That government ad campaign that's on at the moment trying to promote healthier living: the 'swap it' one.
It's fucking retarded.
For those of you who haven't been exposed to the brain melting, aural faeces on the telly, here's the principle from the website:
What’s a swapper?
It’s simple really. It just means swapping some of the things
I’m doing now for healthier choices. That way I can lose my belly, without losing all the things I love. It’s easy!
Really? REALLY?!
Swap 'A' for 'B', but don't lose 'A'?
ARGH!
Here's the top 'swap suggestion' on the website, submitted by some special unit from the general populous:
James Adams from Gulgong suggests:
Swap An hour at the pub of an afternoon for an hour doing bootcamp at the local oval
Well that's a fucking brillant idea! Instead of having to give up going to the pub, I can 'swap' the pub for exercise at the oval; because that totally means I can still go to the pub!
All I have to do is figure out how to be in two places at once! After that, boot camp should be a walk in the park!
I'm all for trying to encourage people to be healthier (hell, I need to kick myself up the arse at the moment), but don't try and feed us all some bullshit line like we're imbeciles, show some damn respect.
