Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn-trusive

Check out the email I got from lastminute.com this morning. The subject title was, 'Celebrity hotels: who will you run into at breakfast?'. Seriously. What. The...? Lastminute are trying to sell hotel rooms based on the fact that famous people may or may not have stayed, or currently be, staying in them. They might as well have said, 'Scrape Bono's matted hair from the bath plug', or, 'Sniff Cher's soiled sheets'.

A little creepy, no? Assuming your customers are so lacking in taste and dignity that watching a crumpled Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas spoon porridge into his face at breakfast is a reason for them to want to part with their hard-earned money.

Lastminute.com, is your time up?
