I imagine one could just do a remake of the Snickers one, but with a large condom on the tank's gun, and Mr T could thrown them at the guy too.... sigh... it's been a long day, time to turn this thing off....

A Mr T condom advert anyone? Much more important than encouraging people not to fly would be to encourage them not to have more than one child! A Mr T condom advert anyone?

Unfortunately I think I'm just a few years older than Rob, so never really watched the A Team, Saturday nights were more about going out down the pub or to gigs when it was in its heyday...

Mr T is the actor who played BA - they had that whole suspension of disbelief thing going on. T stands for Tureaud, the actor's surname. Now, if only the Transition Network had a theme tune as cool and joyful as The A Team's, we'd really start seeing some energy descent.

Survivors on BBC last night was pretty Transitiony too - no oil for cars, no way to charge mobiles etc. Love the t-shirt, in fact I just swiped the photo for my Facebook profile!
