Becky Taylor.

I go to the cinema a lot. What can I say? I like films but the thing I'm not overly keen on is the adverts before the film. I understand how these things work and why we have to have them but do we just have to keep having the same ones over and over again, mix it up a bit. I don't think I have been to the cinema in the last few years without seeing those stupid orange movies advert. I am usually there on a wednesday and I am pretty sure that alongside me everyone else there has used orange wednesday to buy their tickets so why do they feel the need to inform me. If I hadn't used it I would be pretty gutted to have paid full price while my orange phone sits in my bag and I watch an advert about how much cheaper it could have been.

One of my favourite adverts of recent times has been the NHS Smoke Free campaigns. I say favourite but I only mean it if the meaning of 'favourite' has been changed to mean that it really annoys me and I am pretty sick of it. Here it is in case you have been fortunate to miss it, I am not spending my misery of seeing at again alone.

The line that sticks out to me is "I'm not scared of Becky Taylor". The reason it sticks out is because Becky Taylor petrifies me, just look at her scary face. I could be seeing a horror film at the cinema and the film wouldn't be the scariest thing I would see. Its not an insult to the small girl who is playing the role of Becky Taylor but instead everything she stands for. I reckon Becky Taylor would be the type of child who carries a knife and is into underage drinking. She poses a much more immediate threat to the other child than her parent smoking does. If anything the parent smoking is an unessacary disctraction to Becky Taylor's real plan, its not immediate so while the child is preoccupied with this scare mongered worry (I reckon Becky Taylor gave the mom the fags in the first place) Becky is just waiting in that isolated alley way ready to pounce.

Over active imagination? Possibly. I'm not risking it though. Thank you NHS for flagging this up to me. Just like the advert on the bus about ginger children (Thats will probably be my next blog).

NHS and Knife Crime,
