To think that the Activia Gok Wan ad is the worst advert ever?

As well as being demeaning and making women appear like simpering, gibbering, laughing idiots.
And how come men are never seen eating yoghurt?
Is yoghurt a woman thing?

It makes my blood boil every time I see this shit.

Oh no BigOld that has just made me break out in a cold sweat with embarrassment, and I'm on my own!

ElizabethHoover · 06/04/2015 15:59

lol at ' the official food of women'

So if I eat a yoghurt with chocolate sprinkles whilst washing my hair will I die of orgasming and shit myself ? ( after spending an hour laughing at my salad)

Ditto on the Cortana/Clean Bandit ad. I'd never tire of slapping the smug cunts.

Is this what 'pop stars' have come to? I blame Lydon.

"You made me laugh cortana"

Really, I mean seriously?!

passmethewineplease · 06/04/2015 17:01

What's that really long word used on yoghurt ads? I'm pretty sure it's made up whatever it is.

Bifidus regularis digestivum or something like that.

What is that fruit thing he mentions at the end? I have never heard of it and why would you desire it?

When I watch it, I often think the women dancing around should be Bjork and Nicola Sturgeon.

JeanSeberg · 06/04/2015 17:11

Made up scientific bollock names from Danone et al.

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 06/04/2015 17:16

Bifilifidifillus made up bollocks, similar to the

7 signs of Aging!

Who came up with THAT magic made up number I wonder?

As I thought, it's a made-up marketing word that varies from country to country.

And love this comment Grin

If sitting on the bog all day improves one’s feeling of well-being, then I think one should go out and get a life!

Oh and another thing that annoys me about gok is he is always banging on about "real women",so slim women or models aren't real?,spanner.He doesn't go on about real men!!.

loveliesbleeding1 · 06/04/2015 17:55

Don't forget bigidus digestivum, yummy.

LividofLondinium · 06/04/2015 20:20

do we really need to shit quicker?
Hell no! With all the lentils and beans I eat, if I had some shit inducing yoghurt too I may as well boycott my digestive system entirely and flush it straight down the loo! I mock those constipation adverts, LOL.

Speak for yourselves. Nothing brings out my inner Goddess quite like eating so much dairy I shart down the back of my Primark bellywarmers

I Hate this kittensoft ad. The husband just seems to be constantly berating his wife on a daily basis, and then he he demands she brings him in toilet paper as he shits?! Worst ad ever. Makes my blood boil whenever I see it!

Vitamints · 07/04/2015 00:26

No. The worst ad is the new Ford one for the car with keyless entry and a Start button, with a guy in tight swimming shorts getting into his car, and the voiceover, "you can keep your key wherever you like". Just where is it being implied he keeps his key?

HouseBot · 07/04/2015 01:58

As a couple of other posters have said, by far the worst ad right now is that Clean Bandit/Cortana abomination. It is their Duffy/Diet Coke moment.

GrimDamnFanjo · 07/04/2015 17:20

Nah the worst one is that Nicole Kidman "I love to dance!"

popalot · 07/04/2015 17:43

Thought it was just me! v. smarmy and all about a bloke telling women what to eat...like only women eat yoghurts anyway! I hate the mother nature tampax ones too - it's only a period.

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 07/04/2015 18:00

And the pictures of the smiling stomachs, they're obviously the taut (never been stretched by pregnancy) stomachs of teenage girls.

So not only do Activia yoghurts keep you on the loo, they also perform the miracle of getting rid of stretch marks and give you a perfect looking stomach!

It's a Miracle!

That should be smiling tummys not ^smiling stomachs.
The word stomach is too gwoan up a word for we females.

Constipation is a female issue because progesterone slows the gut. Fact Grin
