oh, I dunno

I reckon Harvey Ficks making an ad like this, and it getting passed by the ASA will mean that the likes of M+S will start making this sexist shite too

that's one of the reasons I hate this subliminal misogyny

people don't realise their perceptions are being subtly altered by absorbing this crap...this thread being case in point

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 12/12/2011 17:21

It's shit and yes they all look scared/ill/cold/upset rather than just drunk/hungover. As if something has gone really wrong for them, not just a night out. Creepy as fuck.

Of course HN-woman looks happier - she's HOME. They'd all look happy if they were at their own front door safe and sound rather than roaming the streets.

Target audience for this = people who want to laugh at "fat chavvy slags" i.e. woman-haters.

Excellent summary Elephants

Harvey Nichols wants your #walkofshame stories on twitter.

Nice of them to provide the hashtag for complaints about this sexist ad

Shame on them for basically branding women as "sluts".

ohanotherone · 12/12/2011 17:55

Well, this is why I never expose my legs and tits....after being attacked when I was 18 (but luckily escaped after kicking attacker) because clearly people do harshly judge women on what they wear.

Did someone say hashtag? I could do some serious corruption with the hashtag #walkofshame

I will just tweet pics of Nick Clegg with #walkofshame tag.

What about some picture of some footballer who has just shagged a prostitute. That's a walk of shame

Get0rf · 12/12/2011 18:33

Oh excellent.

Go and fuck up the whole hashtag, well done.

Trills · 12/12/2011 18:38

Corruptable hastags, I like it

ChristinedePizanne · 12/12/2011 18:38

Ooh yes I can think of several men-focused walks of shame

zookeeper · 12/12/2011 18:39

I love it. I've been there Smile

sickoftheemails · 12/12/2011 18:44

I know.....thats my point. I agree the ad is dreadful.

SpringHeeledJack · 12/12/2011 18:52

oooh, nasty

I remember ending up somewhere I didn't expect to end up of a night a few times, and going down the Orient and the Millwall the next day in my party frock and heels and a borrowed coat

show THAT, Harvey Nicks

shame wasn't in it. It was a larff.In fact if they hadn't used the word shame, and didn't have peeps looking askance at the women on this ad, it wouldn't be half as offensive

MyChildDoesntNeedSleepAtXmas · 12/12/2011 18:57

Apparently men call it the 'Stride of Pride'

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 12/12/2011 19:00

yep, and right ^there is the double standard it seems many of us really don't seem that bovved about

gawd knows why

KateFrothers · 12/12/2011 19:02

Sorry did I did lol at your auto correct SGM. Slappers is not even in your vocabulary.

Quite right too.
