Paint advert

So, they’re all dressed in shades of a colour ( this was yellow) . It’s in song, they meet, partner up, get pregnant and then there’s a line that says ‘Dave’s just hoping it’s his’.
wtf? In what way is that acceptable? It’s not funny, nor clever. Grrr!!

Aww I do love that advert but couldn’t make out any of the lyrics, that is quite bad but I imagine they were going for humour value.

If you’re that upset definitely report it to advertising standards, I did that for a McCain advert back in the day 😂 hahaaa cringe when I look back but at the time these things are so infuriating.

Yes, I've heard the song, and thought it was quite catchy (and just a joke). Lots of people are cross about it though:

Saw the ad last night. Yes it’s a weird line to include isn’t it? Implying she’s sleeping around. Very inappropriate
