National Lottery insensitive. Cashing in Boomtown Rats "Shooting spree" hit.

See an add in the paper with the National Lottery using the title "Tell me why I don’t like Mondays?" for a Mondays Million promotion. I think this disgusting very insensitive to use this as a title considering what this track was about and also in the aftermath of the school shootings in Kauhajoki in Finland. It is also even more disgusting that they are encouraging people to gamble on it. Advertising Standards where are you?

Red Alert

Find something worthwhile to moan about... to be honest I never even knew what that song was about.

I thought it was really insensitive when the mobile network 3 used the song "If you leave me now" to advertise their service. I mean there must have been so many people who were going through breakups at the time who saw that ad. Far more than the number of Finnish people affected by that shooting who read Irish newspapers.

I can't believe anybody could be so insensitive. :rolleyes:

These days they could put it out any time the liked and it'd be linked to a school shooting somewhere.

There are monkeys dying all over the world because they have learned how to sniff aerosols and your worrying about school shootings in Kauhajoki !!!

Take the RED pill and relax !!

I can't tell if you're a troll or a Joe Duffy caller. Either way, go research this one and whine the next time you hear it used to sell children's toys.

I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese

Someone should release a cover version of the song to cash in on all the publicity generated by the Finnish school shooting.

I think it's disgusting that you have the insensitivity to post about this song on a Monday. For shame, OP. For shame.

More an insult to vertically challenged mountains, I'd have thought.
