PROMOTIONAL CHRISTMAS: Placebo’s “interactive” advent calendar
The surprisingly still-going original “emo” rock group Placebo is celebrating Christmas on the internet, with a depressingly workmanlike series of product announcements. Did they ever do any songs in which they moaned about capitalism or the over-commercialisation of the modern world?
Or have we got them confused with the Manic Street Preachers?
How nice to know the band is thinking of us – and our £49.99 gift-buying budget – this yule.

Is that £49.99 per gift, per person or for the whole christmas shebang?

That’s the total. £2.99 for a Tesco Value chicken, then the rest on things from Ebuyer for me.

Tesco Value Chicken? You heartless bastard.
Should be an organic free-range ethically reared Goose from that Whittingstall bloke or nothing at all.
Although that may blow the 49.99 budget somewhat. And let’s face it, Christmas should be all about ludicrous amounts of electronics goods so fair enough I suppose.
