Tonight I watched something on a freeview channel, and it had
adverts. Being inclined towards curiosity, even at the expense of embracing
masochism, I watched them just for the experience of marvelling at the extent
to which civilised society has completely lost the plot.
Well. Ahem. From what I remember of TV ads, they used to be
all about Fairy Liquid and Timex watches. Not any more. Now there’s one for
some preparation to bring relief to ladies with itchy parts. It even featured a
cartoon in which a lady so afflicted appeared to be desperately in need of the
toilet. Explicit stuff indeed.
There was a time when such an advert would have scandalised
the nation and raised questions in the House. Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells
would have been blowing gaskets until the air was heavy with thunderclaps and
the rolling hills of this Seat of Mars running with the boiling bile of
righteous indignation.
Oh, how standards have fallen. And all for the sake of
having a laugh.
