Poor taste link to previous obscure and poorly understood blog gag

Investigators have just announced the cause of that train derailment in Cumbria. Apparently they've found a tomahawk embedded in the side of one of the carriages.

to see the original unacclaimed piece, click here, scroll down past the big poo story until you get to the entry titled 'Gon-ads'

and here is the strange advert that is unlikely to be appearing on TV again. Incidentally, in searching for this clip, I found that this ad had caused much annoyance on cycling messageboards - the bit with the cyclist getting knocked off at the start had made them very irate. A gratuitous poking of fun at cyclists apparently. And watching it again, I found the "First class only" disclaimer at the bottom quite amusing. Don't worry, standard class passengers - you won't be attacked for your big ideas! But you probably will have to stand up all the way from London to Manchester and pay vast amounts for the privilege.

I went first class yesterday and I didnt see any of these shenanigans. Mind you, it was dark outside. My favourite part of the advert is where the cyclist gets knocked over at the start. Cyclists annoy me. In part its because they are smug, but mostly its because they seem to want to get run over.
