Well now that we have that sorted, I will continue.

Life is full of questions. How much chocolate should I eat today? How much time should I spend being anti-social? I am here to answer these questions.

Recently, I was speaking to someone half my age about McDonald's. Now get this right, I do not go to Maccas often... and by often I mean I have been there 3 times in my life. I asked him to describe his favourite meal there and he described it in scarily good detail for a 7 year old...

This is what he said. "So it has a yummy bun with seeds on top, and inside you have the most amazingly delicious bacon, perfectly cooked. Under that, is a piece of chicken, not fried, um, oh yea grilled. Under that was juicy lettuce, perfectly sliced tomato, and some lovely ketchup. All of this was so perfectly put together."

It was amazing to see how well he could describe something like that. When I asked him to describe what was in his favourite salad, he had no idea what was in one... Now I have no idea whether this means he either has never eaten salad before, or if he is just very forgetful for healthy things.

What I am saying here is not that kids can talk well, but merely what this world has come to. Things such as Maccas, Hungry Jacks, Burger King and KFC are consuming what we eat. (Hehe see what I did there). Now don't get me wrong, I love a good meal of Hungry Jacks or KFC but really, it is all we see in our advertisements, malls, streets and mail.

All this brings me to the topic - advertisements. You know, the small things that we see every single day that actually are not so small... We are comsumed by the ads we see all the time. Off the top of my head, places I see ads are - TV, windows, magazines, news papers, tablets, computers. That's just in a second of thinking.

Some ads we see are really bad... and I won't even mention them or I would be shot by you.

So whenever you are lookin at ads just think - if James was here, he would shoot the page. You are welcome.
