The weird thing about this advert is that the point is wholly valid. Mobile phones are genuinely life-savers, they really do bring people together and the service is utterly invaluable in this modern age of ours. So why, I have to ask, is this advert so damned excruciating to watch? Why is it impossible to [...]

Mazuma Mobile is the farm. It’s where they send the blind old sheepdog who just can’t herd the livestock anymore. They tell the children it’s a special place where he gets to live his retirement years chasing cats and eating Winalot, when really they place a shotgun behind his ears, empty his brains upon the [...]
