Previously: Episode 1
Lets me real- social media was made to spy on people you don’t know or to judge other based on their appearance- then it morphed into a way for brands to reach people who don’t watch TV or read magazines anymore. Now it seems like it’s used as a way for people to get self validation or to earn a living by posting every moment of their vacuous consumerist lives as the end of a selfie camera.
Yep, all that. And it turned the ad industry into a load of tiddly pumpkins in the process.
Three should be putting this money towards their customer service… based in India, which is so bad it’s not every worth mentioning.
What is it with these sets
40 shades of pink purples lavenders mauves – like baby sick after some icecream and jelly
Is it some science thing – makes people look better or more internet friendly maybe?
It was gawky when the Pat Kenny show sat itself around it
and shur that was over twenty years ago
Now it just looks a bit too brothel like
It’s like Blue Peter from the 70’s. “Here we are, floating in space.”
….all that’s needed is a laval lamp back drop
..damn stray ‘l’s ruin everything they do!
WTF is broadsheet giving oxygen to these tax grabbers for? Jigsaw is a glorified referral service for charities that actually do the work.
Look at their financial statement FFS – former CEO still on 134,000, current CEO on 125K
They got >7million from the tax payer via HSE and spent 800k on senior management!

Thank you curmudgeon for saying this.
If the likes of these and all the other ‘advocates’ were defunded and the money put into clinical services maybe there will be less teenage suicides.
So I echo your call – why give this crap any oxygen? Getting a bit tired of BS being used for these types of things, between this and the Irish Cancer Society and so on, its a joke and whats worse is all those enthusiastic idiots asking you to sponsor them, because, charidee which is really salaries for people who couldn’t hack it in the private sector.
I agree with both of yiz
Aoibhin Garrity is an “entrepreneur” ? …who knew , can you point me to some of her multi million euro companies so I can invest …or is she more a Sean Gallagher style entrepreneur ?
I knew of the name but couldn’t place her. Ex Fair City, had a baby and has some sisters. Oh, and the Indo has the fizz for her.
What inanity!
