I am probably becoming some sort of dried up harridan but I have just seen an advert that made me want to rip out my own eyeballs

WTF is going on with advertising lately? Is it 1971 or 2011?

I have just seen an advert for, I believe Tena Lady, although the product was frankly irrelevant and it could easily have been for a diet/chocolate bar/bodywash. Woman in corridor at work (I think) struggling for reasons which were indeterminable with the hemline of her dress which kept riding up above her pants. I think the hem was stuck in a lift door. Not sure really. Naturally an attractive man was on hand to witness her embarrassment, and the revealing of the pants (and acres of toned thigh).

There are so many effing adverts like this at the moment and I am sick of it, frankly.

That's all. As you were.

Hahahahahaha thanks BoF, I'd missed that one :)

Mumcentre - do you mean the emailing Dad one?

Ahhh but the Lidl tea advert "I don't like tea...I like gin" gives me merriment :)

Not quite the same thing, but can anyone explain why, in the recent athletics championship I was watching on TV, all the women runners were essentially running in underwear, while the men were wearing knee-length lycra and tops which actually met their shorts in the middle? And why the camera angles for the women pre-races were all shot at groin level, while the men were shot from the chest up?

oo - love the ripped black due with the sexy voice! Who also smells like a man! Yum!

Ah yes Shakey - somewhat sadly my DParents both said "It's Ennui!!" at the same time when that advert first came on

I love that one shakey

Yeah Ennu..gets on my nerves..like get a life you just want to be on an ad...how much have you been paid..

Oh and I also like the "I like gin" one!

I can't STANT the Kenco Millicano ad.

I like that one, realhousewife... she doesn't like tea, she's likes Gin!

Is the Kenco one the one with the .... ....

...... vintage bicycle

?

I can't stand the Oasis one either...

I nearly snorted wine when my DD2 said 'ooh mummy he ate some of her and she drank some of him!'

Worst advert ever: Dove deodorant - enriched with fucking "beauty mineral"

Makes me want to smash the TV every time.

and washing powder/cleaning prudct annoys me congratulating men for doing a women job

love the cravendale advert where the cats have thumbs :o though cats are always portrayed as sneaky and spiteful and more feminine than masculine i can overlook that as they are smart

Most adverts for wimmins stuff makes me want to vomit a little but that one with jingle bell bracelets is a special kind of fucking stupid.
