Re: UKNM: Currant Bun -Reply

[John Enser]

Jim, this is a UK New Media Marketing list -Smart says -  is it surprising

that Santa Barbara is behind the curve with the jargon?


The SUN is the Murdoch UK (market leader) tabloid.


Using cockney rhyming slang, currant bun = Sun


Currantbun.com = new free ISP by the Sun and for Sun readers  - Sun

readers cannot possibly fail to understand that that is what it is following

half of the front page and a full 12 page pull out in the middle (complete

with (un)suitable Sun online babes).
