How could you?

Has an idol ever let you down?

It's not quite the same level of plummet, but Richard E Grant, the wonderful Withnail going down to those awful Argos adverts was massively disappointing.

Was Ron Asheton dropping dead the other day some kind of tie-in with this campaign? If Iggy had got his insurance sorted out, that would be quite a coup.

I was a big fan of Michael Winner before he lowered himself to those e-sure ads. As one of the pioneers of the vigilante genre with the uncompromising 'Death Wish', he kicked off the dank, grimy era of late seventies film making that I hold dear. If that wasn't enough, his measured and informative food journalism in The Sunday Times was probably what got me 'into' restaurants and the whole dining experience. Plus I used to love the little cartoons he drew of himself as his hapless alter-ego 'Winnie'. So, to go from personal hero to a national laughing stock like that... very sad.

I could never quite believe the speed and enthusiasm with which Mitchell and Webb dove straight from being stars of an edgy, underappreciated sitcom to cocksucking corporate whores for Apple, of all things.

Also, Robbie Williams makes a big fuss about no adverts blah blah sellout blah artistic integrity blah suffering artist blah, but I've seen him in adverts for everything from ChildLine to The Anthony Nolan Trust, the fucking whore.

Flava Flav doing 'Flava of Love' was a bit of a disappointment. Not really fighting the power, or empowering his black sisters.

Alan Moore bleats on about artistic integrity more than most, but that doesn't stop him flogging all his comics to Hollywood for their shitty movies. Last I heard he took Ben Stiller and Clive Owen out for a racing day bragging that the whole thing was paid for by "that crummy Watchmen movie, lol."

Have you seen the tv spot that Ben did for The Wetherby Whaler? I mean, after everything he said about keeping it street?

Fucking... insurance! And look at Norwich Union, they got Alice Cooper, Bruce Willis, Elle Macpherson... somebody else... not that they're idols. But, where the fuck do these ***** find the money?

It does particularly disappoint that Iggy would bend over for a financial institution. Not that he's ever been a crusader or known particularly for his moral or ethical stance. But, you know, he could have swallowed it for Durex or Pontiac or Wild Turkey or Marlboro. Or something. Anything. Fucking... Swiftcover.

The only things a current James Bond should be allowed to advertise are cigarettes and whisky. I haven't seen either of the Craig entries, having been nauseated by the welter of product tie-ins around each release.

I mean: a home entertainment system ffs - that's the sort of shit a Bond villain has clogging up his lair, not 007 himself.

Thanks, Cherry, for reminding me of those fucking horrid Argos adverts.

I don't think Saint Alan (Praise be unto Him) actually sees any of the money. He's got an arrangement whereby all the money goes to the artists involved. He mentions this (hilariously) in his interview with Stewart Lee.

Does anyone remember Lemmy advertising some insurance thing? Vaguely remember him being busted on the phone and then pretending it was for the rider - something about goats? It was some time ago...

Lemmy can be forgiven anything, though. Because he's Lemmy.

He did ads for Kit-Kat and Walker's crisps, too. They're on YouTube. I'm not posting links. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened...

According to the Book of Philthy, Chapter 3, verses 6-7

"And lo, it came to pass, that in 6 days Lemmy made the World, Sex, drugs, rock and roll and the world rejoiced. And on the seventh day he rested but was indeed offered a very lucrative advertising oppurtunity with Nestle, but we don't like to talk about it"

^^ I actually composed a few versions of that post, each one more sarcastic than the last, until even I was rolling my eyes and telling myself to fuck off. So I scrapped it and went with the simpler version you see above. I am growing up!

I was thinking the very same thing. About myself, of course. Not you, Thorn. You'll never grow up, thankfully. You TMO's very own Peter Pan.

But, this thread has made me take a long hard look at myself. I've done a lot of growing up since this thread started. Oh, yes...

If you Google it you'll find that phrase has already been coined. It's edge-play slang. It means when you cum in a menstruating fanny, blob it out onto a moist wipe, twist the moist wipe into a 'bomb' and wash it down with a shot of oven cleaner. The oven cleaner eats through the bomb in your stomach and you erupt in an explosion of pink, white and green foam.

I knew about it, but never thought anyone would ever actually... I mean would you..? With Ralph..?And then to have a child with him..? I guess it's true what they say, blood is thicker than water, only a member of your immediate family would be prepared to do that.
