Sorry. Rare occasion where the picture up here is not of a chio-bu.
So there I was, sitting in a train on the North-East line, on the way to meet my cousin for drinks. I was a good lad, just sitting there, pensively, thoughts on what is the meaning of life and beyond. (only to realise that the answer is 42)
But suddenly, my gaze was broken by an advertisement showing on the screen in the carriage. A motorcyclist had fallen and hurt himself. A crowd had gathered. Typically, pointing fingers, murmuring to themselves... This struck a chord, cos I'm a rider myself.
But lo and behold, Miss Olsen pops her face through the crowd and reaches out to the fallen rider. He reaches for her too.
*Scene*
Ms Olsen is sitting on a chair, there is a needle up her... arm. Be a blood donor, it reads.
Oh, come on! Cheesiest of cheesy ads. Ms Olsen as an angel of peace, love and whatever? To be the only one in the milling crowd to reach and assist the man? It is too coincidental that she has become the incumbent party's poster girl during the run-up to the Election. Now she is everywhere. Putting a soft, Eurasian, and female face to the Party.
Coincidence? Think not. Can't wait for her to get some sex-scandal or something. Too bad all our media is controlled. If this was America or the UK, you can be sure the tabloids would have taken out contracts on her...
The ad is irritating. Her face on it makes it worse. And they play is ad naseum as well. Sigh... Need to mentally block it out next time.
