Baseless logic

There was a rather compelling FA Cup replay on the BBC last night. The ever exciting Middelsboro' Red and White Sox were playing Sheffield United.

At the Riverside they have those new-fangled electronic advertising hoardings. The Army (and more specifically, the Yorkshire Regiment) were attempting to recruit via advertising. The text displayed itself sentence by sentence on the hoardings it was on. It read:

Like Football?

You'll Love The Army

Join the Yorkshire Regiment

This would seem to be baseless, scurrilous and shameless. Credit to them if it works, but I'm concerned the Army may have lost their logic.

On another note, good to see Northern Rock using taxpayers' money to have ad's on the self-same hoardings. The Army and one of the Government's banks paying money for advertising shown on the State television corporation; frankly, mind-blowing.
