, the legend "YCNMIU" ("You Could Not Make It Up" - a fitting motto for our blue brothers if ever there was one) is proudly displayed below and we have two sky or laser blue balloons as the centrepiece, proudly displaying the numbers 3 and 2 in honour of the fact that it will now be at least 32 years during which Manchester city will have won precisely fuck-all."



This was definately one of the funnier things of the week.

tshirtsunited.com has a load of great stuff on it (provided your a red).
Check it out here

Here is me modeling one of their shirts at the Sugarlips Tablequiz in the Harbour Bar along with FOB, Bannie and Leigh:



We even made it to the Wicklow News 5th page! ha!

A Flick through my College notes:

If only all the Cases I have to study could be like this:

Ask anyone who had studied Contract Law and they will no doubt have heard of this advertisement!



What is the first thing that comes in to your mind as an impressionable youth when you see this advert on tv? Safe to say its not "I need to raise 7,000,000 Pepsi Points so i can get my hands on a Harrier Jet!"

Unfortunately the good people (sic) at Pepsi didn't count on the stupidity of the American public.

In Leonard V. Pepsi Co. The Plaintiff impressed by the advertisement set out to drink enough Pepsi to purchase a Harrier. Although he failed to do so, he discovered that the promotion rules enabled additional points to be bought for 10 cents each. The plaintiff the managed to raise $700,000 dollars, and submitted an order form claiming his harrier jet.

Unsurprisingly the defendant replied stating the ad was merely humorous, and did not constitute an offer capable of acceptance. This was ultimately accepted by the court on a motion for summary judgment, the court holding that no reasonable person could have believed that the advertisement actually offered Pepsi drinkers a fighter plane.
