Removing the middle man from marketing.

For almost sixty years we have been induced to behave as consumers solely through the medium of television. There is no doubt as to the power that television advertising has wielded and the enormous influence it has held over our lives in all this time but times change and even the TV is now having to compete with the one force that has invaded all our homes…the internet.

Advertising has dictated how we live our lives; what we eat, what we buy, what we wear, what shows we watch – and it has all been done via the advertiser appealing to us, the consumer, via the medium of electronic means. Now, via the internet and the interactive marketing agency the consumer is targeted differently. Almost directly in fact. Just look around the next blog you land on – you will no doubt see advertisements in one form or another, almost all the sites you will visit in a day will feature advertising in the form of direct marketing aimed at you the site visitor. This is the new form of marketing – the advertisement where the marketer speaks directly to you.

When will Peter Andre reach his last chapter…?

When he was with Katie the shows were okay to watch. Then last year we had the LA episodes and they were cringe-making to say the least, especially seeing this man desperately trying to score it big in the US…which he has not yet done.

Then he took it into his head that he would do better on his own and so dumped his higher earning, higher profile wife who had made his new found UK fame possible – he would never have gotten far out of the jungle riding on the back of songs like ‘Insania‘ now would he…? we all know the answer to that…

But what really irritates me about Peter Andre is how much airplay his ex-wife Katie Price gets from him on his endless ‘Next Chapter’ shows. For someone who has ‘moved on’ he talks about her too bloody often. He thrives on public sympathy, reads out private text messages from Katie to the cameras, whines about not being allowed to show/exploit Harvey on camera in his show – Harvey is NOT your child Pete!

In his latest series Pete has just bought another house, spoken again how ‘strong’ he is these days, how ‘secure’, how ‘confident’…it is over a year mate since you dumped your family – WE are over your divorce – I suggest YOU do the same and close the last chapter!

Justice for little Ryan Lovell-Hancox – murdered by two people you wouldn’t leave a dog with.

Justice today was served in the case of little Ryan Lovell-Hancox who was beaten to death over a period of a month by two retarded, alcoholic drug addicts. The little boy had been handed over to these two cretins by his own mother, Amy Hancox, because she could not be bothered looking after her own child. In return for £40 a week Ryan was beaten, starved, slammed into walls all while the dogs which belonged to Kayley Boleyn and Christopher Taylor received far better care than this poor little boy.

This poor child did not stand a chance. A child with a mother AND a father should not be passed around to complete idiots who wouldn’t know their arse from their elbows; a child with both parents alive and well should NOT be bartered or palmed off to two imbeciles for weeks at a time. There are organisations which could have looked after this child properly…where was this child’s father and HIS family?  where was HIS duty of care in all of this?

This little boy spent his last four weeks of life in abject pain, squalor and misery due to a decision that his mother will regret for the rest of her life. That child was hers and hers to protect – she failed him. If anything, one would hope that Amy Hancox receives proper treatment for her self-confessed ‘mental problems’ before she ever considers having any more children.

Kayley Boleyn and Christopher Taylor (above) have been sentenced to life in prison. May they rot in hell.
