The Walkers Crisps Advert - a complaint!

The latest instalment in the Walkers Crisps advert has now arrived. To see the video and a bit more info about the advert it is HERE
After the massive complaints about the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross incident concerning a prank call. (if you are a secluse like Emily Dickinson and do not know what I am going on about its HERE)
After all the complaints about that prank call Jonathan Ross got suspended by the BBC.

I thought if I made a complaint about something petty like the incident noted above, maybe I could get the Walkers advert withdrawn.
Why would I want to do that? Well in the walkers advert neither Gary Lineker or Cat Deeley are wearing helmets whilst riding bicycles. Now this is not illegal but I think it is irresponsible.

Now if you know me, you know I am very rarely serious. And this is the same - I am not being serious, but I would like to see how far I can make this petty complaint of the two celebrities not wearing helmets whilst cycling go.

I mean I could write in to newspapers etc. . .
I have nothing against Walkers or the celebs as it were. I just want to see how far the petty complaint can go. I complained in great detail to the ASA Click here to visit about it.
Saying that it was irresponsible as the celebs are very influential especially whilst many children ride bikes.
Also the government is trying to get more people to cycle.
And Health and Safety regulations etc. . .

Well we shall see how far it goes. But I guess rather like the whole Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand prank, my complaint is all just a prank.

Take it easy.

(Originally this blog was supposed to be on Hypnosis) I can never keep on topic. EVER

Hypnosis.

Every time I see a programme on it or an advert or anything I really do not buy into the idea of hypnotism, this could be down to scepticism in me but they all seem so scripted. I have always believe that if something is too good to be true then it most probably is. Darren Brown is a man who has bought the idea of hypnotism to the main stream and really sold it as an entertainment in modern day life. He seems to be a mind reader among other things. I just do not think it works. Maybe if I saw it in real life etc. . . I may not be so sceptical about it. I am just not convinced at all. Another man who does this is Marshall Sylver look him up on YouTube he is a real sell out who just does it to make money and sells a dream. Like ALL Americans, now I am not saying there is anything wrong with hypnosis or the people who do it or believe in it. BUT I just think it is all fake like magic. An entertainment thing.

HO HUM moving on I have far more interesting aspects and topics to talk about.

Just quickly for those looking for info On the Rally it is on the Facebook Group just search " UK SUMMERTIME RALLY" there is also some information on this blog (if you click the articles to the right hand side of the page... >>>>>>>>>

Recently I came across a brilliant website that analyses TV Adverts and chooses bad ones. It is a good laugh, Check it out. http://tvs-worst-adverts.co.uk/

Oh and speaking of bad adverts the new waitrose advert is terrible. Look out for it!

BIG BROTHER starts up again tonight, I know I have already spoken about this, I think I may actually watch it, or try to follow it. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shall see tonight.

I really should be revising slightly more than I am hey ho.
