that Trident advert is a disgrace

why should breasts be used to promote insurance???

nothing to do with being sad or lonely - it is just so disrespectful and out-dated

ehoward · 10/10/2008 16:50

riven leave it alone ! ive got 3 daughters and i asked them 2 look at the ad and they loved it .

RubySlippers · 10/10/2008 16:51

ehoward - interesting way to introduce yourself to MN

just the three posts

do you work for Trident by any chance?

ehoward · 10/10/2008 16:54

no i just joined the site and always interested in other peoples opinions who do u work for is this a free country??????

policywonk · 10/10/2008 16:54

To be fair to Trident (not that I really want to), that film is no more vulgar, brain-dead, insulting or inappropriate than about 50 per cent of the music videos that get made these days. They're just knocking out the same brain-dead crap.

policywonk · 10/10/2008 16:55

If you're interested in other people's opinions, why are you telling riven to 'leave it alone'?

I said that cos your arguement wasn't balanced, I care about value & cost as a mother and if this is their way of marketing we dont have to buy but i reckon my husband & lots of other men like him may well buy cos it's tongue in cheek!

Liffey · 10/10/2008 16:59

ehoward, this is a site for parents, mostly women, some men, but not really for benny hill types pretending to be women.

ehoward · 10/10/2008 17:00

I am probably more woman than you'll ever be!

Did you tell them where you were from Riven? I find it unusual that a call centre would allow someone to request a particular operator and it's a long shot to actually get him.

freespiritfreedom · 10/10/2008 17:05

its cuz of assholes like robert, bf in public is so taboo.

Everything is a conspiracy isn't it, you have nothing better to do then bitch about things & bitch at a new person on this site. does this site only belong to you & your sad & outdated opinion

Liffey · 10/10/2008 17:05

Yeah, I'm 34a so I'm not a woman at all. I'm a prune.

Good work Riven!!

mummsy11 · 10/10/2008 17:06

TinkerBellesMum · 10/10/2008 17:06

Or maybe we've just picked up a troll from the cross boarding activities of this week

needmorecoffee · 10/10/2008 17:06

gosh, lot of textspeak on this thread. Schools out is it?

Liffey · 10/10/2008 17:07

ehoward, I'm new here too, but I didn't wander in and start talking about trident or breasts or telling people there's a conspiracy.

How's it outdated to have an opinion that breasts shouldn't be used to sell insurance? I thought that was freedom of speech?? Tripping yourself up because you have no co-herent philosophy besides liking plenty of breasts.

Arf @ howard.
Are you on commission?

mummsy11 · 10/10/2008 17:07

ehoward · 10/10/2008 17:08

What do you mean commission?

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 10/10/2008 17:08

Who let the trolls out?
