To think Poundland ad is not “genius” and is actually a bit I appropriate?

[speakerwoofers]

Most comments on Facebook are proclaiming it “genius.” I don’t think a sexual innuendo is that genius TBF.

Plus why is it a woman lying on her back with a t shirt saying “power” and a man standing over her dominating her. They could have at least chosen another sexual innuendo.

Also difficult to explain to kids.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

"Any reason why it wasn’t a man lying on the floor?"

Good lord, no! That would be awful!

The poor menz!

The argument that it's a doll is wierd.
Do you want gollywog dolls back too?

Well you learn something new every day on Mumsnet! I did not know what teabagging was, never heard of it so I've googled it now....

"Do you want gollywog dolls back too?"

Don't go there!

Filthy misogynistic nastiness.
Anyone who thinks it's funny is really thick. So fucking thick they don't even realise how offensive that is. Twinnings PR must be useless to let go out and stay out.

I don't understand how it's meant to be funny at all, never mind "genius." As it is, it's lazy toilet humour for the terminally thick who probably think that the LADBible is sophisticated and refer to things as bantz/banter.

Well women can’t teabag men can they. They don’t have ball bags.

Only on MN is it acceptable to call people 'thick' if they don't agree with you

humourless cunt is more apt

I think the point is that it would be a man with another man. Except it wouldn’t because men don’t get portrayed in submissive sexual positions by high st stores

Well women can’t teabag men can they. They don’t have ball bags.

Women do the teabagging.

Wtf. Why is an elf teabagging a doll?!?!

Maybe next year they could have a group of white action men in hoods holding a rope and surrounding a black action man. Oh how I’d laugh. It wouldn’t mean anything though because they’re just dolls.

Sorry but I don’t get it. Anyone care to explain.
I get it meant to rude but how ??

Oh, FFS, don't be so ridiculous.

Oh Jesus get a life. No way the same.

Roman in what way different?

I’m sorry if you have the sort of mind set where you think those are in any way comparable, I don’t think it’s worth even getting into that conversation.

Romans

Why?

I’d have preferred two elves personally

.

No come on Roman - explain to us why racism is a problem but misogyny isn't.

Yep, with you on this one. Not the same.

Given the current climate of hatred towards women and the constant objectification of them and violence towards them, I'm not sure it's so different to white hooded dolls and a black action figure.

I think it's funny
