Quaker, in their wisdom, have decided to use old animation star Windy Miller to front their latest ad campaign to bring their numerous oats based cereals back into the limelight.
I have no problem with rehashing old favourites to sell products. What I find mildy disturbing is the fact that Windy appears to be something of a ladies’ man in the ads, chasing the local talent in an attempt to “sow his oats”. There are also some posters around featuring Windy surrounded by plasticine versions of car show blondes.
Why do I have a problem with this? Let’s look at the evidence, shall we?
The long hair. The dress. The perfectly coordinated accessories! Obviously Windy likes a bit of dressing up, making a regular appearance at Drag Night held every Wednesday in Camberwick Green’s only gay bar as Wendy Miller.
Unless our friend is in fact a lesbian trapped in a man’s body a la Eddie Izzard, I’m not buying the whole thing for one minute.

Mushrooms are vile umbrellas, protecting you against all that is good and pure.

For the remaining two of you in the world who don’t know, the renounced band, Rock Bottom, will be playing at The Greyhound pub in Dunstable from 7.30 pm tonight. Not to be confused with the comparitively inferior band, The Rock Bottom Remainders.
Be there or hear about it at your next local CIMA training course. Unfortunately I can’t make it; I have a prior engagement involving shampoo. (I kid, I would love to be there but no doubt I’ll see the pictures).
