To be unsettled with current day time tv adverts

I am miffed by the ads on tv these days, they are not allowed to put a ad on about chocolate or crumpets as the children need to be protected but they can put filth like this on during the day so my young children can watch it.

Is it just me?

Actually yes.

I would think.the only people that would appeal to is school children with toilet humour.

It's gross.

YABU, it’s better to normalise bodily functions.

Were you also offended by this one?

I don't understand the rationale of adverts like these.

The effect on me is totally to put me off the product and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same.

So who are these adverts actually aimed at.? And are there enough people with so little taste that are going to buy the product as a result of watching these gross adverts to compensate for the number of customers they lose because of them.

It’s as if some perv with a fetish has been given the job

Has anyone seen Idiocracy? It's not remotely funny, although it was supposed to be. The trajectory is very clear.

Oh and generally the fact women appear to pee themselves on a regular basis! The adverts are just awful.

Plus young children can learn from a young age what's the best funeral plan on the market.

Standards have sunk so low, it is disgraceful.
