Over the past year or so, you haven’t been able to get away from Tesco and its phonemonal growth. May websites have sprouted damning Tesco with many believing they’re out for world domination. While these fears may hold some ground, I find it funny that no one seems to say this of Virgin.

Oh Virgin, oh so innocent Virgin. World domination is just as much on their agenda as Tesco, in my opinion. The Virgin empire is enormous. From trains to planes, there isn’t much Virgin don’t have a finger in. The recent introduction of “Virgin Media” certainly places them in a great position for warping our fragile Tesco-hating minds. Further more, they’ve started a business allowing mothers to store their children’s stem cells. Come on, if Tesco started a stem cell bank there would be a bit more fuss. But no, this is Virgin so it’s ay-okay. I think the problem is everyone sees Virgin as a bit loveable. Good ol’ Branson beams away at the launches of all their latest ventures and you can’t help but think “Awww what a nice chap!” – could you put a face to Tesco? No, you just think “baaaad baaaad oh but very cheap.” I don’t know, I just think we should all keep our eye on Virgin, who knows where they’ll go next? They’re already going to space…

Oh but Uma Thurman is on their new adverts so I’m kind of torn. Anything that gets Uma on my television is always positive.
