To think new irn bru advert is in poor taste

Am I the only one to think the latest Irn Bru advert is in very poor taste, they say it's humour, REALLY ? I have visions of children in playgrounds all shouting 'can't ' and thinking it funny because they know exactly what they mean

YABU. It's just a play on words, "can't" and "cunt". There's nothing offensive about it. It just highlights how silly it is to get offended by words. You can't say "country" without saying "cunt", but people use it all the time.

Even Shakespeare joked about " country matters" in Hamlet- it was quite a joke in those days.

Oh yes cow is more offensive in Scotland than cunt. We're an odd bunchGrin

Seriously? Hmm

Not sure I buy that one. And yes, I've lived in Scotland.

It’s probably the most shite irn bru advert I’ve seen.

I’m actually disappointed in it.

Don’t see the problem. The guy says ‘can’t’, doesn’t sound like anything else to me.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 13/03/2018 17:38

It's more that calling someone a cow is always a definite insult.

Pfftkids · 13/03/2018 17:43

There's a few 'Cants' on here Grin

ConstantReminder · 13/03/2018 18:40

Pfftkids you can’t say that!

Pfftkids · 13/03/2018 21:55

😂 too late I've said it, it's out in the world for all to see. There's some can'ts and some cans on here
