Paddington now a whore for Marmite

Seriously,

“But I always have marmalade in my sandwiches!” exclaimed Paddington, when he was first approached by the advertising agency.

“That’s exactly why we think you would be perfect for the campaign,” they explained. “We want people who normally have something different in their sandwiches to try Marmite”. (Paddington Stars in a New Series of Marmite Ads)

This is just plain wrong. So fucking wrong. Thanks for taking a shit on my childhood, Mr. Brown.

    Man, that stuff….It’s more than an acquired taste to say the least.

    I like marmite. I eat it quite regularily in my lunch sandwiches. But I don’t like this. I mean, what?!
    Are we going to get adverts in nursery rhymes next?
