  • "This poster campaign seeks to signal the changes on the way by apologising for various perceived sins, including complacency, predictability and the afore-mentioned negativity. None of the posters mention the newspaper by name, but simply carry its Eros logo." — I'd thought there was going to be a twist to these posters, but even then I found them quite startling, for want of a less dramatic word. They are even more so given they are, really, just saying sorry.

  • "It positions Gordon Brown as some kind of sinister interloper in the inheritance of the child - genes from Mummy, genes from Daddy, random bad stuff from WHO IS THIS MAN? What has he to do with the FAMILY UNIT (which is two-parent and closely biologically related)? Is Brown some form of intruder, inserting his loathsome inheritance into the otherwise closed system?
