to think the Twinings advert is sexist crap?

[Em2121]

Oh look at me! I'm a woman, and therefore am such a martyr to my out-of-control emotions that I am being tossed around on a metaphorical stormy sea! Rescue me with tea! And pastel colours!

LA LA LA LOVE SOOOOOOOONG...........

YANBU. All adverts featuring women are intrinsically sexist and awful and should be banned.

[fluffyraggies]

YANBU

As soon as i feel 'targeted' i'm immediately put off.

When will ad execs get this?

[WorraLiberty]

You can't post links properly OP but if you think we're going to rescue you with tea, you can think again.

Nice try!

[LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726]

I think the advert's just crap; beyond that I can't see anything else.

Now, have you tried Tesco's 'chocolate tea'? That's surprisingly nice.

[FrancesFarmer]

The music is annoying.

I hate the way the woman is so clueless that she lets the oars slip away - it would have been a better ad if they'd shown her rowing through the storm with all her might and having a cup of tea after getting through it.

[samandi]

Hmm, I quite like it. And I often dislike adverts for being sexist.

[VirginiaDare]

FFS, really? Its not even an actual woman, its an animation.

Its a perfectly nice advert. Very well drawn.

[mutny]

all adverts should just be a picture of the product and a line at the bottom saying 'i am available to buy'

Except that would probably offend someone.

[joanbyers]

mmm, lesbian tea.

[monica77798]

YABU, it is just an advert about the calming effects of tea. I don't see why some people feel the need to read sexism into everything they see.

[FlipFlippingFlippers]

YABU

Also Tesco chocolate tea is amazing.

[Slumberparty]

Loved that Kim! Very funny!

[Alliwantisaroomsomewhere]

Love the Mitchell and Webb link. Thanks! I had not seen it before.

[butterflybuns]

Better than the Typhoo advert with floppy blond Ben being an incompetent idiot. " Don't know how she does it!" he says. Silly man can't possibly l Twatish advert

[butterflybuns]

Oops- fat fingers. He's a smug twat in a twatish advert who can't look after a small child and put on a load of washing and making a meal out of it.

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

at the mitchell and Webb sketch... love it arf

[carocaro]

But a cup of tea (esp. Twinnings Everyday) does do bloody wonders, even if not in a rowing boat.

[WineGoggles]

I actually think it's a beautiful animation. Wish she'd not dropped the oars though (the dizzy bint), but apart from that I love it.

[EldritchCleavage]

I used to hate it too, until DH replaced the tag line with 'Bump into Yourself'. Now it makes me laugh.

[HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

I love that song!

And carocaro is right a cup of tea does do wonders.
