Good grief. My mother is watching a documentary about an incredibly patient doctor trying to convince diabetic people that maybe they should stop eating and actually treat themselves on Channel 4 and during the advert break, the lastest in that bloody series of adverts starring the moron-with-the-pointless-subplot from Love Actually for BT came on. For goodness sake. Why this has been continuing for so long, goodness only knows. I can only assume a bunch of marketing gonks love it and keep it going out of their way to sustain it*.

Essentially it’s like a soap opera, but made up of half-minute segments and spread over several years, and so every preceding segment has therefore been forgotten by the populace before the next one rolls around. It’s not even good as a soap opera, and that’s saying something. Here’s a Screenwipe clip from 2007 (1:47 contains the salient points).

Recently, they’ve had this ‘vote to see how it ends’ thing. Firstly, well, at least it’s ending. Secondly (and apologies to Ray Peacock) but nowhere were the options ‘much sooner’, ‘immediately’, ‘violently’, or anything of that nature. For goodness’ sake, we’ve been putting up with it for this long. I would at least hope it could end with that woman bludgeoning the twat’s head in with a poker.

Well, I’d have said that’s about enough for today. Tomorrow, I will (hopefully) be recording a podcast. Should be interesting. That’s all for now. Goodnight.

*This is clearly pure conjecture, I would assume that it’s effective advertising otherwise it wouldn’t have been continued, although I can only assume that those affected are morons.
