to think the Twinings advert is sexist crap?

[Em2121]

Oh look at me! I'm a woman, and therefore am such a martyr to my out-of-control emotions that I am being tossed around on a metaphorical stormy sea! Rescue me with tea! And pastel colours!

LA LA LA LOVE SOOOOOOOONG...........

YANBU. All adverts featuring women are intrinsically sexist and awful and should be banned.

YANBU

As soon as i feel 'targeted' i'm immediately put off.

When will ad execs get this?

You can't post links properly OP but if you think we're going to rescue you with tea, you can think again.

Nice try!

I think the advert's just crap; beyond that I can't see anything else.

Now, have you tried Tesco's 'chocolate tea'? That's surprisingly nice.

The music is annoying.

I hate the way the woman is so clueless that she lets the oars slip away - it would have been a better ad if they'd shown her rowing through the storm with all her might and having a cup of tea after getting through it.

Hmm, I quite like it. And I often dislike adverts for being sexist.

FFS, really? Its not even an actual woman, its an animation.

Its a perfectly nice advert. Very well drawn.

all adverts should just be a picture of the product and a line at the bottom saying 'i am available to buy'

Except that would probably offend someone.

mmm, lesbian tea.

YABU, it is just an advert about the calming effects of tea. I don't see why some people feel the need to read sexism into everything they see.

Also Tesco chocolate tea is amazing.

Loved that Kim! Very funny!

Love the Mitchell and Webb link. Thanks! I had not seen it before.

Better than the Typhoo advert with floppy blond Ben being an incompetent idiot. " Don't know how she does it!" he says. Silly man can't possibly l Twatish advert

Oops- fat fingers. He's a smug twat in a twatish advert who can't look after a small child and put on a load of washing and making a meal out of it.

at the mitchell and Webb sketch... love it arf

But a cup of tea (esp. Twinnings Everyday) does do bloody wonders, even if not in a rowing boat.

I actually think it's a beautiful animation. Wish she'd not dropped the oars though (the dizzy bint), but apart from that I love it.

I used to hate it too, until DH replaced the tag line with 'Bump into Yourself'. Now it makes me laugh.

I love that song!

And carocaro is right a cup of tea does do wonders.
