to think this is the worst TV ad EVER?

I thought M&S had the WTF? Award for Advertising sewn up with their recent "utterly repellent menswear" TV ad campaign (hawking waterproof guys' suits). Repellent, indeed.

However, I think I have just seen an ad that tops it. It was for a bikini-area razor (Gilette, I think) and it featured ladies parading around in swimsuits, each passing by shrubbery that miraculously turned into topiary. (Get it? Trim your bush. Har har har.) What f*ing sixteen-year-old boy came up with this stupid and fairly degrading campaign?! What company exec actually thought, YES this will make women buy our product! ARGHHHHHH!

90% of advertisements are insulting to someone and what idiot buys lady razors anyway? they have shit handles that are not as easy to use as the male versions, and they paint the blades pink and slap a few extra quid on the price, I'll stick to my Mach 3 thank you.

Well somebody who is buying a bikini line razor is obviously going for a bit of 'bush trimming' anyway so yabu. Lighten up!

No! The worse was here (Australia).

For sanitary towels. A woman has a beaver as a pet. It follows her around. The tag line is something like 'look after your beaver'

I'll try & find a link.

Well I can honestly say, the the best razors I have used in all my 30 years of shaving are the ones I recently discovered. Wilkinsons Intuition, with the gel attached to them. No shaving rash, no nicks or tugs....

I don't like Wilkinson sword, I find the blades to be more irritating then Gilette, I think they are not as sharp and closer to each other.
