Did you not know Red panda that most types of mascara can also be used to control the minds of whomever is in a 100 m radius? 😁Grin

What do you mean my shoes DON'T make me amazing?
I'm triggered.
No-one will see my yellow tinged smile anyway because smiling causes wrinkles don't you know and we all know women aren't allowed to age.

As long as women keep buying in to this crap advertisers will continue to keep advertising it :-(

TV advertising is having to keep going down and down towards a lower common denominator as the average audience is getting smaller and also less economically powerful. Nowadays only very poor or very technologically illiterate people can't fast forward through the boring bits.

AGHHHH · 31/12/2018 23:09

Oh my god, so triggered

13thWarriorWitch · 31/12/2018 23:10

Oh. Is THAT why adverts are so bloody patronising and offensively dumbed down?

I often wonder why they seem to think we are all stupid.

Tip for marketers - being poor doesn't mean you're an imbecile. Do better.

GlitterStick · 31/12/2018 23:24

Meh. Can't get worked up about it.

The vapourub one annoys me - man is too ill to rub his own Vicks into his chest, poor lamb, so wifey does it for him. The grin on her face makes me irrationally stabby Grin

RussellSprout · 31/12/2018 23:30

Another of the professionally offended out roaming the boards tonight!

Bubbinsmama · 31/12/2018 23:49

The one that really got me ranting was the Cif Sleeping Beauty advert where Sleeping Beauty awoke to bloody well clean before the price arrived!!! Angry seriously! Who thought that was a good idea?!?
I wished the Prince had arrived and cleaned up before he woke her, she'd have thought he was a right catch then Grin

Bubbinsmama · 31/12/2018 23:51

Omg yes @Grimbles hahaha that one is bloody awful!!

Rockmysocks · 01/01/2019 04:56

Bubbismama: she also puts some lippy on as well.

And, don't know if I have an over active imaginative, the doorway that her prince returns to her has quite a phallic shape. I could be misremembering.... And I need to get my head down and sleep...

FortunesFave · 01/01/2019 05:30

The model looks off her head! 0-O

SerenDippitty · 01/01/2019 07:42

Are you all as bothered by the adverts that are sexist against men? Very rarely hear complaints about these kind of adverts.

Some years back there was one for an oven cleaner which went “so simple even a man could do it”.

Oh yes this one has made me so Angry

OnlineAlienator · 01/01/2019 07:56

Terrible ad.

And yes i do get offended by male representation in ads. Most of them imply men are absolutely thick. Theres an aftershave ad (i think) right now that makes out they are chimps.

OnlineAlienator · 01/01/2019 07:56

Dont get me started on vaporub -_-

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 01/01/2019 09:36

No they don't extremelymaturecheese, they make the only toothpaste that doesn't make my lips peel or give me mouth ulcers!

DamsonGin · 03/01/2019 19:16

I've just seen the vaporub ad, have I been doing this wifey thing wrong all the years?

MoggEatMoggWorld · 03/01/2019 19:22

The advertising industry is one of the patriarchy’s most useful tools. I stopped watching “live” tv with ads and avoid them every way I can because every single one makes my blood boil.

Singlenotsingle · 03/01/2019 19:26

It's that gross, screaming red lipstick that made me cringe.
