"By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself. Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations.
--Bill Hicks
This is either the best, or worst, example of bandwagon marketing I have ever seen!

Yes they are nothing but pencils with the word sudoku written on them
I especially like the line 'Makes your Sudoku puzzle a little bit easier!', how exactly does owning an official pencil make my puzzle solving any easier? I guess that without official sudoku pencils I'd just have to resort to gashing my face with a broken bottle and writing in my own blood.
Also note that the person doing the writing is actually just drawing a smiley face. They clearly haven't quite grasped the whole Sudoko concept, even with the help of the pencils.
