LOL NINETIES

Oh, I know what I wanted to mention: I saw an advert on the television yesterday for a new and improved method of infusing a child's bloodstream with diabetes-inducing levels of sugar. It was something like the MEGA ULTRA PUSH POP SPRAY or something - the device produces a mist of some technologically advanced sugar solution or some such, which the child presumably inhales - but what really caught my attention was the utter failure on the part of the advertisers to connect with their target audience. On occasion I am reminded of the mock toy advertisement presented in The Specials; this was one of those times.

"AWESOME!!" exclaimed the prepubescent actors, as the airborne candies invaded their precious orifices.

"TO THE MAX!!!" further youths emphatically agreed.

To the Max? To The Max?

Christ.
