Well Worth It?

Are we the only ones disturbed – and frankly rather depressed – to see the once mighty Jackie Chan fronting the new Woolworths’ ads? Sure the talent has been massively diluted over recent years in Hollywood knockabout blah-blah like ‘Rush Hour’ and ‘The Tuxedo’, but how badly can the guy need the money/exposure to stoop to starring alongside ropey sub-Henson puppets “Wooly” and “Worth” (Oh yes, that is their names!)? More pressingly just how many pairs of two-quid kid’s jeans do Woolies need to shift to pay his fee?

We say: Bring on a digitally resurrected Bruce Lee waxing lyrical about Netto or Chuck Norris uzi-blasting his way through Robert Dyas on his way to picking up a cut-price twin-cylinder gas BBQ.
