Has anyone seen it? (You'll know if you have!)

As a professional marketeer, I can only assume that their marketing team are on meth.

I dont even have the fucking words...

(Apologies if there's already a thread)

It's awful! I tried to explain it to DH who agreed it sounded bad, he was still surprised when it came on as apparently I hadn't explained it to tell him quite HOW bad it was.

Im just waiting on the Scottish parody with someone saying "get it up ya" because they're not far off that as it is. Grin

Yes it's truly awful. I keep randomly remembering it in half disbelief. The two slogan/ tag lines- grim. Wonder who the target audience are? I have only seen it once, several days ago.

So glad someone mentioned this!

I've seen it late at night & wondered was it just me going 'wtf' 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

MarieQueenofScots · 14/04/2020 20:37

I can’t imagine what the brief was, that this is what they came up with.

Dreadful.

BeetrootRocks · 14/04/2020 20:39

Hmm

Well it's good advice but I'm not sure about the delivery!

Christ. Its like the the advertising equivalent of mansplaining - it's not our mediocre product, it's your fault!

Hippopotas · 14/04/2020 20:47

I thought I’d hallucinated it but this thread proves not

DramaAlpaca · 14/04/2020 20:48

I was watching TV with DH when this ad came on. We just looked at each other and went WTF?

Veterinari · 14/04/2020 20:49

Well thank goodness they explained that!
Not Confused

I'm all for the de-stigmatisation of periods, but do we really need this?
Next, it will be a live demo of how to wipe your arse properly.....

Pearl compak are awful to use anyway, tried them once and i hated them. The normal pearl are the best, then the normal compak. But compak pearl, useless.

Newyearnewarse · 14/04/2020 20:56

What the actual Fuck ?

Newyearnewarse · 14/04/2020 20:57

That is like an advert a 6th former would do thinking they were being edgy in media studies !!

Pixilicious · 14/04/2020 20:57

Ontheboardwalk · 14/04/2020 20:58

Is this actually real? WTF

TFthatsover · 14/04/2020 21:02

Christ on a bike, is that actually real?! Confused

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 14/04/2020 21:02

Erm that is so grim. And that is why I use a Mooncup so I am not responsible for funding shite like that on tv.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 14/04/2020 21:02

Jesus Christmas that's bad.
