Sorry Mary Whitehouse

In my day a certain Mary Whitehouse would be widely quoted on various subjects relating to the moral decline of our society through the various media that was available then. At the time I was more interested in girls and pulling legs off insects, or maybe the other way round, I was a strange child!

I believe she was barking but in many ways she could see the future of our society and where we were going.

Until this morning this all seemed to be repressed deep in my subconscious until I passed a poster for Tango at a bus shelter – “Too much Tango makes your guffs smell of oranges, I know I have just done one” a POS campaign devised by Bartle Bogle Hegarty.

This to me sounds like we are really dumbing down, regardless of the teenage market it is aimed at. It sounds like an awkward newcomer to a group of alco pop swigging zitty teenagers making a “funny” to fit in and be accepted!
On top of that I read that on the new limited edition 440ml can “Tango with Added Tango, actually spells the word twat”

Well Mary I am sorry we made fun of you in the playground, can we go back to 3 TV channels, no mobile network or internet and a two day week please!

Urgh, I don't like that at all. Why, when I want a refreshing drink would I want to be reminded of farts? But then it's probably not aimed at me.
