to think the new ASDA advert is the biggest pile of sexist crap in a long time

[MaureenLove]

to think its trying to APPEAL to women? dur!

Not seen it. Do you have a link?

Was thinking of starting a thread as well. Just saw it - it's bloody awful for lots of different reasons.

Crap version of the John Lewis one, done for about a tenth of the price...

I thought the same...talk about insulting to men!

What was it? Something like "Behind every great Christmas is a great Mum"?

Some sort of claptrap like that

quick look on youtube

cant see it

It's stupid. I like the watching all the prep that goes into it. But no reason why the 'mum' has to do it

But I mainly hate it because I lost my mum v recently and the wording is just crappy for that.

OH MY GOD
read this
they have a rolling mumdex

it insults everyone who isnt a stereotypical family and ONCE AGAIN presents the classic nurturing mum at home is a good mum crap.

Dads dont feature because remember they " find it too hard" rolls eyes

its just like an advert from the 1950s

lol at busy mums cliche klaxon

That link ... WTF? It looks like the klu klux klan stood behind them

at fluffyraggies

Ha fluffyragged - it IS the klan sending a subliminal message - 'woman, pull your finger out your arse or we will set you on fire.'

This link should work:

YANBU, it's a pile of rubbish. Why is everything left up to the mum? they are all a lazy bunch of useless articles in that house.

And, is it really acceptable now to suggest that men are so useless they can do almost nothing?

and behing mum there should be a bloody divorce lawyer

God that is just vile! Martyrish nonsense and doesn't resemble anything about my life.
Bad enough she's hoovering with the baby and wrapping the presents in shit paper, but then the pathetic excuse for a husband asks 'what's for tea love?'. Nauseating. Should end with a 'leave the bastard' voice-over .

Load of shite but I am not the demographic as the thought of buying a turkey from asda makes me dry retch

and tbh even she is a bit crap

why cant she wrap a present?
freak

Maureen she might have wrapping isshoos, you are so insensitive

Simply awful. A big pile of misogynistic shite.

YANBU. Another reason not to go to Asda.

Appalling, misogynistic shite - I don't know who should be more offended me or my DP....

I saw that earlier. I actually quite liked it

runs and never shows face on MN again

I don't know, I found it quite humorous and I suppose it reminded me of everything I end up doing at Christmas (except the dinner which DH does).

I get the sexist point people are making but I like the advert.

I thought it was the LAW that a member of loose women had to feature in all asda and Iceland adverts? [runs off to phone ofcom]

If my husband had been that fucking useless in the run up to Christmas, and then come out with the line "What's for tea love"? just as I'd sat down, I'd punch him. Then divorce him. Then maybe punch him a bit more.

What a pile of sexist shite.
