Baby lying alseep in crib and starts to dance to Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel in its sleep. Creepy, creepy, creepy.

Ooh, yes I KNOW! Babies shouldn't be able to move in that way - and WHY are they all asleep and then suddenly dancing! It makes no sense!

the HSA rabbit, which may be the only puppet for which we have evidence that it's terrified of anal intrusion?

I know nothing of this rabbit. But the Duracell bunnies are totally shaking their little synthetic rabbit-bottoms at the camera in a provocative fashion. Maybe they can have a chat with the HSA rabbit about its concerns.

God, I'm so with Sax (and others) on that El Paso ad. The way young couples are often represented in ads staggers me. Remember the one for (I think) First Direct insurance?

Him: (Grumpily) "Did you call round the insurance companies for the best quote on our car insurance?"
Her: (Sweetly, but with resignaton) "No, I just called First Direct, and they did the hard work for me"
Him: (Irritated) "But my dad says..."
Her: (Smiling patiently)...
Me: (Rising from my seat) "LEAVE HIM!"

But if we're talking about irritating car ads, I have only one word for you: 'Spafe'.

There's an SUV ad appearing in magazines that has the usual shot of the Damned Thing on a mountain with clouds and wilderness behind, and the text reads: "From the B, to the L, to the I, to the N, to the G"

(shudder). No explanation needed, I guess.
