Lifting of UK Product Placement Ban Means EastEnders Characters Can Talk About Their Favorite Brand of Crisps and Biscuits

How come England can make good TV but they can’t make TV look good? The BBC looks like macaroni art. What are they taping on? Duct tape?

Product placement is currently banned in England, but that’s soon coming to an end. Producers of commercial television will be able to have their characters say “I love Twizzlers” without getting fined by their “media minister,” an Orwellian-sounding post in their government designed to protect the quality of British television. Could you ask for any greater proof that less government is good government? The only bureaucrats we have to contend with in this country telling us what we can and can’t do on television are those useless thought-Nazis in the FCC, and they’re only there to make sure you don’t go around saying “FUCK THE FCC,” not to prohibit the cops on Southland from eating at Pinkberry. Guess whose TV dominates globally? Hint: not England.
