After my recent dismay at Jackie Chan advertising for Woolworths it has come to my attention that they have a new sponsor. It’s safe to say that Woolworths have now well and truly jumped the advertising shark.
As if Jackie Chan wasn’t inappropriate enough they’re now using Darth Vader to hawk toasters. Darth Vader. The Darth Vader, the one from Star Wars.
The most evil man in the universe can now be seen on television preparing beans on toast. Watch and cringe.
Has George Lucas not got enough money already? Does he really need to let the only decent thing he ever created be seen on television toasting bread with a lightsaber? Does his description of Darth Vader’s path through life fit with selling toasters?
No. No it does not.
Christ on a speeder-bike* this is going too far.
At least the Daleks are protected from this sort of thing by a ‘no taking the piss’ clause in the original contract.
*in no way should they actually ever be called speeder-bikes. What with bike being a shortening of bicycle and them having no fucking wheels!
What do you mean no taking the piss?
The Daleks have the piss ripped out of them every time they judder onto screen as part of one of Rusell T Davies appalling scripts.
Outmoded, outdated and as scary as Dusty Bin. It’s time they were updated.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Darth Vader. It’s an outrage!
