The perfect marriage of product and spokescreature

News reaches us that Kelly Osbourne is to advertise crisps.
The ad will see Kelly and her band in their flat, playing her forthcoming single Come Dig Me Out at full volume, while enjoying the Doritos. Talk about preaching to the choir.
Actually, the one thing that might make us finally end our long-standing love affair with crisps is the thought that eating more of them might make us look like Kelly wannabes.
Whatever next? Atomic Kitten hawking pikey girlswear that's available exclusively from Bhs? Oh, wait ...

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
