Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I mishearing the advert?
"my very sharp, very well maintained secateurs which I will not hasten to use if I ever run into that chubby opera singer..."
As a "threatening violence" joke that simply doesn't make sense

How does this stuff get through all the people who presumably must read/listen and approve it before it goes live?
