To think the Malteaser advert is in really poor taste

[Bearbehind]

Just seen a Malteaser advert where a woman in a wheelchair is talking to 2 friend in the park about her date.

The jist is she had a spasm, he enjoyed the repercussions, and whilst demonstrating her hand actions the malteasers shoot out of the bag and go every where.

Is it me or is that really bad taste?

I've got the day off today and am stuck at home waiting for a repair man. I might go back through the thread and count.

Ok, the results of my survey are in and in response to the question "Is there a double entendre within the maltesers ad about wanking?" the opinions of the posters who have expressed one are:

Yes (5)

You can add me to the yes for double entendres list

To me it does have two meanings

An innocent she just spilled her sweets meaning and a meaning

I thought it did, but I think I've changed my mind.. It actually just seems sexual

Do you want to go down as a formal "No" vote AGL?

I live in US so just went online and watched this. I think this is in really bad taste. Why does a bag of chocs have to have anything to do with getting someone off?!! Just yuck. Am going to watch their other ads now to see what else they dreamed up. However if I come back from the market with a pack of Malteasers today I will know the ads worked on some level!

The advert isn't even funny, it's awkward and cringe. It's not even subtle it's just blatant. All of the maltesers adverts are embarrassing tbh. I get that this one in particular was special Olympic based but still.

Please, bibbity :)

Ok, so we are now at Yes (6) vs No (14) and OnTheFence (3).

I think you should ask the repair man as well.

Hmm. How to raise the subject? "So, Troy, I was just thinking about that maltesers advert where the woman gives her boyfriend a hand job ..."

I imagine he's more used to being asked if he wants a cup of tea.

PMSL bibbity both at the 'scores on the doors' and the repair man!

bear, you've been extremely rude throughout this thread - assuming anyone who disagrees with you must be 'wrong,' loading your posts with insults and calling people 'stupid'. Do you honestly think it's ok for you to dish it out, but not ok for me to point out that you're using words incorrectly and making daft assumptions?

A double entendre is a play on words, not actions.

One way to make a thread disappear (and thus have one's own extremely unpleasant posts conveniently tidied away and forgotten about) is to goad another participant into a bunfight. That way it can be reported to HQ for having too many personal attacks.

Just something to bear in mind.

Oh, is that it?

Right, will steer clear.

I'm going to put ManicMechanic down as a No.

Bibbity I am in awe at your commitment.

lrd I've just checked back through my posts and I can only see two where I was even a little bit rude as I implied you were stupid and then a bit of an arse but that was after a huge amount of goading from you up until that point.

I got snippy at posters determined to twist what I disliked about the advert into something else, but that's not being 'extremely rude'.

Your posting style is unpleasant because you repeatedly use unnecessary put downs in order to make your self look superior.

It is possible to disagree on something with out doing so by being so patronising or condescending.

Neither you nor anyone else on the 'double entendre' side can explain to the rest of us what the second meaning is.

Spilling sweets means nothing.

A second meaning would have to be something, other than ejaculation, symbolised by the Maltesers

And, here's the crucial bit, it would have to mean something in the context it was shown which is following a conversation about and hand actions to demonstrate, wanking and it absolutely does not.

Oh my god i can't believe you two are still arguing about this! Get a grip!

Thank you. I am chained to laptop looking for a new car (most boring thing ever) and keep coming back to this thread. It has got me hooked.

I am rather enjoying the diversion into semantics - put me down as a No

Bibbity im not referring to you, your input is funny!

It wasn't an advert for Malteasers , it was a female comedian with cerebral palsy on Live At The Apollo .
