mole mission

My, my - the holidays do come and go as quickly as a glue huffing pickpocket plying his trade on the hordes of gothkidz in Camden. Been busy with nothing.

A while back, I noticed this new Kinder Surprise display in a shop in Hammersmith near my workplace whose only other positive attribute is a good price on large bottles of proper Nigerian Guinness and realised that it was an instructive example of the everyday obscenity that the world needs more of. This Mole Mission™ is clearly pornographic in intent - the gleeful rodent wielding an impossibly violent electric phallus of some sort. I have since seen it elsewhere and can only congratulate the designers and product planners who unleashed this little Teutonic jape into the retail landscape.
