Tell Them Where To Stick It
Tom Watson brings to my attention that Sellotape don’t want people to link to them. In fact, they claim that doing so is strictly prohibited:
Hyperlinking to this site, is not permitted without the express prior permission of Sellotape
This is obviously complete nonsense, even if you disregard the peculiar comma placement. So I hereby launch the Tell Sellotape Where To Stick It campaign. There’s no need to go mad or anything (leafleting town centres and organising public protests would probably be a bit over the top), we just want to annoy them a bit. All you have to do is link to sellotape on your site and trackback or comment to this post saying that you’ve done so.

hello, i just found your blog, and its funny because i have just read ‘the curious incident’ and i was listening to ‘the man comes around’today…spooky..(or not, i guess they are both popular things…)

Hmm. Couldn’t be a cunning reverse bluff from Sellotape to generate hits to their site?
No. Looking at it, no. They clearly have no sense of humour.

Jasmine has even posted up their logos! Ha!

I’m not sure if it’s my browser (IE6) or what, but your blog is barely visible -only taking up a 1 and 1/4 inch long by 6 inch wide space within the window. Since I don’t see others commenting to that effect, I’m not quite sure if it’s intentional (it’s unbearable trying to view your site this way) or something wonky where your site isn’t viewable using IE6.

This is so cool. This was obviously done by lawyers who have no sense of humor. So fricken awesome!

Stick it to a tape manufacturer. Very nice! I’ll add a link in my next entry!

I linked some time ago now and would be interested to know how the campaign is going.
