I’m sitting here watching my telly – Gordon Ramsay in Kitchen Nightmares – and I’ve been assaulted!
On my screen has just appeared an advertisement for Coca Cola. In it a chubby-cheeked Santa Claus (I’m sure those cheeks are false) hands a bottle of Coke to a young girl, then to the same girl a few years on, then to her daughter as a young girl and so on. The advert completes its awesome circle when the first girl, now a grandmother, hands Santa a bottle of coke. All accompanied by a choir singing “Laa Laa…”
During this awful progression of saccharine crap I was forced to sit on my hands lest I throw the nearest object at the plasma whilst the wax ran out of my ears. I am consumed with rage at the patronising bastarts who wrote and produced this and I desire their entrails wrapped round the Sacred Oak Tree in a REAL example of Yuletide spirit.
Trust me, my friends, we are so far past “Humbug” that you couldn’t see it with the Hubble Telescope!
Now, the point of this – other than for the catharsis. Is this advert, as I suspect, from the US? If so, would you please write to George W. Bush AND TELL HIM TO STOP IT!
Thank you and a Merry Christmas!

Sod it! It’s just come on again! Thank all of the gods that I had the remote to hand this time. I think I’m stuck with the BBC and DVDs until after Christmas…
