Anyone else seen this new Pot Noodles ad? I'm really sick of this kind of crass, sexist crap. I'm thinking of putting in a complaint to the ASA. Anybody with me?

Maybe toss not best word choice given context!

I have complained about a couple of sexist ads and they told me to piss off.

It's a bit of a toss-up what happens with these I think.

Have submitted a complaint via the ASA website. Interestingly they had an ad banned in 2013 for sexism.

Time for a boycott I think.

Yes I saw this on the TV the other day.

I had a vague half an eye on it and then said to DH - FFS so the ad is basically about how this towel-man gets loads of women to sit on his face. And the ad features one ugly man and loads of really attractive women in string bikinis wiggling their arses.

Fucking trashy load of sexist objectifying nonsense.

I find it depressing that this constant sexual objectification & dehumanisation of women is considered A-OK.
