Yes, agree absolutely on the shakey science in advertising gunk. It's getting a lot better than it used to be, I suppose, but it's still painful.
Political bitchfests where Parliament fling sadomasochistic verbal insults at each other instead of fixing any problems.
Tabloids.
The environmentally-friendly craze. It serves a practical purpose, but it leads to such idiocy. Tesco has built an environmentally-friendly supermarket somewhere. When asked if they'd make an effort to go there, several members of the public said they would to make sure it gets used. They obviously forget that that will multiply the overall pollution because they have to drive there. Oh, and there'd be less emissions still if the place didn't exist.
Tesco. What an arsehole of a company. 30% of the U.K. market? What do they seriously need that for, in the name of sanity? I mean, it's really great that people can now get all their food by conveniently driving further than is to walk to the local shops, but when the local shops are outcompeted by Tesco's soulless, heartless monopoly it makes you want to move into a ditch and survive off slurry.
