Anyone else think the girls in this year's Boots Ad are a right bunch of slappers compared to last years one in the office? If i was the waiter i'd be checking into an STD clinic...

Is this some new slapper chic for recession time?

up the sisterhood !!

chegirl · 17/11/2009 18:00

No I dont.
Lots of makeup does not = venereal disease
Slapper does = misongenistic language.

Otherwise [bicuit]

TheFoosa · 17/11/2009 18:02

can't say I've thought that deeply about it

ComeONFabStopStressingSOMuch · 17/11/2009 18:03

You need to get out more.

Remotew · 17/11/2009 18:03

The advert does make me cringe but calling people slappers with STD's is a bit much. YABU

BoneYard · 17/11/2009 18:05

Was meant to be lighthearted....they look a bit rough round the edges for your usual Christmas advert.

That's me told though eh?

Were you in last years and not picked for this one ?

Raeray · 17/11/2009 18:10

Its the song I have problem with...it haunts me from last year when it seemed to be on every advert or tv show with a woman in it!!

chegirl · 17/11/2009 18:13

I wish I could bloody spell then my emoticon would have had more impact (possibly).

Boneyard. I wouldnt count on you being 'told'. People tend to leap in further down the thread and just keep going. So you might get told a bit more

Remotew · 17/11/2009 18:18

It's not as classy as M&S that's for sure.

RockBird · 17/11/2009 18:22

I just wish they'd kept the original version and not that Girls Aloud shite.

Remotew · 17/11/2009 18:27

Isn't it 'Sugarbabes'? Will google.

Francasaysrelax · 17/11/2009 18:29

Oh is there a link to the ad?

carocaro · 17/11/2009 18:30

The M&S one is good but then so so so VILE.

That line from the actor about the one 'dancing around in her underwear' just tacky, tasteless and vile.

Yes thats what Christmas is all about dancing about in your undewear. Fucking divs. They are trying to be funny, but it's like some perverted Uncle the whole family hates cracking an vile joke at the wrong time. Piss Poor.

RockBird · 17/11/2009 18:32

Yep, it is the Sugarbabes, you're right. It's still shite though

tethersend · 17/11/2009 18:33

Charlie Brooker puts it very well...

BoneYard · 17/11/2009 20:37

Is it a good thing i thought the same as Charlie Brooker?

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 17/11/2009 20:46

but you didn't think the same as charlie brooker

you thought the ad was depicting slags who were riddled with vd becaue they wore a lot of slap and ogled the waiter

err, I don't think charlie said that...

tethersend · 17/11/2009 20:57

Sorry, Boneyard- Charlie describing how he wants to punch 900 women in the face was marginally less offensive than your OP...

...This does not mean I enjoy the Boots advert.
