I fucking hate the Special K ads. There's one over here where a woman keeps finding little post-it notes on food saying things like 'Be good!' and 'Stay strong!' until she finds one on the Special K saying 'Go ahead!' and whilst I think it was meant to be that she'd written them for herself (back when, y'know, she still had the energy to hold a pencil) I just kept thinking 'Get out of this relationship, your partner is a nasty controlling piece of work with serious issues'.

There's another one where Special K allows a woman to look youthful and dewy at a pool whilst surrounded by (actually mostly quite average-sized) older women in a lot of stylised slap. Because, I don't even know, Special K stops you ageing now? It's nonsense.

I also noticed that this week's Radio Times (a TV listing magazine) was recommending a diet programme or a 'look at this 400lb person!' programme pretty much every day. I will not be watching any of them; I can't wait until the New Years Resolutions season is over.
