OP A small group of english farmers, led by a celebrity chef, has made headlines around the world staging a picturesque protest against the term "couch potato", a term they claim slanders the reputation of the ordinary spud.
It took a celebrity chef to figure out that if Paris Hilton can make a splash with suds, he can do the same thing with spuds.
Paris Hilton doesn't look anything like a spud, but she doesn't need an IQ higher than the average spud to cause a world-wide sensation.
I predict "celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson" is about to become the next Wolfgang Puck.
Farming bid to get 'couch potatoes' scrapped
ITV.com, Mon Jun 20 2005
Extract:
"Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson, who is backing the campaign, said: "Not only are they healthy, they are versatile, convenient and taste great too. Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling."
