PETS get treated, advertising board bans buns, James has some pretty Blunt comebacks, J-Law and Tony try to have a quiet one, and how pigs will save our lives.
Over the holidays Germany’s first restaurant for pets was opened to mixed reactions. Locals were both pleased by the notion that their pets no longer had to eat “junk food” and upset by the excess of the Western World. This may sound obscure, but there are actually several pet restaurants all over the world including one in our own New South Wales called Chew Chew that is run by Naoko Okamoto. Keep an eye out for my upcoming review of this establishment. (Duly note sarcasm).

Bondi burger restaurant, Goodtime Burger, had their print advertisement banned recently by the Advertising Standards Board as it was apparently offensive. The ad featured Goodtime’s burgers positioned to resemble a woman’s butt, with the slogan: “The freshest fun between the buns”.
The Board stated: “Although the advertiser intended the image to be a humorous depiction, the close up image of the woman’s bottom and the portrayal of her bottom as a burger likened the woman to a piece of meat or object for consumption and objectified women. The Board also considered that this depiction of a woman as a burger is exploitative of women and degrading.”
Personally, I was surprised by the fact that the issue was not with the slogan, THAT MAKES THE BURGERS SOUND LIKE ANAL SEX or THE BLATANT AND FRANKLY DISGUSTING VAGINAL REFERENCE. Am I alone on this?

Also in the news this week, people felt the need to voice their hatred for James Blunt on social media. What these people didn’t expect is for him to personally reply and burn them back. There were over twenty instances where he retweeted and returned the insults, quite cleverly, on the culprits, some of which you can see here.

Moustache Magazine’s beloved Jennifer Lawrence and her on-again-off-again boyfriend Nicholas Hoult attempted to enjoy a quiet dinner at a pub in Stratfield Turgis just before the new year when they were approached by some locals. They agreed to have their photo taken with the quality humans (see above) one of which stated: “This is the happiest day of my life. What are the f**king chances of Jennifer Lawrence eating at my pub?” Probably pretty fucking likely when it’s her boyfriend’s hometown.
