The advert that appalled me was the one with the blocked arteries full
of grunge.

I lost count of the number of times I was confronted by it just as I
sat down with a tele supper, bastards I don't even smoke. I bet if
Benetton had put something like that out it would have been banned.

Picture the scenario, our hopeless smoker has had a bad day, a really
*** day.

A row with the wife, another with his boss and just to add insult to
injury, just before he goes home, the computer file containing all the
rework he has been ordered to do crashes and is lost.

On the way home, the train is cancelled, the next one breaks down and
he can't have a drink because it's now against the law.

Gets' home, another row and the baby takes two hours to get off to
sleep because it's teething.

Wife's gone out in a huff so, finally, sit down in front of the telly
and have a *** before starting that computer file all over again.

That *** is going to be the one thing, the only thing, about this
otherwise terrible day that's going to be good, the only tiny pleasure
in a day of living hell.

Then up pops that advert, like I said bastards.
