Re: UKNM: Lord save us from tampax banners on the web....

[Tim Hayward]

I once had the unmitigated delight of working with an agony aunt (who

must remain nameless) on a gameshow. At one point, during a recording

break some shrimp dicked little nonentity in the audience yelled out...


"Oi, C*a*re. What are the wings for?"


A look of utter bored exhaustion crossed her face before she calmly

replied...


"To wrap around your fucking head you, you little turd".


Audience, cast and crew were reduced to stunned silence.


I find myself recalling this simply because I wish I had a similarly

effective put down for this strand.


Women menstruate - the products they require are marketed. Get over it.


If you need an argument, argue about why VAT is charged on sanpro

products.


This strand has confirmed my suspicion that most of the New Media

industry will be vastly improved once they've been through puberty.
