Text your postcode....

I'm watching Virgin1 this evening - 'Terminator' and 'Chuck' - and the thing I can't help but notice is all the sex adverts. Text xxxxx and you'll speak to a nubile young wench in your area. Um, uh huh. But, no, you won't, not really.

Do the advertisers really think we're *that* stupid? or are we? They obviously make enough money to stay open.

I first came across Virgin when it was a tiny record shop behind Newcastle City Hall, part of a small chain, and it was the record label for the Sex Pistols. I bought 'Pretty Vacant' there. That was the start of it all and I'm pleased to have been part of it. But I don't approve of it's sex adverts. O no.
