    I do think we should start thinking in terms of anti-brand. There's going to have to be a backlash.

    People are going to (hopefully) become annoyed with the overly-devious techniques that the larger corporations are using. I think the UK advertising industry is reaching new heady heights of bullshit.

    If I hear many more twee, naive, voice-overs proclaiming the virtues of yoghurt drinks or dating sites or electricity companies that 'care' I think I'm going to make it my life's mission to bring those responsible to an early grave :)

    Advertisers, don't try to make me 'feel' anything about your product - give me facts about a product that might serve a useful function in my life and let me choose, goddamnit!.
