iabu to object to the maltesers ad featuring a women 'pole dancing' round a washing line??

[shazzg]

saw it today with my 2 dughters at 1.15pm = a housewife -'pole dancing' round washing line

ahhh
t makes my blood boil -lapdancingis so sexist and degrading for many women and yet it's sooooo normal in our society that its on a lunch time ad for chocolate.i finfd it offensive and inappropriate and have complained to mars andasa what does everyone else think?????? ps. pleese don't tell me to get over it or ignore it coz i can't and wont.ta.

woman was fully clothed was she?

not seen it,take no notice of adverts really

sorry...you mention both lap dancing and pole dancing in you op....which is it?

Pole dancing is not necessarily for male pleasure!

Were you watching ?Loose Women??that?s usually when the malteser adds are on.

I worry more about the content of the program than the adverts, they can be a bit?um, adult at times....never mind pole dancing round a washing line

pole dancing is apparently very good for fitness!!

Not seen it.

pole dancing? was she clothed? was she just twirling round the washing pole or was she gyrating? Going upside down? spreading her legs? cos that would be offensive! Twirling round a washing line - not terribly offensive imo.

We need a link to the ad for a good ole judge.

I agree with unicorn.

ilovetiffany - eh?does it matter which one it is?
yep i'm sue its great for fitness - but if you've ever worked with homeless women you'll see it's not god for self esteem , mental health and finances in general.

but can I just add - you have posted in AIBU. You have asked if you are being unreasonable, and you have also told people that they are not allowed to tell you that they think you are being unreasonable! "pleese don't tell me to get over it or ignore it coz i can't and wont"

So how exactly are people supposed to respond to you?

Not seen it. But tbh I cant see maltezers doing anything too graphic
fwiw, I love my pole, its great exercise, and the boys love doing it too

er....yes,it matters...oh,and i WAS once a homeless woman myself!! don't generalise,my self esteem is just fine thanks!

whyb would 'finances in general' suffer??????

maltesers don't cost much!!

Yeah cos all homeless women lap/pole? dance

Can you esplain about the ad more please, pretty much just answering Unicorn's questions would be good!

well, pole dancing is twirling round a pole on a stage and lap dancing is straddling a man and rubbing your fanny in his face.

So I think it's important to know which one is shown in the maltesers ad!

i asked op which it was....she wouldn't/couldn't answer that....

well i think UABU,i love the malteasers ads,they are all hilarious and how you can find them offensive puzzles me,
its hardly pole dancing she is dancing with a whirly FGS!

Get over it.

(god, I'm such a child)

how do you know she's a 'housewife'too....??

Really fancy a packet with my cup of tea now...

Is she rubbing and frotting?

Or just swinging around in a way which people did (in adverts anyway ) before modern pole dancing style was well known?

You mean you dont swing round yours?

I'm thinking the distinction between the bloke swinging round the lamp-post in singing in the rain, and the style practiced by say the ladies of the hot hot a-go-go ra ra ladyparts club in clacton.

OP YABU, you need to get over it.

And also learn the difference between pole dancing and lap dancing.

I have searched YouTube and Google for a Maltesers ad featuring either pole dancing or lap dancing and can't find anything.

Link please?

I just did that too. Cant be on there yet?
Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the owrld who is immune to advertising. I must see some, I just dont recall any!
