Alex Horne's death defying attempt to become world's oldest man
"I have been attempting this death-defying feat non-stop for the last 31 years and 7 months and although I'm now getting tired, I am still confident that I can keep going."
All rather silly, I thought people here might appreciate it.

Hmmm
Would give it a click, but seems to be rather heavily sponsored by Innocent Smoothies, who in turn are majority owned by Coca Cola. Who are evil fuckers.
Edit: Sorry guys, didn't mean to spoil it for ya :( all personal choice and that, chances are it doesn't affect the innocent product, though does obviously increase Coke's profits..

to be fair I was dissapointed in this too
then I read This article innocentdrinks.typepad.com/innocent_drinks/2009/04/an-innocent-investment-qa.html
And many others.
Effectively Coca Cola have no control of the org. They invested only. Innocent made the decision because they could not expand any other way without losing control of their org. They are continuing to push their fair trade and organic agenda but are now reaching further into markets previously untouched in europe etc. This also means that they are perhaps promote this sort of behaviour to the rest of Coca cola.
A mitigated version of "If you can't beat them - join them?"

Innocent will promote THEIR agenda to Coca-Cola?
I'd like to be at that board meeting!
I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "we invested in them, but dont control them" message was very carefully crafted as to not impact the image of Innocent.
