Orange, stick to mobile phones.....

[Rusty Shackleford]

and leave the attempted social engineering to the BBC.

That advert which involves the unlikely combination of Busta Rhymes and volunteer work is the most pathetic attempt to portray Britain's 'multi-cultural' youth as a cool but caring body of misunderstood young saints. The girls in that ad are using their phones to film assaults on goths as we speak.

sing it from the rooftops. I know some people on SZ aren't the biggest Charlie Brooker fans (and have valid reasons for it) but his thoughts on the whole Orange 'I am who I am because of everyone' bowlocks are still worth recording:

"somehow manages to be cloying, irritating, pretentious, irrelevant and baffling all at once: If ever an advert deserved a punch in the face, it's this one."

It's a rare thing when Shackleford, loz and a Guardian columnist are united in their contempt for something. I think that shows the enormity of this ad's awfulness.
