Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider

A bunch of New Zealand pizza-peddlers have nixed an animated email ad campaign showing three dead celebs dancing to Halloween evergreen Thriller.

The Beeb reports that the sensitive and subtle promotion featured cartoon-corpse representations of Sir Edmund Hillary, the Queen Mother and Batman actor Heath Ledger having a little boogie on some graves. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the celebrated climber's family has taken a degree of offence and described the ad as in "disturbing" and in "extremely poor taste".

"Clearly [Hillary] is revered in New Zealand and we all love him," simpered the spokesbloke. "The idea of Sir Ed being there was intended to be a light-hearted remembrance." Having thus laid waste to the conventions of grammar along with the memory of the famous mountain climber, he then ran cackling into the night leaving a trail of receipts and print-outs of soaring web stats in his wake.

The ad, seen by around 5,000 people, has been pulled in a mark of a job well done and backslaps all round humble respect for the families.

Next week: some other clever git with the morals of a European hornet fails to get namechecked by us for whatever lame controversy-grubbing stunt they manage to squeeze out. ®
