about 3 to 4 seconds added to the display time of sub-titles would have
made it perfect.

that Hitler thing half a dozen times now.

You won't be able to but it any more, it only lasted 4 days before they
killed it:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1101797/Backlash-kills-off-iSnack-2.0

Betcha the marketing dick who signed off on this gets a promotion.

Something tells me in 5 years a case of the original iSnack 2.0 won't be
worth the same as a case of Duff beer.

google "worlds greatest job australia"
was worth countless millions in free advertising.

"iSnack2.0" just did the same thing.
who cares if the name only lasts a week, and then they select another name?

The 13 year old kid on "heyhey red faces" last night, generated another
million dollars worth of advertising for them. :)

Make sure you save the 3 differently named jars for the grandkids to
collect on.

Cheers Don...

See in the press today that they have already canned the iSnack name.

It seems that in today's mad world all you need to do is pick a name (any name)
and stick a lower case "i" in front of it and you've got yourself a whizz-bang
marketing gimmick....

I can just see the marketing: - just put "veginamite" on one slice of
bread and (Kraft) "penis paste" on the other,
slap them together and you have a "fuckin' good sandwich"

There is now talk it was done as a deliberate marketing ploy to piss people
off and get even more publicity, and that they fully planned to can the name
after a few days. There is a new promo to find a new name, not that anyone
cares, the knew formula is an overcooked goose.

the Vegemite kid:

is being splashed on the today show this morning, sporting his tub of
the special "yeast extract".

Hoping Kraft will pick him up by the look of it.
A 13 year old with a future?

agree 100% Dave, we must must have a similar sense of humour.

and so many critics like Peter Ford, canned the show. He seemed to have
toned his act down a bit after the ratings appeared.
