    Other companies

    should adopt this idea cos as sure as eggs is eggs, the directors of some companies (are you reading MS?) that are still currently breathing seem to be making decisions that would have their forefathers turning in their graves or urns...

    Clever

    The Moroccan Tourist Board has hacked Currys.

    It's a viral marketing campaign!

    "You'll have to TALK TO THE DEAD"

    That would explain a lot about both their help desk and their sales assistant recruitment policy.

    "Hello? Is there anybody there?"

    Ouija boards

    Probably one of the few communication methods left that aren't under constant surveillance by the NSA.

    it is NOT free

      Ouija boards can be cleansed by rubbing gently with spirits.

      If one is stuggling to understand the impenetrable accent of a person from Scotland's second city, does one use a Weegie board?
