We may not have the opportunity to chose the President of Europe, but we can still be thankful that those doing the appointing have made millions of Europeans happy by rejecting smug, war-loving, Tory-Lite twat Tony Blair's bid for the job. Doesn't quite make up for the fact that we can't vote for this, but it keeps us pacified.
According to a nice BBC comparison thing, whoever it is will earn more than President Obama. Who's has the most political power again?
Moving on.
The "Offended By Anything" Brigade (not an organised grouping, just muppets who are easily manipulated. Occasionally by the Daily Mail) have complained that an M&S Christmas Advert is sexist and offensive. Now, M&S ads may be offensive for the obscene amount of preening D-List celebs they contain, but this isn't the complaint. This is;
The Advertising Standards Authority is looking into eight complaints from viewers about the "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without..." ad.
Glenister, who played chauvinist DCI Gene Hunt in the BBC show, says: "That girl prancing around in her underwear."
That is sexist?! I know his character is a chauvinist, but really? There are far worse ways he could have said that, which would have been offensive. (Substitute "girl" for "tart", or any other word to describe the world's oldest profession) As it is, it's the most inoffensive way M&S could have delivered the line. I'm a woman, and I do not find that offensive - should I be?
And finally.
Surprisingly to the rest of the world, cocktail stick Kate Moss swears by the statement;
"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
As skinny usually feels like it's been deprived of something important (like fat), I'm sure that skinny feels bad. So if that's the case, does everything else in this world taste awful Kate? No, she's been misquoted. Where's original quote then?
Oh, here it is;
WWD: Do you have a motto?
KM: There are loads. There’s “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.
How were you "misrepresented" again?
