Sorry, I just had to share this: twitter.com/adamgarriereal/status/1345135251190935552

Am I being unreasonable to find it hilarious that this man is having his arse handed to him by basically everyone.

(In case you haven't got twitter it's an image the Government have put out to mark the end of tax on sanitary products and they have gasps included an image of a tampon - this chap Adam Garrie has retweeted and commented " Good policy but is this obscene image really necessary?")

Twitter does not agreeGrin

I don't know, judging by his follow up comments I think he's possibly trolling or attempting humour.

ArrowsOfMistletoe · 02/01/2021 13:48

Well, he's clearly never had any, has he?

My favourite response was the image of the food bank queue - now that is an obscenity.

Terrible image, no blood on the tampon.

BringBiscuits · 02/01/2021 13:53

Hilarious! What a prat. Does he even know what he’s looking at if he’s taking offence at a piece of string??

littlepattilou · 02/01/2021 13:54

It did make me LOL! Grin

The pics people have put on instead are really funny!

What is his problem? Not like the image was of a USED tampon. boak Grin

Well we all know how renowned men are fir keeping all things below the waist private Hmm

Hmm I don’t think he’s having his arse handed to him to be fair. If he was at all bothered by the comments, then perhaps, but he’s clearly not. I don’t think he’s being serious.

I bet he is a spectacularly shit shag!

ChocolateCherrybomb · 02/01/2021 14:10

What a wanker. He is obviously just making publicity mileage out of it because he cannot possibly be such a ridiculous tit as he portrays.

@girlcrushonvillanelle you make the assumption that any woman has had that low self-esteem to have had one.
