  • Meanwhile, on the American side of the border, some brands are proudly advertising their US roots.

    Ford last month ran a campaign with the tagline “From America. For America.”

    Maybe people could “guerrilla advertise”: for those US brands kowtowing to MAGA in the US, copy & paste their US advertising over their adverts elsewhere in the world (hoardings, bus shelters, public transport etc), driving home to people where these brands are really from.

    E.g. Cover up their overseas “disguise” adverts

    • “We’re so local and lovely!”

    with their US MAGA adverts

    • “America - FUCK YEAH!” (in Ford’s case “From America. For America.”)

    I mean, obviously, with permission of the owners/operators of said advertising locations, I wouldn’t be suggesting vandalism…

    • Holly: They’re from Earth.
    • Lister: That’s 3 million years away.
    • Holly: They’re from the Norweb Federation.
    • Lister: What’s that?
    • Holly: The North Western Electricity Board. They want you, Dave.
    • Lister: Me? Why? What for?
    • Holly: For your crimes against humanity.
    • Lister: You what?
    • Holly: It seems when you left Earth, 3 million years ago, you left two half-eaten German sausages on a plate in your kitchen. Do you know what happens to sausages left unattended for 3 million years?
    • Lister: Yeah, they go mouldy.
    • Holly: Your sausages, Dave, now cover seven-eights of the Earth’s surface. Also, you left £17.50 in your bank account. Thanks to compound interest, you now own 98% of all the world’s wealth. And because you’ve hoarded it for 3 million years, nobody’s got any money except for you and Norweb.
    • Lister: Why Norweb?
    • Holly: You left a light on in the bathroom. I’ve got a final demand here for £180 billion.
