A very strange advert for some sort of hair mousse to kill nits came on the telly last night. It's very straight forward, and there's nothing ironic about head lice, so why is the voice over by Victoria Wood! why would she want to be associated with such a product? The pay can't be that good can it?

It's a bit of an obscure product to even have an advert. I'm sure there can't be that much competition in the nit-mousse industry and folks will only buy it if they actually need it. Although Victoria Wood's voice and general personage is so depressing, I would rather walk around with a nit circus festering in my bonce than buy her endorsements.
Oh no! My head's all itchy now!!!

Perhaps Victoria Wood could write a play about a nit nurse, which would be played by Julie Walters. That could be funny.

Victoria Wood has made many jokes about nits.
Eg
No one ever thinks about these things before they have children, do they? I mean, no one has ever looked up from a Mothercare catalogue all misty-eyed and saif 'ooh, one day we'll have headlice."
And
"My children don't do nuthing like that at their school. They just sit around all day cutting up old Brillo pad boxes with zigzag scissors. Then every now and again they'll come back with something they did at school - like catch nits."

But as soon as they do arrive, you go nit-mad. You're standing behind people in the post office with a comb, inspecting their heads.
Or you can use the nit shampoo to kill off the eggs they lay - which if you're sensitive can make you feel like a mobile abortion clinic.
Etc.

Then you get paranoid. You worry that soon there'll be no more room on your head and they'll jump off and walk about your front room criticising . . .
'I don't like those curtains'
'No, I don't like them either.'"
Oh, how hard I laughed at that one.

Nits are gross. The thing with the shampoo though, is that it's got so many chemicals in it, it really can't be good for you. Get rid of nits, but catch cancer!
