Being stalked by Sam Neill: not puff
There's an ad going about for a pizza chain just now, trying to install "puff" as a synonym for "cool", as in "This music is really puff". I shan't be adding this to my vocabulary. I haven't heard a more pathetic attempt at creating an advertising buzzword since a hayfever medication tried to insinuate itself into a simile for "fast", as in "[something] goes like a Zirtec". It's not happening, Zirtec people.
There is, however, a great ad by (I assume) the Red Meat Marketing Board exhorting us all to eat more red meat. I have no intention of actually eating more red meat at all, but I still like the ad. It shows the Ages of Man, developed by eating red meat from ape through to the highest peak of evolution, Sam Neill. It then shows a family happily tucking into their evening meal of red meat - and lots of it - watched by Sam, who is lurking in the shrubbery outside their window and looking as creepy as all get out. It finishes with a group of people, including Sam, dancing insanely in the desert. I'm not sure this is sending quite the message the red meat people intended.
And a question, O Clever F-List, because it's annoying me that I can't remember: what was the name of the temperamental composer muppet on Sesame Street? He looked a bit like Guy Smiley and was always struggling to compose a nursery rhyme. "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went... Oh, it's no good! It just won't work!"
