Having established that she was on her own, the daughter > made her way down to the kitchen where she opened the fridge and removed a > large tin of pate - at this stage the live TV audience is wondering what > the hell is going on. She then went back upstairs to her bedroom where she > proceeded to quickly remove all her clothes and spread the pate all over > her naughty bits (at this stage Ricky Martin is still hidden inside the > wardrobe, and half of Spain is seeing a nubile young girl, stark naked on > the bed with pate all over her crotch). > > As if the parents were not shocked enough by this, the daughter then calls > the family dog, who obediently trots up the stairs to settle down to his > favorite meal. The broadcast is abruptly cut. A set of acutely > embarrassed parents are left in front of a deadly quiet studio audience, > while a few million Spaniards sit in front of their TVs pissing themselves > with laughter. Consequently, sales of tinned pate have rocketed. >
