to think this ad is insulting to both men and women?

[Bogeyface]

Radio ad....didnt catch what it was about but..

blah blah....James loves Xmas, he gets totally over excited, can't sleep...

Oh bless....they do get like that dont they? Its like that at ours! He has to have everything just so! How old is your James now?

....48!

Cue much hilarity.

FFS! If I was a man I would be utterly sick of these kind of ads and as a woman I am sick of being portrayed as a patronising infantilising piss taker!

I turn the radio off now when it starts!

AIBU to think that advertisers really should have moved past this "all men are idiotic children/all women are bossy mother hens" sexist crap?

And dont get me started on "oh bless", it gives me the red rage!

YANBU

YANBU.

My husband can't sleep on Xmas Eve. Just saying.

Right
If I was sexist like the ad I would suggest you put some brandy in his milk. But I am not. :o

Oh, bless!

YANBU, but worse was the boots/superdrug-some pharmacy one- with the two obviously not ill women going on about 'poor him and being martyrs! To be fair my mum is a martyr as is my dad ut in my family DP is the one less sick, my immune system combined with too many easy ways to get germs aka the public makes me the 'man fluey' one.

I'm also the one too excited to sleep, he wouldn't notice a bloody apocalypse!

oh Bless- now just you freshen up your make-up and put a ribbon in your hair Bogey

And don't you go whittering on about your day either, he'll be tired and wants some quiet.

FUCK OFF

Sorry. Got the rage.

Mia I hate the Boots/whatever one too. I am the man fluey one too in our house. H is almost never ill, and on the odd occasion he is, he is really genuinely poorly, its like he gets ten years worth in one go!

I cannot stand that sodding flu advert. It's the fake bunged-up thing that pisses me off the most.

Ooooooooooooooooooh Bogeyface you didn't just tell me to FUCK OFF Go Forth and Multiply did you?

DailyMail face

No, I didnt tell you go Go forth and multiply.

I did in fact tell you to Fuck Off.

But I have calmed down now, so I apologise for reacting so badly to your , frankly not FUNNY AND DOWNRIGHT FUCKING IRRITATING FUCKING "JOKE

Breathe

Sorry.

Breathe....

:o

Calm down dear, it's only a commercial!

Oh well thanks for that - not.

I'll be on my fecking way then,
