UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
It has died. There will now be a short period of empty space to reflect on all it achieved.










Fortunately, as the weather's so nice and being inside on a computer looking through the Sony Ericsson press extranet is so much fun, we have lined up a replacement. It is called EXTRA-LAST. It will be the same thing.




It would've been called SUPER ALKALINE but superalkaline.com is taken. It also might've been called LEISURE FACILITY had leisurefacility.com not also been taken. It could have even been LIFESTYLIN but, again, it was taken. So it is called EXTRA-LAST. The capital letters are compulsory. The logo isn't finished and probably never will be. Any questions?


ABOUT EXTRA-LAST
  • It is "powered" by Blogger as Wordpress is too hard and, as has been previously documented, we are too old for new tricks.

  • The celebratory first ever update was a woman's bra promotional photograph. Hopefully that's enough to get everyone in.

  • We're hoping an artistic reader might knock up a better logo (approx 960 x 120 GIF/PNG, please)

  • It will have adverts on it, although nothing like as many as Idiot Toys used to have during The Great Depression.

  • People will inevitably complain that the RSS feed doesn't work, and until such time that the local adult education centre offers RSS management classes, that's the way it will probably stay.

  • We have one new idea for a new feature to go on it so far - something to do with toasters.

  • There will still be EXECUTIVE MOUSTACHES.

  • That's about all.

  • We were sure there were more things we wanted to say about it than this but it seems there isn't.

    So you got rid of Idiot Toys and the 'brand' you'd built up with it and then replaced it with something entirely the same but with a different name?

    Is this all because 'Idiot Toys' was too 'funny' a name to be a serious tech blog?

    Are you no longer part of that 'blogging ring' then?
    Blogger Cmdr_Zorg said...
    It's a bit more complicated than that. It's because I sold Idiot Toys in 2007 and continued updating it for the new owner as part of my "job".

    But it's not my job any more, apparently, so it's either start up a new version or give it up entirely.

    "Apparently"?

    I thought all-caps names were for failing Sony consoles on their way to (hopefully) bankrupting their parent company!

    yeah more Chinese holding and less ironic (moronic I'll way say) executives facial hair.

    Let's not whitewash this Zorg, you were fired. Fired under the grating, bristly wrath of one of the very executive moustaches lampooned on your site. Yep, they 'fired the shit out of you'. Let's be honest, it was a bit unrealistic to expect payment for mediating quasi-pornographic battery photography much as I loved every rubbernecking minute of it. No, I'm afraid the only currency you can be expecting now will come in the coments section; a regular dividened of sublimated sexual yearnings and the same stifled and confused admiration you've come to expect from down-n-out would-be serial rapists like me and everybody else on the internet.

    Yay! Now you're all ours again I can get back to working up to asking you to be the best man at the pretend civil partnership ceremony taking place on my mental ward between me and Simon Cowell.

    God your fans are charming, aren't they?

    I like the name more than idiot toys. Good luck, I shall certainly keep reading.
    Blogger GigerPunk said...
    Fans? What are they? I'm here for the camaraderie/alibis.
    I preferred the name idiottoys meself, but maybe a new logo and some time and it'll grow on me. Right now I've already forgotten the new name since I scrolled down here to the bottom of the page...
    Ever-summat wasn't it? Ever-long? Ever-lost?
    ( notice batterycompartment.com was already taken by some chancer called Amy B, New York)

    Still, regardless of whether Idiot/Zorg/Gary was being paid for updating the site before/isn't now, I say well done for wheedling any money at all out of people for running a care-in-the-community type site like IdiotToys[rip]. How long's UK:R got?

    EXTRA-LAST sounds a bit lie extratone, my favourite 'very fast techno that's really just noise; no, really' genre.

    I approve. Gods bless EXTRA-LAST and all who sail in her.

    How long before UK:R suffers the same fate as Idiot Toys or has Zorg received Bank of England funding to keep it going yet.

    After all, if this site goes down who knows how it would affect the struggling world economy.

    Perhaps you should have foreseen the pitfalls of selling something you liked? Although you presumably got money for this 'selling' while realising you could just set up an identical alternative at the right time. Well done. Try to 'sell' Extra Last too.

    I don't know what Extra-Last means. I presume it is battery related, but I only guessed that from knowing about your battery problem and the logo, which looks like a very long battery, the kind that doesn't exist.

    So now we know why you brought up 'battery compartment'. Why didn't you use that name as I thought it was for sale?

    Should have called it moron toys. Idiot gadgets. Wanker tools. Idiotoys. Therealidiottoys. Garysrealidiottoys. Garycutlackakacommanderzorgstherealidiottoys. Idiotstoystwo.
