Sag - Be Gone!
It brings me great joy to report to you here today that the ever so…ever so disturbing Swiftcover adverts featuring Iggy Pop have come to an end.
It appears that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have bought this atrocity to a complete halt due to the fact that a) Iggy Pop was implying that he had insurance cover from Swiftcover, and infact, didn’t and b) People were misled to believe that they offered policies to musicians, which infact, they also did not.
Those of you who’s retinas had burnt out of their eyeballs after the viewings of these adverts, please note that Swiftcover will not cover you for this, and I suggest a more reputable company, Direct Line. Wait….do they even do health insurance?

And on one side, the BBC with Tonight’s The Night, and on the other, ITV with Saturday Night Takeaway…
So here I am, sitting watching BBC One, and this programme called ‘Tonights the Night’ comes on. After watching 10 minutes of it, I almost instantaneously become incredibly frustrated, bored and embarrassed that such a programme be allowed to air on the largest television provider in the world’s ‘home channel’.
I can’t help but somewhat relate this feeling to Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. Is it me or is it the overall aurora that Saturday Night Television gives off? Tacky-ness…
I don’t know why I wrote this blog post. Perhaps a desperation to get away from the tele just for 5 minutes. Ah well, LOST tomorrow, 24 on Monday, Tuesday…meh, and Wednesday – The Apprentice. Can’t be bad thereon.
