Anyone who owns Charlie Brooker's TV Go Home book might be familiar with an article spoofing Heat magazine called "Mark Jeffries walks past some crates". Well, the DM have finally recreated that spoof article with an article about Myleene Klass walking past a postman's delivery cart.

I'm going to have to flag this one. It actually does have a point.

Yes, it's a terribly written piece of shite penned by a talentless cretin but it's not simply a case of "Minor Sleb walks passed postal trolley!".
That's just the teaser and is almost irrelevant.

What they've done is taken that bit of irrelevance and clumsily shoe-horned it into a (payed?) advertorial for Marks & Spencer. With a bit of Starbucks thrown in for good measure.

If it belongs anywhere it's in Blatant Advertising in Articles.

After reading that, I don't know if I should shoot myself or shoot the "author".

Her hair, my friend, is blowing in the wind

I find it appropriate they referred to her hair as a "mane" when she is often said to be horse-like in appearance.

Too many French bashing comments even for the Mail apparently.
