    Those irresponsible Tango ads also brought about a massive increase in seal tonking incidents around our coastline.

    There’s the hit of the whole fruit.

    and the esso blue adverts of the 1960s actually caused me to start drinking parafin. Last week.

    It’s about time someone highlighted this issue.

    I just know that in a couple of decades’ time I’m going to feel compelled to capture a gorilla and teach it the complexities of a) percussion instruments and b) Phil Collins.

    Bloody Dairymilk.

    Surely this one should be under ‘Slow Readers’?

    I actually am one of those cuntstains who work in advertising and it is my job to be responsible for all world evils.
    I created Cilit Bang man from sellotape and matted bum-dreads.

    Imagine my surprise when the RSPCA impounded my car after finding traces of tiger blood around the fuel filler, etc etc

    I fear that outer space will be explored by designer-stubbled geezers looking for nightclubs, if the latest carling adverts are to be believed.

    To be fair, the Tango ads were pulled at the time because kids were copying them.

    To be fair

    I don’t know where you think you are pal but I won’t tolerate that kind of behaviour.

    I’m fed up of kids thinking that ‘you don’t have to be posh to be privileged’

    Fucking remedials.
