A couple more subverts, and advert-related snippets

Maryland cookies. "More important than your child's future. (If you're a woman, that is.)"

Cheese strings. "You will be so infuriated by the nonsensicality of this advert that it will actually be physically painful for you to remember the product's name, but we don't care, we've been paid."

Incidentally, can anyone remember the name of that artist in the sixties who did very detailed silhouettes of people against swirly psychedelic backgrounds? Same sort of vintage as Kay Nielsen, but I don't think it was her.

And is anyone not immediately charmed by the idea of a car you can drive up in, get out of and then pick up like a piece of cloth and take away rolled up under your arm?

Parent's evening at school. Dad is listening to the teacher, but Mum is distracted by a talking biscuit putting the moves on her. "I saw you checking me out..." and so on. So when the teacher asks her something inaudible (possibly "we're planning to sell Tommy to a white slavery ring and use the money for a new gynmasium, is that all right?") she says yes with her mouth full.

Surprised that one aired more than twice, actually, but it's still being used.

The Maryland Cookies ad made me very uncomfortable when I first saw it. And I'm relieved that others don't like it either - so it's not just my issues with my own parents being exacerbated by my hormones being all over the place at the moment.
