Profile Reviews PoisonBullet
The critical eye(s) of the Buzz sweep over another profile... Mercilessly judging every aspect; how will they fare?

I must admit I was a little begrudged at having to write for the Buzz while I was on holiday in sunny France (Mika truly is a slave driver), however all of my bad feelings evaporated when I laid eyes on what could possibly be perfection in a profile! Well worth a lack of tan, I reckon!

For those who don't know how it works, where have you been? Don't worry it's simple:
1- Players are selected at random to have their profiles reviewed.
2- The profiles are judged on use of images, music, text and overall feel.
3- It gets published in the Buzz.
Easy... Or as my absolute favorite tv advertising campaign would say, 'Simples!'



Name: Thongs

Images: Err... Wow. If only I knew how to spell Homer Simpson's famous saying I would write it, what the heck this profile is worth a try.. AaggaaGGhGhghgGhhhhhh! How's that? I think it sums up the pictures well! It's also nice to see the background colour has been changed, impressed that I noticed?
Images score:
Perfection doesn't sum it up so six barrels out of five seemed appropriate, good work!

Music: None, but let's be honest here and say that music is overrated... Why ruin perfection? The only thing I could see working here is maybe the tune from the Marks and Spencers advert with a VoiceOver; 'this is not just any profile.. This is Thongs profile'.
Music score:
Five out of five awarded here for making the right decision not to take anything away from the images with music.

Text: Some very informative text at the top of the profile letting us know that Thongs may be slow to reply to messages. I doubt that would be a problem, however, as most people would be too busy looking at your profile to message you anyway!
Text score: Image: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/54a3f56700.gifImage: //www.blimgs.com/old/buzz/round-6/2ae11a2b25.gif
Let's face it, it's not up to the standard of the images, but the score is helped out by the excellently placed text in the images!

Overall: Beautiful. Perfect. AaggaaGGhGhghgGhhhhhh. I wonder if this would read any differently if it was written by a girl...
Overall score: 5 barrels.

Only one profile reviewed this week but trust me I've done you a favour. Use the time to just go and look at Thongs' profile. Enjoy!
