falling icons on new year's day
Afternoon at the chateau.
Flicking through the channels on the sexevision.
And lo!
My eye alights on a new ad for the Snodgrass internet broadband company.
The ad is witty, self referential and quite appealing.
It features an appearance from an old British socialist worker pop group called Heaven 17.
It's actually them.
There they stand.
Oddly likeable, not absolutely untarnished by the years, and laudably willing to poke fun at themselves.
Odd too that the Marxian singers of that masterpiece of agit prop: "Let's play masters and servants," are now working for an internet service provider.
Whatever next?
Me doing a joint promo for Al Qaeda, Qatar Airways and Sky News?
Say it ain't so Osama, say it ain't so.

We didn't sing "Masters And Servants," you great hipster doophus. The Marxian masterpiece of ours which you're trying to think of is "We Don't Like This Fascist Groove Thing." It was about President Reagan. Remember?
Heaven 17
That was the one. But who sang "Masters And Servants?"
It was Depeche Mode.
Heaven 17
