we mean business

well i'm glad that's over with.  according to pro-blogger jacob the idea of a blog is to sell yourself..  his advice is to 'offer a service' and then to 'find a niche'. seems relatively normal enough until you scroll down to the next blog below entitled 'fuck it all' so i'm yet to take his advice on board. yet we seem to forever being told to do just that  (sell yourself, not 'fuck it'. perverts).  in our cv's, at interviews, on social networking websites, at a romantic lunch for two at spud-u-like. where ever. 

the concept of selling yourself is seen most evidently in this year's young apprentice in which they recruit around ten teenagers already embittered by a decrease in pocket money and earnest to show the world that they too can stab people in the back to move up the ladder.  this is a show that uses the term 'USP' with no shame whatsoever. 

the second episode saw the girls' team set up an icecream stall at a theme park and resolutely scam people out of cash.  by using a technique usually favoured by a character from the league of gentleman the girls at the stall clutched the fondent treats waving them invitingly from their stall to an audience of slathering little nippers who then took the icecream of deceit (and sprinkles).  as soon as the ice cream was in the sticky grasp of innocence and youth their parents were summoned to pay the extortionate price for the cone of sin and extra for the condments which just happen to already be on top. 

surprisingly because of this tactic the team won the challenge and was awarded with either a dance lesson from Diversity or a meal consisting of everything chocolate.  It doesn't matter which; both activities are empty and fruitless.
