Television Land!

Michelle, Addicted to Adverts...

Yes. it's absolutely true. I've become a TV addict solely due to the vastly entertaining nature of the advertisements.

Here are two more, and for once they do not feature either nekkid people or condoms. But they do feature, um, the completely frank, matter-of-fact Dutch approach to bodily functions...

Advert Number #1: A cute little boy of around 4 or 5 is sitting on the toilet. Yes, you read that right. All of a sudden he crinkles up his cute little face with vast distaste and announces, "Dat stinks!" No need to translate what that means! Two seconds later in comes his beaming, beautiful mother with a wonderfully fabulous new air freshener guaranteed to get rid of all unpleasant odors. Sigh.

Advert #2: Very attractive 30something woman. In fact, I thought at first she was advertisng a new skin care product because she looked so great. But in reality she was talking very frankly about, um, intestinal activity (or lack thereof) and how eating a certain yoghurt type of food with added fibre totally sorted her out, and these days she's never constipated.

I have to go now because I can hear the current program on TV finishing which means the adverts will be on soon! Can't wait!

See you soon,

Square-eyed Michelle :-)
