Is it just me (and probably Paige, from Karma) who thinks this: the new advert on TV for Oasis drinks is really scary. The one I’m talking about is where the man is at the Hoppings (I’ve said Hoppings, but am suddenly wondering if this is a local word for travelling fair, or a universal word) is at a side show and is spraying water in to a clown’s head. Into its open mouth, actually. Then you see this poor man later, in bed, in a darkened bedroom. He opens his eyes to see…the clown! In his room! I think it then squirts water in to his mouth, but by that time, I’ve usually either hid behind a pillow or changed channel (if the remote isn’t down the side of the sofa or under the dog, where it usually is).
There is actually a thread running on Yahoo Answers calling for the advert to be banned on the grounds that: clowns are freaky and should be banned and someone nearly ‘cacked it’.
