I was listening to the new bond theme on the radio this morning and as much as I want to like it, I can’t. In the words of the late, great Eric Morecambe, Jack White and Alicia Keys are ‘playing all the right notes not necessarily in the right order’.
An offensive waste of money is what the public are saying. Apparently the comedic phone call made by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross was offensive, and there is uproar that the license fee we all begrudge paying is funding distasteful entertainment.
The tabloids are often full of boozy Brit stories: some poor chav emptying his half digested kebab in the face of an old lady; a footballer’s floozy flashing her lady garden to vaguely interested paparazzi; sensitive musicians planting a fist in the face of a star-struck fan. The list could go on.
Dear Google UK,
Do you realise you have goo’d in the Queen’s face? We feel truly offended and wonder what her Royal Highness might make of this surely treasonable act! If putting goo in the face of royalty is not distasteful enough, why has Her Majesty been placed as the lower case ‘g’, when surely she warrants heading the capital ‘G’ of the (once respected) Google logo?
