Seems that since Apple started serving ads from their new mobile advertising platform, named ‘iAds’, there’s been a bit of a tizzy, with people mocking them for saying that they are ads that you’ll want to see, and how dare they advertise ads in your mobile phone as a “feature”.

1am – Go to sleep after coming back from Shaun’s House. 5:00am – Woken up by odd noises that I hope aren’t a mouse being brought into the house. 5:21am – Realize that I can’t pretend it’s not a mouse anymore, and get up, catch the mouse, take it out to the front garden, and
