The actress from the video "You're The One For Me, Fatty" is in the latest carphone warehouse advert. The clip is a take off of "Blind Date", which is presented by Cilla Black!!! SPOOKY (or not) ----

Regarding the above related item, I received this email from the actress (Morag Siller) a few months ago:
Hello there!

My friend loves morrissey and had logged onto this website, only to discover everyone was having an argument about me!!

So she told me and I'm here to say that : a) My name is Morag Siller
and
b) I did that video back then because i thought it was a positive song about overweight people and there's so much prejudice surrounding the whole boring subject, i thought in an ironic way it was a good positive song. That's what morrissey believed too.

I didn't like the title of the song, but understood why it had it. Rather tongue and cheek i think!

Anyway- am amazed that you recognised me from the commercial as it is very short but glad at the same time.

    I thought "You're the One For Me, Fatty" was a great song, and interpereted a positive though tongue-in-cheek message. But the video, there's just no excuse for it. The shots of her eating all the damn time undermine the underlying respect I thought was in the song. Because of the video, I like the song less due to the doubt cast on it's intentions...

      well honesty it sounded negative to me, but I figured it was more of Morrissey's twisted humor as usual. Iam glad its really just more like a strange compliment.{whatever}
