World Gone Mad

[venta]

Every morning, when I go upstairs for my tea and evil-on-toast, I'm reminded that the world is a little bit more mad than I'd like it to be. And not in a good way.

My company's yellow-spready-stuff-of-choice is currently I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. The lid of the tub says "I Can't Believe I'm Not Famous", and has a yellow outline of a head with the words "win you face here" written on it. It is, apparently, a nationwide search for a celebrity in conjunction with The Sun.

Now. I don't mean to be awkward, but why would I want my face on plastic tubs throughout the UK ? Why would this be a good thing ?

I am however, pleased by their honest admission: Apply here, no talent required. It does confirm the theory that there is officially No Talent At All required to acheive celebrity.

a big tub of Flora next time

Euch. Oh well, I suppose those of us who don't like marge much will cope.

I have a nomination for Designated Hero of the Week - Bill

He'll have to be yours, I think; I have to see it for it to count. Anyway, I've been quite confused by the whole episode. I get loads of parcels at work and have always had a nice phonecall off Them Upstairs when post's arrived. Must be my charm :)

Have I missed something? I always get a nice phonecall when a parcel comes.
What did Bill do to Sylvia?
