Funnily enough link is broken but in a touching tribute to the excellence in grammar of her spancer she refers to Paul Keith as the marketing genius behind this. You can buy some made in china POS soft toy then compete to instagram it in lots of places to win a whole £200 of neilson vouchers (presumably only valid for discount off full price holiday during a full moon). Derivative much?
I nominate Mr Piehole to buy a few and then post his stop motion recreation of the Human Centipede on Vine.

fatbob, that link works for me. I notice the S word is replaced by Snivel though by the forum software.

Richard_Sideways, It's best not to copy so I'd be in favour of more hardcore rubberised versions.

Nobody wants to be the proud owner of a 15" black rubber Boris.

A soft toy in the form of admin would frighten the children.

A T shirt, sweatshirt, sticker, 'buff', hat etc, are so much more useful as marketing tools IMV

Megamum, I think a suitably branded (and discreetly packaged) black rubber Boris . . . would certainly hit the spot.

You know it makes sense.

Masque,  I suppose the big problem might be which way up it was intended to be used.

It looks like a corpse propped up for a wake in which something awful has happened to it's eyes. Substitute it for a human and there is a horror movie or two in there.

MANUFACTURER'S WARNING! It has been brought to our attention that some Black Rubber Boris'® are being fueled with gin. We must advise against this as it causes intermittent running, poor performance and ultimately severe degradation to the structure of your 'Boris'. We do not warranty repairs to any Boris that we find has been subject to owner abuse.

Masque, sounds like that's bog standard gin that's causing those problems, what the Boris needs is sloe gin, it lubricates the parts others can't reach.

Ok, so it sounds like we've settled on a black, rubber, lubricated, multi-directional-usability, 5" Boris... with a skirt. I'll get onto China for prototyping right away.

Bode Swiller, You must include the ability to connect multiple Boris' together to create a 'Cluster Boris™' (all Rights, current and future retained)

Will this Boris be used in photos to earn up to £200?

rogg, with the right extras and lighting we could be talking a lot more than that per minute.

Bode Swiller, Shirley 'Boris' is a euphemism and the 'f' is redundant ?

I don't know who this person is. I recall meeting a Phil Pages of stuffedVole.com, a few months ago. I'll add this toy to my collection of stuffed marmots and stuffed taxidermists.

Have I missed something here, I have taken a look at Snivel and it seems to be another skier based forum thingy......Does this make us the cool kids and thus we sneer at them? If it is then can I not be in the "cool" group?
I'm happy for someone to fill me in.....

davidhammy, It's just another forum and I see CEM listed 
Looks neat and tidy but very commercial and money focused.

davidhammy, there's quite a lot of history here, including when Phil Keith used to be involved with snowheads.

Shaaarp intake of breath.......it's not commercialy focused is it, the rotters!! There's me surviving on little pebbles at the bottom of a dam, walking up hill both ways etc and there they are over there in their bloody ivory towers, trying to pay the bills and make a little cash. Hanging is too good for them, weren't like that in my day etc.......
Reading some of the comments above makes me cringe.

What Masque is saying - as I understand it - is that snowVole perfectly illustrates the issue that always seems to bug ski publishing (be it print or online or whatever) in the UK ...
... the reader being left with the impression that they are a pawn in a commercial chess game.
For what it's worth, I was taught the 'tablet of stone' - keep advertising strictly separate from editorial - by Felix Dennis (Dennis Publishing) 35 years ago. It's the rule that governs any good newspaper, magazine, ITV, etc. etc. etc. And it's no different for any online publication or forum.
snowHeads succeeds because all comment is commanded by readers, who are mainly everyday skiers, who trust it enough to be contributors.
Simple!
