Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Niederdorf?
I was recently told by a friend that watching so much House M.D had persuaded him to quit smoking due to the terrible fear he felt upon finding a perfectly innocuous lump in his throat.
I disagree.
If House has taught me anything, it's not that being healthier is a good way to improve your chances of making it through to the next morning.
No.
It's that anything can kill you at anytime in a horrifying smörgåsbord of different ways, and you never know where it's going to come from because everything in your environment is potentially lethal.
It must be like living in Australia.
So why worry?
It's only the same as everything in this world being unarguably temporary thus rendering life inherently meaningless - assuming, of course, that there is no God, which would be the one way of preventing everything being so futile, but then the world is making it increasingly difficult by the day to have faith in that prospect, isn't it?
Yeah, scary right?

Quite the opposite.
Even God knows how many months after the dynamic return of the late Wispa they are still running ad campaigns in shops announcing its comeback.
'Back by Popular Demand'?
Who are these people demanding the return of a completely arbitrary snack (Aeros are exactly the same!) that is more air than chocolate. Just buy a Dairy Milk, it's the same chocolate but with more chocolate!
Also, how bad does your chocolate bar have to be selling in order to take it off the market? A Cadbury's product at that! How often do top range chocolate items get taken off the shelves? (unless they're Boost Guarana's and there has to be a government health intervention...sob)
Perhaps they were taken away with the express intention of bringing them back. That's even worse.
Could Wispas really have been that essential to the snacking world, and could that many people have been phoning, writing and emailing in their droves, campaigning for the return of their fave choco-snack, when 90% of the people I've asked didn't even realise it was gone?
FUDGE THIS NOISE
