Poor Man About Town

There this advert on the TV, female Geordie voiceover (Big Brother has a lot to answer for! - Newcastle must be exporting its accents due to fucking silly programme) - the ad was advertising nappies. Gosh! It was cringmaking shit. Irritating shit at that. What is about these adverts when some smug voice comes appealing to all that is conventional - the 2.4 kids, SUV-owning family - it seems that their only raison d'etre is to consume and waste, consume and waste...You can see them in shopping malls like Bluewater burdened with crisp, shiny, cardboard bags filled to the brim with shopping from different stores. The bags may as well contain old newspaper for the actual gratification that they bring. The people who buy into this must be incredibly shallow that they need to fill up their incredibly empty tracts of life with shopping. What is even more amazing is that they want these shit-machines called babies as wel, who will pollute the world with their discarded nappies.
