Your Mum…

A sign of the times. I’m not sure this is how a classic ‘your mum’ gag should start, but this is a genuine email I received today…

Universities Are Hot On Google Adwords

I logged into my Gmail and picked up a message about a D&AD education thing I’m speaking at in September. And I suddenly noticed that I was surrounded by ads for clearing places at various Universities.

I found this quite amusing.
This Kung Fu class poster looked relatively standard:

Then I noticed this:

I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself why I imagined:
