An advertising agency for BMW has paid to name a cold weather front sweeping Europe "Cooper" in Germany, after the carmaker's Mini Cooper.

But the public-relations stunt by the agency went wrong after the freezing conditions led to dozens of deaths.

I really didn’t know you could sponsor weather. It seems idiotic to me, but what do I know.

In another bout of silliness, there's some sort of Virgin Money ad on Spotify that uses what's better known as the 'Exorcist theme' :shock: :lol:

It's not just on Spotify. It's on TV and at the cinema too. It's only used as part of the ad because it's on Virgin Records.
I wonder how many people actually recognise Tubular Bells as the Exorcist theme these days.
