Another cog in the murder machine

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

As some of you will know I work for a market research company. Here's an email I sent round to the staff yesterday:

"So an easy pair of questions to divert you for half a minute:

Name a currently active band or recording artist a British teenager might know about.

Name a currently active sportsperson a British teenager might know about.

Simple as that! Name more than one if you like."

I have snipped the 'why' since you, The Kids, are not to be trusted with the secrets of The Man.

But I have now compiled the answers I got. What do you think people said (and what SHOULD they have said?)

do the teenagers read the papers though? I didn't, much, when I was. It's probably more "who gets on TV".

GPWM; tho for "papers" I was thinking of: papers, sleb-mags e.g. HEAT and radio (they're always blithering about so and so being on "the back pages" for being thrown out of a bar or dating a pussycat d0ll) - I don't watch a great deal of telly tho so suspect that yes, mine are the opinions of the old and out-of-date :(

I try to be aware of who's on TV without watching it, so mine probably are too - D Beckham seems obvious to me but come to think of it he is quite old?

He is quite old but the Beckham machine covers an AWFUL lot of bases - he does foopball, fashion, modelling, advertising etc etc - it was his ubiquity, rather than sportsmanship per se, that made me think of him.

PLUS HE IS ONLY 32 shutuuuuuup!
