The new Mother Energy Drink

I was contacted about two weeks ago by a PR company promoting the new Mother Energy Drink. To cut a long story short about a week later I received a box which included 9 cans of Mother, a crushed old can of mother and Truck Nuts. The letter said:

Ok, we admit it! What were we thinking when we made Mother taste so damn awful? Turns out no-one liked the taste of Mother so we've hunted down the idiots that concocted the vile potion and 'processed' them accordingly to ensure nothing like this every happens again.

So rising from the depths of this Mother of all stuff-ups comes the all new taste of Mother with double the energy kick* in a hughe 500ml can. It tastes nothing like the old one, so man up, grow some balls and take the challenge!

New Mother - it's here, it's got double the kick* and it's got balls - do you?

First things first. What are truck nuts? Well you hang them from the rear tow-bar of your car.

Before the new Mother I was a fan of V and Redeye (haven't had Redeye in years but it still counts). The new 500ml Mother would have to be my favourite now. It doesn't seem as sweet as the others and at the same time it doesn't leave you thirsty.

I have to say the new taste of Mother is great. I like many other people weren't a big fan of the old Mother however, I did like the ad on TV with the weird monkey. Anyway my suggestion is get out and get a new mother.

wooThemes is here

All though I am not a WordPress user I have been following Adii, a WordPress theme designer for a very long time. I was there when he launched the premiumNews theme and have seen all the themes he has released since then.

To give proper respect it hasn't just been Adii working on the premiumNews theme project and now Magnus Jepson, Mark Forrester and Elliot Jay Stocks have launched wooThemes.

wooThemes

It still isn't going to make any difference to me but for the millions of WordPress users out there wooThemes could be the one for you. I can't wait to see what these 4 talented WordPress designers come up with next as their first official theme launch branded as wooThemes.

Good luck to them!
