It's the most wonderful time of the year

I just had to point you to this article by host of BBC4's Screen Wipes, Guardian writer and all round genius Charlie Brooker - "Patronising, embarrassing, lurid - the high street stores have got their Christmas ads all wrong"

My favourite parts are "the Spice Girls have managed to imbue their long-awaited comeback with all the glamour and class of a hurried crap in a service station toilet by whoring themselves out to Tesco" and on the Morrison's ad "Diarmuid Gavin winking at Lulu as though recalling a particularly grubby one-night stand"
