Some Melodious Plot @somemelodiousplot.bsky.social

Leaving work last night, I found myself waiting for the bus next to this ad, and it left me feeling quite sad. I do think the current generation of youngsters are much kinder than previous ones, and the ad struck me as misjudged and cruel. It would have put me right off Freshers Week. Oversensitive?

An ad at a bus stop for a company that refurbishes phones.

Absolutely. Not something that my boy would entertain either.

I've put it to my university colleagues and we are all aghast.
