There’s a new video that’s been produced to show what MediaCity in Salford is going to look like in 2011. As this is the year the BBC are due to move in, one can only conclude that the broadcaster is planning to employ a load of cartoon turtles and legions of weird flourescent blobs. The first minute, which depicts central Manchester as a desolate wasteland beset by storms of Post-It notes, also seems to have been designed specifically to annoy Manchester city council, whose top brass have never been especially happy that Salford, and developer Peel Holdings, stole the Beeb from under its nose.
Enjoy.

I actually am a cartoon tortoise, so I think it’s pretty fair. But did you spot the Twitter product placement?
Eh?
Hopefully that’s a comment on the video and not the blog post, which I thought by my standards was actually pretty coherent.
Yes, it’s on the video. I eventually managed to gain the gist of your blog post, if not the minutiae.
Oh yes, I also meant to say I though I saw a couple of Twitter memes on there.
