Weird interview question

"If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out?" (source)

Seriously…? They have got to joking, but then I stop and think about it: What would I say? Climb out. (What is a blender again?) No, maybe I’d lay low… (it’s a food processor, isn’t it?) Actually no, if I lay flat, it could still get me and there’d be blood… (and now I’m feeling sick). Or am I small enough to fit under the blades? Is it turned on? Ick, the blades, run… 

And this is the moment I look them in the eye, break a confident smile and ask for another question…

Driven to Distraction (30 sec TVC)

One of the smoothest cross promotion examples I have recently seen. Vic Gundotra (previously from Microsoft, but since 2007) from Google (note nice big logo in the background) praising Mercedes S Class and coining the phrase ‘magical software’… Nicely done.
