I Give Up on Television Advertising

I’ve just seen an advertisement for Zoo Weekly—or perhaps Zoo Magazine; I neither know nor, at this point, care—that showed the offices festooned with women in their underwear swinging on swingsets.

I realise I’m not the demographic for this magazine, but I still couldn’t stop myself turning to Nick and saying, “They do realise that we make up more than half of the population, don’t they? And that we have the franchise?”

Nick points out that the demographic is men who experience a certain sense of unease when faced with the facts I mentioned, but still.

Half the world’s population, here—we no longer need to work in our underwear.
