The prevalence of smallprint at the bottom of TV adverts is becoming quite irritating. M&S Food have got one out at the moment with 'Shows recipe development. Selected stores. Serves 2.' Do we really need to know all this? It's so distracting and spoils any aesthetic merit the advert might have had (I was too busy reading the smallprint to notice).

I hate that new Diesel advert with a Razorlight-style cover version of this fine piece of Euro-disco from 1979:

I'm straying slightly from the topic. But I started it so I am allowed.

UTV idents. If you're not familiar, they are on the theme of people doing "stuff".

So... U... walk. U...work. U...swim. You get the (cheap) idea.

Today... U... kayak.

Do I fuck.

Oh THANK YOU.

Twice now I've been staring blankly at my spotify search box thinking, "what the fudge is that song again?"

The cover is terrible; and I'm not a body fascist at all, but that lad leaping about at the end looks way too tiny to have all that hair on his head without a bone breaking.

The other way around would be more appropriate.
