It's the Weekly What? for Friday, August 5th.
Free upgrades for life!
This week's newsletter give you the same punch as our regular newsletters, but uses less of your precious time!
You might notice that this week's email is a little shorter than usual. See, the Internet has run out of links so we're having to resort to rationing them out. We apologize for any increase in office productivity.

Feel like you need to make a change in your life? Is there something that you feel you need to work on? You know, does your time management consist of checking eBay every five minutes and tweeting about lunch? (Woah, that sounds pretty heavy. We fully endorse goofing off, but some balance is a good thing.) Check it out >>
A loaf of dog? Yeah, we're not so sure about that...
Some of the best advertising is the stuff that you're not expecting. Something that makes a connection in a startling way. Here's a selection of display ads from around the world that are sure to tickle your funny bone. But seriously, that dog-loaf thing? Go see! >>
"It's toasted."
Remember that scene in the first episode of Mad Men when whatsisface told the cigarette dudes that their cigs didn't cause cancer? That they needed to tell the world that their tobacco was "toasted"? Took some of the magic out of advertising and marketing, didn't it? But now that this article has hit the Internet tubes revealing all of our Jedi Mind Tricks, we're pretty much out of jobs now, eh?
