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.

It's either Gok or somebody from Danone.

The Gods have spoken. We all have iffy hormones.

It would be the best ad ever if the JD Williams pastel women sharted whilst salsaing .

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 07/04/2015 18:25

Activia women plus JD Williams women all dancing and having a wild old time.

On the subject of bad ads I can't stand the one at the moment advertising the Big Night In thing for the Macmillan cacer charity.

All her friends come round in these stereotypes (The dj, the gossip etc)

When it comes on I have to change channel

Gok is a tool but Nicole scherzinger in those muller corner adverts must take prize place I feel. Those fucking ads with her arsing about with yoghurt painted perfectly on the tip of her nose, gasping 'mullerlicious' makes me feel homicidal.

Wait, Lorraine Kelly being spoon fed Activia by Gok. Then sharting all over her JD Williams outfit whilst salsa dancing, thus scattering her dancing bastard mates; and then finding there's no kitten soft bog roll.

At least those big flowery dresses would disguise any nasty little mishaps.

That is true takeme shit never shows on shit. That however, is not a reason to subject us to those ads.

What we know about women is that we need activus digestivemuma bollexio to have flat taut happy tummy and so we can shit through the eye of a needle.
Once we hit the age of 50 we must get together with large groups of 50 something women and collectively start dancing in random places, but only Latin dancing is allowed. You MUST only wear garish flower patterns in a variety of pastel colours. Oh and female teenagers can only communicate by the art of song.

Is that everything!

takemeuptheeiffeltower · 07/04/2015 22:23

You have covered everything Frizzcat.

Is an older woman doing Latin dancing the female equivalent of Dad Dancing? Hmm

That Activia advert was on at Christmas. My mum and I watched it in disbelief, guffawed at "accelerated intestinal transit" and then shouted in unison "you mean it makes you poo quicker" before collapsing in hysterical laughter. My poor dad came into the room at this point to find us both unable to speak....

So thank you Activia for the best laugh we had all Christmas.

YY and Y to his thread Grin! Could not agree more!!

And why can't the women in those barftastic Trivago adverts stand up by themselves and why do they speak in horribly irritating sing-song baby voices?

And come to think of it [slightly off topic but still] why do middle-aged woman in choirs have to jig about and pretend to be all jolly and wear pink feather boas and hideous pink stilletos? Are they not allowed to just wear plain black and stand there and sing? (I know there are lots who do but anyway... ).

Frizzcat · 07/04/2015 23:00

takeme it's not the ladies dancing, it's the fact salsa dancing is always used to show that ladies can still be sexy and older, just such a cliche.

I think we all do dad dancingSmile. In our beautiful wee minds we're laying moves on that dance floor the like of which no one has ever seen before.
In our beautiful minds our family and friends marvel at how fantastic at dancing we are and wonder where oh where did she learn to dance like that.
Our beautiful minds have not registered the fifteen G&T's. Instead, we're dancing to the beat of our own drum (which is very likely not the same song the dj is playing). Probably looking like a bandy legged buffoon shagging a lamppost.
I don't want to be in the salsa gang, I want to be in the buffoon gang. I can always us brain bleach in the morningWink

Chesntoots · 07/04/2015 23:02

With all this salsa dancing and shitting through the eye of a needle, when do we have time to fit in rollerskating in white shorts whilst on our periods?

Frizzcat · 07/04/2015 23:09

That would be a great ad for a mooncupGrin

BabyGanoush · 07/04/2015 23:24

yeah, this ad gives me the rage.

yoghurt that make you poo

just why?
