Adverts, programmes, and more death

"Oh that advert where they clean the penny, I don't believe that" Well I don't believe that atrocious dubbing, good old Cillit Bang never letting standards rise.

Two hair shampoo adverts (featuring women of course) Head and Shoulders that can leave your hair up to 100% flake free and Nutrisse (or however it's spelt) which can cover up to 100% of your gray hairs. Uh-huh 0% is 'up to' 100% gimme a range here.

And what the hell is Howard of the Halifax doing walking his shopping in the... damn rhymes with teeth 'When I'm walking my shopping in the something, I want a credit card that has some teeth' Like a park, anyway why do you want a credit card in the park? Actually on second thoughts I don't think I want to know.

'"Does you air-freshener sometimes get a bit overpowering' well yeah if you spray half a bloody can about it does.

New Diesel aftershave ad which of course is as pretentious as all the other perfume/aftershave ads (bar Lynx). Diesel "Fuel for life" just remember not to drink it.

Oh and applause to Evans for not only producing clothes of size 16 and above, but actually having an advert featuring a women with some nice curves to her to model them.

One big surprise - a switch from a programme to the adverts where the adverts were quieter, woah, that was until we got to the end and got some promo for 'Z-list celebs ballroom dancing in tutus on ice while performing surgery on animals and giving fashion tips and showing the best method for wallpapering a room' where the volume seriously surged.

Not forgetting what the hell was that all about on GMTV this morning where that girl felt she'd been humiliated on X-Factor. She couldn't sing, couldn't dress, and hey no-one forced her on to the programme; boo-freaking-hoo.

On a sad note a fatal stabbing of a four year old and injury of a fourteen year old in Yorkshire, don't expect a media circus as they've already got two suspects and it appears to be a domestic dispute so no chance for hand-wringing vultures declaiming the downfall of civilisation, or bemoaning the so-called justice system in the lands of Johnny Foreigner.
