From thoughtful storyteller to bloviating sellout

“Oh, Malcolm. You’ve let me down, sir. I started listening to Revisionist History because I’d so enjoyed your excellent storytelling and wanted more. And at first, I got it. Your musings on the classist stupidity of golf, for example, really hit a nerve. So when the last season or so started sounding like the ramblings of an arrogant professor secure enough in his tenure not to care that his captive audience had ceased to be captivated, I persisted. After all, who hasn’t had a dry spell? But when you decided to make an entire episode an ad for Procter and Gamble, you lost me. I’m as keen on clean as any normal adult, but the toxins P&G put in their laundry products are a real sore spot in our household. The increasingly invasive scents they put into their laundry products make people with multiple chemical sensitivities sick. In trying to sell the stupid idea that sheets should smell freshly laundered six months after they go on the bed, they’ve created a chemical monster. So of course, we don’t use those products. But when even one person in our neighbourhood uses those products you so shamelessly shilled, the vents from their dryers leave a scent so strong we can sometimes taste it. And that leaves my already disabled spouse dizzy, with a punishing migraine. So, Malcolm, let P&G do their own advertising, they can afford it. They don’t need your rhapsodic ramblings. And I don’t need Revisionist History. Good riddance, sir.”
