It is always amusing to read the banal letters sent in to the Sky
magazine which has popped through the post today. But surely they are not serious or real. Quote from today Robert Carlyle was great in full Monty... Conveniently Sky have a feature on him and his new show. So we are to believe that a member of the public this last month was seized with the urge to write in about Robert just at the time his new programme is hitting the airways. Same goes for the frankly more disturbing letter above it about Eammon's Holme autobiography. Real letters or blatant advertising? |

Wasn't there a case a while back when there was a letter from someone saying how much they loved watching something etc before it had actually been broadcast? |

You remember correctly, a quick search on google groups found http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk....07548cf1d05 8 "From: Dave Porter Date: Thurs, Jan 8 1998 12:00 am Email: (Dave Porter) Groups: uk.media.tv.sky snip A few months ago a 'letter' congratulated Sky for an excellant film they'd shown that actually didn't recieve its premiere till a month after the magazine was published. No not a month it was two days. However that was enough to show that they make the letters up, no surprise there. Many other magazines do the same thing. --- Dave Porter " |

Dear penthouse, I was on my way to work as a binman when a gorgeous blonde appeared from behind a bush in the nude. Imagine my surprise to find she had a large card across her face bearing the announcement "See more of Gorgeous blonde on pages 12,13,14,15 &16 & watch out for more gorgeous blondes in our next issue!" -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

Was this an ad for the Gorgeous Blond Simpsons Episode Next Sunday? And if it was only across her face, would anyone have noticed? :-) Loz |
