If you haven't already got involved with
Spotify
, TB would urge you to get on it asap. It's basically a free program to download that lets you listen to pretty much any song, ever written, ever, ish. Every twenty minutes or so you get an thirty odd second audio advert with some images. This was all fine when it was bands and albums being advertised but for some reason today guess who has turned up to ruin the party.
That's right, every twenty minutes the government ram their latest shit initiative and ideas down TB's throat. Is there anywhere that we can escape their clutches, will there ever be a sanctuary from this overbearing and constantly infringing state? You can't turn on the TV or radio without thinking you are going to be done for benefit fraud or hit by a train. You can't go for a drink without being told you are going to choke in a pile of your own vomit, or get raped, and even the bloody adverts behind the urinal in TB's local have started talking to you, reminding you not to forget to wash your hands don'tyouknowthankyouverymuch. It's no wonder that the taxpayer is second only to
P&G
in terms of money spent on advertising in Britain.
Why do they have to ruin everything fun? Why can't they just leave us alone?

They don't seem to have infiltrated Tunerec yet. It takes more patience but so far seems to be a nanny-free state.
It allows me to listen to Donna Summer (loudly) rather than having to confront my own alcohol consumption/driving/potential obesity.
I wrote on a similar vein just a couple of days ago:

I'd like to know what the advertising budget for government departments is.
spotify made my computer crash repeatedly.
Just tried Spotify and 20 minutes or so, had exactly the same annoying directgov ad.
They should have an option to block government ads.
Back to Napster for me, if you pay for it there are no ads (like spotify) and it has 7m tracks (unlike spotify)
Just came on again, that's twice in 3 fucking adverts!
Does anybody know much of my taxes they're wasting every time I'm subjected to one of these pointless ads?
No but if you find out and email the answer to editor@torybear.com TB will give you a prize.
Can't get the information off the web or spotify?
I imagine a FOI request would be needed to yield it
Ugh, and I thought the infuriating DEFRA adverts before every video on Metacafe were bad.
They like to remind us who's in control, keeps us nicely subjugated.
