Just saw it...it's now 12.30am so doubt anyone's about now....but will bump tomorrow.

Basically it has a man and a woman in bed, she's reading and he is kissing her arm....in a suggestive manner.

She then says "Oh not tonight I've got a..." and he iterrupts with a pushy little wave of his box of headache tablets!

At which she looks resigned.

Shock

Who do I complain to? What utter claptrap!

I won't have my DDs seeing this kind of shit...and thinking it's acceptable to bully or pressure women into sex.

Can anyone advise/join me in complaining?

You could complain to the ASA on the grounds that the ad is offensive.

It's a fine ad!! Take a pill and think of Britain... The fact that we are the most depressed nation and are on the most anti-depressants should get a mention..go on, take a pill and all is fine, in relationship and all...Wink Grin

how did he know she wasn't going to say "i've got an aversion to having sex with you ever since that time i saw you wanking over airbrushed pictures of what looked like pre-pubescent girls with breast implants"?

sorry, dont know how or who to complain to but i agree.
