Finally
The uncontrollable spiral into becoming Little America has begun. Our buddy-buddy relationship with the US has taken something special from us.

I mean, what the fuck is up with Mr Muscle?

Could be worse.
Would you rather be becoming Little Pakistan?

EDIT: I keep forgetting the cultural differences. Sorry if that sounded racist. I was referring to the fact that Sharia law seems to be taking root over there.

No offence intended
Mr Loon. Just an observation that a brand-driven scrawny-geek-comes-good is now a muscly, American-voiced superhero.

And with more than a million Pakistanis in the country already, many places already are Little Pakistan. I've got nothing against that, and not just cos I work with thirty of them :)

He reminded me of me
before my unhealthy compulsion for cider, crisps and cheese.

He's better than that shouty man, Barry.
There's just no need to shout. I have sound control on my remote if I can't hear him.

i was unaware of the change
however, i am old enough to know that the first few mr muscles were the winners of the annual 'mr puniverse' from bbc's late late breakfast show - hosted by noel edmonds.
for that reason i have always really, really, hated mr muscle and have never purchased any of their products.

a little OT this but
an equally amusing consequence of a cleaning products' branding is that all musclebound bald men are clandestinely referred to as 'Mr Proper'.

In about
1990 the actor that then played Mr Muscle was having an affair with the actor that was in The Honey Monster suit.

Really.
