USING THE OLD NOODLE

The Advertising Standards Authority of Great Britain has ruled that a commercial for a "Cup-a-Soup" type of product called "Pot Noodle" is not "racist" for its depiction of Welsh miners. But for Toobworld, it does create a new reality as to where the noodles come from.

The blipvert shows the miners removing noodles from a noodle mine, providing - as the tagline puts it - "fuel for Britain, isn't it?"

So since it was broadcast, that's the way it is. Noodles are not made, they're mined from the depths of the earth.

Ugh. Personally, it would turn me off from eating them. How do we know they're noodles and not worms?
