Stupid is as stupid does

"Lose a stone a week with these two simple but odd tips"

I saw this ad just now when I was browsing Facebook. Are people stupid? You cant lose a stone a week unless you lop off a leg!

Time and time again we are bombarded with images and statements that are just not true. From the humble hamburger picture that looks nothing like the one you've just been served to the anti ageing cream that can make you look 10 years younger in just 4 weeks. All you have to do is read the small print at the bottom of the screen "67% of 109 women surveyed said they noticed visible differences". You wanna do the math? That's not a lot of women agreeing.

This world suffers from a great many things but Id have to say that stupidity is definitely in the top 5. From fashion to health to borrowing money, people are told something then believe that its totally true. Instead of doing their research, instead of reading the small print, they jump right in and buy the dress, try the face cream, get a loan and then wonder why they look like a prat, arent looking 50 years younger in 10 minutes and cant pay the damn loan back without sacrificing food for the next 7 years of their lives.

THINK!!! Just THINK!!!

That's all you need to do.

Whatever happened to the saying "if something seems too good to be true then it usually is"? Hmmn yeah, its usually said in hindsight, AFTER you've just been swindled out of 5,000 quid by a South African Prince via email.

Maybe they should be teaching more practical skills in school like erm COMMON SENSE!!! coz it certainly ain't being taught at home. Yeah yeah, another person blaming the parents. Well I'm sorry but some parents need fucking blaming. Or maybe just vetting system before you're allowed to knock out a kid.

I'm no fan of the disease that is known as "Celebrity" and a lot of this shit falls at their feet too. Time and time again we see them on the front of papers and magazine looking way too thin, forgiving partners for cheating or beating, apologising for cheating or beating or being caught doing a line of something that ain't baby powder in the toilets of some hip happening club. These are supposed to be role models!

Talking of which, why the fuck is Kate Moss still on my TV? I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw her advertising... wait for it.... "Addict" by Dior. I mean seriously, is that someones idea of funny? Not that I am a big buyer of Dior products but THAT will insure I never buy a Dior product EVER again. This woman is epitome of everything that is wrong with the fashion and beauty industry. She was exposed as a smack head and alcoholic for fuck sake and yet she's still allowed to advertise clothes and makeup.

How about advertising rehab you dirty skank?!!
