- 0811Y41S2Y56S0NI turn on the TV and I see an advert for Kinder Surprise. "What", you may
- 0801Nask, "Is wrong with that?". Let me, oh eager to interupt one, explain:
- 0801N
- 0801NIn the past we had the "Tiny Terrapins", which were, and lets not play this
- 0801Ndown, absolutely brilliant. Masterfull, really smart. You couldn't fault
- 0821Y27C1Y42C7Y47C1Y49C6Nthem, one of them had some pipes which he blew on, I mean thats genius really
- 0801Nisn't it? Whats more they all lived on a desert island, and one of them had a
- 0801Nhammock!
- 0801N
- 0801NThen we had "Crazy Croccos". Not as good as "Tiny Terrapins", but still nice
- 0801Nenougth. One guy had a walkman, another had a guitar. Well worth collecting,
- 0801Nbut slightly Americanised.
- 0801N
- 0801NThen we had the "Sharky BaBas". They were shit. I mean "Sharky Baba", what
- 0801Nkind of maladjusted freak thought that up. Millions of kids all over the
- 0801Ncountry had nightmares about evil "Half shark, half cute king of the
- 0811Y58S2Y73S0NElephants" chasing them around Arabian palaces. Not good. Kinder surprise,
- 0801Nbought down in flames by their own ambition. Sales took weeks to recover.
- 0801N
- 0811Y22S2Y37S0NMany months later and Kinder surprise launch a comeback attempt. And what
- 0801Nhave they done to bring themselves back into the lime light. What new
- 0801Nmasterpiece have they thrown in our filthy little faces. "Party Pengos" or
- 0801Nsomething. What kind of a toy is that? They've all got stupid little hats and
- 0811Y10C1Y69C6Nearmuffs. When was the last time you saw a penguin wearing ear muffs? They
- 0801Ndidn't spend millions of years evolving a blubbey layer of fat just to wear
- 0801Nsodding ear muffs. If I was a penguin and not a person with gills then I
- 0801Nwould complain...
- 0801N
- 0801NWhat next I ask: "Wasted Walruses" all with little model spliffs. "Mating
- 0801NMastodons" cute little elephants in a variaty of sexual acts (the cunnilingus
- 0801None is my personal favourite)...
