It's like the 'Babe' video (a bit)

  • November 13, 2008

Evidence for our claim:

1. Mark Owen is in it.
2. It is in a house.
3. It is at Christmas.
4. THE END.

We wonder what the kid in the 'Babe' video is up to these days? He's probably about 16 now, still confused about whether Mark Owen is his dad or not. What should really happen, we suppose, is for the 'Babe' chap — let's called him Mark Jr for the sake of argument — to live in the same house as the baby from the 'Nevermind' sleeve. They'd have loads to talk about. It wouldn't neces­sar­ily have to be a house. A modest two bedroomed flat would be suf­fi­cient.

Look, they could even just live on the same street if sharing a place together was too much hassle.

Imagine meeting them both in a pub.

You: "Hello, my name is [WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS]."
Mark Jr: "I was the kid in the 'Babe' video!"
Nevermind chap: "I was on the 'Nevermind' sleeve!"
You: "OH MY GOD!"

Thinking about it, what would make the most sense would be for Mark Jr and Nevermind Chap to run a pub together — that way they'd be able to live upstairs (ful­filling our first request for some sort of cohab­it­a­tion) and they'd also be able to entertain people with their inter­est­ing anecdotes during pub opening hours. There could be some problems with the licensing laws, par­tic­u­larly if Mark Jr is still only 16, but that's something Mark Owen could probably help out with seeing as he's been off the bloody scene for over a decade and didn't even keep up the payments to Mark Jr's mum. It is, really, the least he could do.
