Listen to Magic FM. It’s just like being dead

Jeez, here’s proof that if you ask a numpty to do a job, then you’ll get numpty work. As if to prove that you can’t find anything less original than a discerning radio listener of saddo middle of the road mum music, Magic FM asked its listeners to dream up ideas for its marketing campaign. A pity then that the winner was someone who probably has one foot in the grave, having manufactured an image familiar to those who guffawed through the laugh-a-minute 1957 Ingmar Bergman movie, The Seventh Seal.
The poster campaign is called “Good mood”. If you’re baffled and thinking “so what?”, then take a glance at the happy fellow leading the pack in the black & white snap. Yes, Death really is this fun. Chess, anyone?

I hate Magic fm with a burning fucking passion... its everything that is wrong with local radio; with the humour stripped out and any soul that was left filtered into some kind of retrogazing ignorant unbelievely lifeless bollocks.

(Welcome back :) )

Yeah, welcome back! Quite frustrating it was to keep checking to see if... Hope you had a good stay away from the chimps.
And we don't receive Magic fm out here (fortunately I'd say).

Yeah, cheers. Don’t ever do it again. I only do one eulogy per departed blog.
