<a href="http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=3239">More fun</a> from <a href="http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com">BEtEO</a>, this time <a href="http://hashtags.org/tag/sponsoredlit">via</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Rodafowa">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/22/xbox_gamertag/">The Internet’s Famous</a> <a href="http://www.fscked.co.uk/">Richard Gaywood</a> – the collision of great literature and base commerce. It&#8217;ll come as no suprise to some that this is an idea I&#8217;ve not been able to leave alone since it crossed my path. My best efforts to date:</p>
<p>&#8220;And on the pedestal these words appear:<br />
 &#8221;My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:<br />
 Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!&#8221;<br />
 Nothing beside remains: round the decay<br />
 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,<br />
 The lone and level sands stretch far away.<br />
 Next time, use Ronseal Double-Action Wood Preserver.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;To imagine the future, imagine a boot smashing into a human face forever. Ooh, nice boots! <a href="http://www.clarks.com">http://www.clarks.com</a>.”</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not just a liquor never brewed,<br />
 From tankards scooped in pearl;<br />
 This is M&amp;S liquor.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The barge, like a burnished throne burned on the water; the poop was beaten gold, purple the sales and so perfumed that the wind was lovesick with them. Then it hits you &#8211; this is way more than a cruise! Royal Caribbean International.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Beauty is truth, truth beauty &#8211; that is all<br />
 Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know.<br />
 Maybe she&#8217;s born with it &#8211; maybe it&#8217;s Maybelline.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful. Talk to Frank.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I grow old! I grow old!<br />
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled!<br />
Unless I take advantage the great menswear bargains available in the BHS winter sale.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So twice five miles of fertile ground<br />
 With walls and towers were girdled round:<br />
 And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,<br />
 Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;<br />
 And here were forests ancient as the hills,<br />
 Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.<br />
 Visit Centre Parcs &#8211; for a British holiday the weather can&#8217;t spoil.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because I could not stop for Death<br />
 He kindly stopped for me<br />
 The carriage held but just ourselves<br />
 And Immortality.<br />
 We&#8217;d have been able to fit four kids and the family dog in as well if Death had been driving the new Vauxhall Zafira.&#8221;</p>
