Why are all these women sitting on the floor in their pants?’

I just received some wool carpet samples, lovely high quality stuff, but accompanied by this leaflet....is it just me or is this no better than having bikini babes sprawled on the bonnet of a new car? I’m mystified- surely women are the main decision-makers when it comes to carpet-buying. What on earth would make this company think that a half-naked blonde would seal the deal with me? Am I supposed to want to be her?

Yes very odd. Where are the men in their pants?!

DaedricLordSlayer · 14/12/2018 14:35

I get the impression they are not in pants. Urghh

Because when the thieves broke into their homes and nicked all their furniture they took all their trousers too Sad

Poor 'Natural', looks like she had to knit her own carpet.

JessieMcJessie · 14/12/2018 14:39

Perhaps the one holding the wool is about to knit some emergency trousers for the others?

Is that not how you sit whilst relaxing at home? HmmWink

Obviously the carpet is so luxurious you simply wouldn't be able to resist getting your bare skin on it.

GrannyJillS · 14/12/2018 14:41

That's really ridiculous

Iknowthatguy · 14/12/2018 14:42

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliantly bad advertising

‘Hmmmm I love the feel of carpet on my undercarriage. So comfy.’

Hmm
JessieMcJessie · 14/12/2018 14:44

Actually the person who suggested that they may not even be wearing pants....the back of the leaflet does say that wool allegedly cleans the air. Perhaps they are using it to absorb their evil farts?

Wtf Confused

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/12/2018 14:47

Gosh, I have such a lovely carpet I can't resist rubbing my fanny on it Confused

They're making the point that carpet burns from synthetic carpet are much worse than from a pure wool carpet.
So if you're going to shag on the shagpile, make sure it's not 90% nylon

nornironrock · 14/12/2018 14:48

Women are the main decision makers for carpet buying? Er, no chance.

I think it's a misjudged attempt to make us infer that the carpet would be lovely and soft on our buttocks...

LadyPasserine · 14/12/2018 14:49

Well, the one at the top left has definitely left some amazing skid marks.

Hoppinggreen · 14/12/2018 14:50

Are they hoping to join Little Mix?

Threewheeler1 · 14/12/2018 14:52

What's that thing that dogs do when they drag their bums across the floor, scratching their anal glands?
It's got a name but I can't remember it Grin

PigletJohn · 14/12/2018 14:53

Where are the men in their pants?!

holding the camera, obv.

Fippy · 14/12/2018 14:54

"I love my carpet so much. In fact I love it in a very special way..."

Twickerhun · 14/12/2018 14:55

The slogan is where inspiration begins. I think the marketing manager is a frustrated man

Anonymumtum · 14/12/2018 14:56

I actually have the first carpet on there. It’s very nice but I have never sat on it without pants or indeed solely in pants.

ViragoKnows · 14/12/2018 14:57

That’s even better than Women Laughing at Salads 😏

Lambethmum · 14/12/2018 14:57

I think they come with the carpet?

Isthechangetoobig · 14/12/2018 14:58

Perhaps it's to show how soft and comfortable they are. I.e. it won't be harsh on your skin.

Although I do agree it is quite odd.
