a chocolate teapot of an advert
As I went down onto the Bakerloo Line platform today I was confronted by a new poster - a poster that yesterday was for some or other insurance company.
Today is it a shot of the torso of a well dressed woman with enormous white and green nail extensions. The message is something about "how will you spend the time you save?" and it's for a new comparison shopping site that has "millions of products from thousands of stores".
Problem is, that I can't remember its name.
Something failed there, didn't it?

As figured out by a couple of people at work, it was doorone.co.uk [doorone.co.uk], which is a shopping.com brand.
But I still like An Appraisal of the Utility of a Chocolate Teapot [plokta.com] so I'll gratuitously link to it here.

Good point. I think that they write it DoorOne. At least they were wise enough to also acquire door1.co.uk
