Like everyone, I'm baffled by this - but I think with a tweak it could have worked. I don't do my Christmas shopping at Argos, not because I think they only do toys, but because it's where I'd buy a drill or a kettle, not a nice gift item. Maybe that's the perception they needed to break?
Why is Will from the Inbetweeners* doing a TV advert spreading awareness that Argos sells more than just toys? Of course it does, it’s Argos. I feel like there’s a whole cultural perception of Argos that’s passed me by

It can't even make the Wicked sequel look alluring.

Tap II follows the best sequel path by being a different kind of movie to its parent film. See also Aliens and Terminator II.

Watching Spinal Tap II. @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social is the best one in a fine movie.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

They cut Wicked in half, not realising that in doing so they had made two of it.

The stuff on X about disinfo accounts reminds me of the time I tried to get a Cybernat account which was obviously Russian or something to say which was their favourite sketch character on "Naked Video" - something which any true Scot would be able to do but this particular account couldn't.
