Who makes KitKats then?

Can you boot the KitKat Chunky ad, please?

I realise people eat KitKats, btw.

But MN Towers said they don't advertise Nestle, and yet they are.

you were close - red-tops mean skimmed and homogenized news ...

Mercy · 24/04/2007 15:17

Thanks Mrs Badger.

Me, posh . Don't be daft, I'm obviously thick though because I've never heard the expression before.

I was thinking along the lines of milk bottle tops and couldn't work it out!

MrsBadger · 24/04/2007 15:16

NB PLH you look very fetching in that gingham pinny.
Is it Cath Kidston or do you make your own clothes?

PrettyLittleHead · 24/04/2007 15:16

tabloids with red mastheads. the sun etc.

thanks ever so much for your advice, fiofio, i really wouldn't have thought to do that myself. i'm just a woman, you see, so i just accept whatever shite's doled out to me in return for ribbons and shiny buttons. thank god i'm so pretty. [wide-eyed sigh]

a tabloid whose name is often printed in red at the top of the front page eg Sun, Mirror.

Mercy · 24/04/2007 15:13

Well the truth is we ask because a) we don't want to upset or alienate folks b) though we are a business and hoping to be a profitable one, we also genuinely wish to be an "ethical" business and sometimes we are genuinely in two minds about advertisers. A good debate often clarifies both of these issues for us as it has in the past with formula milk.

Currently we don't allow ads for formula milk, Nestle, Macdonalds, plastic surgery types, political parties, porn sites and a few red-top newspapers. If you think there's any we should add to that list let us know who and why.

Best,
MNHQ
