Entering two YouTube vids in quick succession on my blog smacks of laziness, however this one is a milestone. It is the first time our daughter Ruby and I have sat together and both enjoyed a movie together. We both laughed, and she ended up doing a good mimic of the high hooting noise.
Enjoy.

I'd like to just unleash a couple of vat-fuls of scorn on advertising agencies that respond to a brief for a car advert with what is quickly becoming the most tired of advertising clichés: "Hey! Let's take it to pieces!"
I can barely bring myself to continue hammering my disdain into the keyboard, so let's just get on and show the guilty parties:
The one that started it all - people should have recognised that there would only ever be one:
Then one that tries to be a bit more wispy:
Now let's have one with a bit of a twist "the car parts are a bit second rate, but let's bang them about and make some noise!":
Just like the spice girls, there needs to be a sporty one:
The latest one that frankly deprives me of the will to live. This ad agency should file for creative bankruptcy:

I have to say that I am shocked and stunned by this. I don't have anything against pasties, and I don't really object to the consumption of Quorn (even though I must confess I do not know what it is). Hell, I don't even have a problem when people mess around with traditional recipes.
What I despise are missed opportunities, and whoever introduced this product is guilty of having failed to name it a "Quornish Pasty". I mean, the name "Quorn" lends itself to so many great adaptations*, yet either this name was missed, or some litigation-shy marketing department decided against it. What's the good in an unusual name if you can't expand on it now and again?
*Another favourite is the term Quornography, which refers to lightweight erotic material characterised by an absence of meat.

This is fantastic. Not sure what I'm meant to do in response, but it is fantastic all the same:

I stopped, transfixed in front of the window of Books Etc when I saw this.
As a major product push to their new 'Feed your mind' campaign, they are pushing Jordan's autobiography. In it, you get to read about her tits, her kids and her husband. You also get a deep insight into her breasts, norks, baps, funbags and hooters. That includes her tits.
