The new CSL (?) advert

[jonicomelately]

AIBU to think it's the biggest load of sexist bollox ever?

Think you're going to have to give a bit more info for MN to sit in judgement.

Who's CSL?

Have you got a link to their advert?

Can't do the link.

CSL are one of those sofa companies. I think it's CSL. Could be DFS actually. I was too pissed off to notice.

Basic premise is Katie Price lookalikey sings Girls On Film while a couple of models dance around a sofa in their underwear.

I kid you not.

I pointed this ad out to DH last night- I find sofa adverts so irritating anyway, but this one wound me up.

Because of course women love prancing around their new ugly sofa in their underwear with a couple of scantily clad friends.

YANBU.

I do it all the time Phish. Don't you

Only after a few bottles glasses too many!

There's no accounting for what people get up to in their own homes

I mean it sounds terrible, I'm outraged

In a few years they'll be having sex on it while the husband leers on from the corner

YANBU

their ads are always shit and weird (the robots singing about being "autoerotic", the terrible divorce plotline with awful James Blunt song etc) but this one proper pisses me off.

The furniture is seriously vile (who? who? has these eyesores in their home? who?) so I don't really need to say I wouldn't shop there on principle, but I wouldn't, not even if they started selling magazines and stamps (trying to think of something I like buying).

YANBU.

They must have skipped straight off the X Factor set onto the CSL set.

yanbu

my cousin was in a dfs advert

I've made a complaint about this advert, I've never bothered complaining about any ad before but the pornographic content of this one is just so unnecessary and crass. What's with all the shit adverts from this company?

YANBU, I hate this kind of thing. Not seen it though thank god, I tend to avoid TV.

Never heard of CSL, and the girl at the end doing the rock stomping bit just looks stupid.

oh yes, I saw this.

I don't know why they don't just get a chap to bend one of those girls over the sofa and give her a solid shafting.

I saw it and went off on one at Himself. Who was equally appauled as it happens. What have girls in brothel attire got to do with sofas?

I swear advertisers have one track minds. I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again and again and again, I promise ) this is a sex mad society. Everything is about sex. We are being reduced to rutting beasts.

I predict ad campaigns along the lines of a woman pleasuring herself with a tin can and the tag line "Heinz - totally satisfying"

pornification of society.

And always women in the state of undress, available for your titillation.

Naturally.

i don't get it.

they're just dancing around sofas.

i didn't see them writhing around scantily clad.

i might have to watch it again.

btw - the video Duran Duran made to accompany that song was pornographic.

okay, i missed the underwear bit when i watched it last time.

still don't think it's that bad.

sorry, I meant, I agree with Hec

dancing around sofas in sexy underwear. bending over at the camera, sexily stroking the leather, thigh high hooker boots, spread legs - seeing the sofa through them, laying on the sofa with a 'come get me' look...

for a sofa ad?

hahaha

yeah you do.

or else.

I used to really hate those old sofa ads, where a loud news anchor type would walk through the showroom, blaring on about their favourite offers.
Come back low budget sofa sale ads, all is forgiven.

i agree, its awful.

and their sofas are shit anyway :o

I hate the ad too, but mainly because it doesn't make sense with regards to selling sofas. And if it is a homage to Duran Duran, it's pants on that level too.

I'm surprised DD allowed them to use it (assuming they have publishing rights)

It's absolute shite. Totally drives me mad when it comes on tv. I think it's disgusting that the real barbies gash and butt cheeks are hanging out.....seriously during the day too. All this for a crappy sofa.

If I want to watch porn...I get my proper collection out thank you very much LOL
