Looking at the George/Asda website for new PJs as its getting colder my arse won't fit in my others and as I was going through the pictures of a set I liked I came across the attached picture Blush

AIBU to clutch my pearls?

*Disclaimer I wont be contacting ASDA I am really not offended although it did take me by surprise.

Asda also do Tickled Pink boob muffins.

I wouldn’t have registered this either.

For goodness sake ...... Some of you are offended by the most ridiculous things Confused Maybe I just live in a more earthy country, where we tend not to clutch our pearls over every little thing.

What was the ad where one woman was commiserating another for not getting an acting gig and makes her laugh by pretending fairy cakes with cherries were boobs? Or did I imagine that?

I swear some people go out just looking for something to be outraged by just to fill their empty lives with something dramatic 🤷‍♀️

@KittenKong I think it was for maltesers.

KittenKong · 12/11/2021 08:02

Such a good ad... when you can’t remember what it was for (I was wondering if it was Mr Kipling!)

My lord to have the time to get wound up about such things!

It’s for tickled pink, the breast cancer awareness charity Asda run, it’s all about the boobies and it’s obviously worked well, got us taking about it and hopefully checking ourselves!

Here's another from George.

They're trying to stop people regarding breasts as something embarrassing or sexual, so they can be talked about easily and breast cancer can be something that is freely discussed.

It's a culture thing where display of the nipple is the crossover line from funny good or bad to poor taste / soft porn & top shelf material.

Well yes, but that's what breast cancer charities want to break down. Why should women's nipples - which are there to feed babies - be seen as something that's sexual or top shelf? Such attitudes make it more difficult to discuss breasts and their associated problems.

It's a bit crass but hey.

They are marshmallows, not nipples!!!! Struggling to see what is so offensive about nipples anyway.

BrutusMcDogface · 12/11/2021 08:48

I think it’s fine, and as pps have said, it might encourage younger people to check their boobs; remove stigma etc

Be honest, that picture of the model naked (even only from the waist up) and holding her nipples. Funny to sexy in a scale of 1 to 10?

Remember, breasts are nice sex toys.
By a stroke of good fortune are a 2for1 deal with the bodies most men find sexually attractive.🤷🏼‍♀️
Some women misuse them to feed babies. 😫
Thoughts and prayers to all affected.
