A while ago the Samsung Jet Adgator ad started appearing. I checked out the first ad which was a kind of count-down to a launch date. Yesterday I noticed that the artwork has changed and that it now reads “Un-Packed”. It looks like a seriously slick phone. It has all the right bells and whistles [...]
Jimmy’s Sous is a delicious sauce. It has its own Facebook group and the followers are passionate!

Now, I see Gerhard “Jail4Bail” Pieterse says he distances himself from it, although I think it might be out of loyalty rather than denial.
