Notes and Comments: 07/05/2007

Roy Hattersley on TV ads in The Guardian. To which I add this comment:
It is my firm belief that TV ads are the prime cause of obesity. This is because they are so bad, annoying, irritating or (usually car or perfume ads) incomprehensible they force you to flee the room for the duration of the break. This usually means a visit to the cupboard or the fridge with the - unless you are a sensible eater as I aspire to be - the inevitable consequences.


The Big White Lie, is a rather good examination of the doublethink that is necessary for the left mindset. I think that it may have something to do with the utopianism that underlies left thinking where it becomes necessary for you to convince yourself that what you desire is better than what is, even when the evidence suggests it isn’t.
