To all the women making fools of theselves by inventing some rape angle in the 'Pepsi' advert thread. It's an advert - she makes a move on the man.

End of discussion.

Close the thread, step away from the computer and at least pretend to have a life.

oh dear. someone didn't get a mothers day card or something?

I agree with Super. There is no need for sexual abuse in soft drink promotions at all. It undermines the very product.

yanbu I opened the thread, looked at the ad and then burst out laughing when i realised that a rape claim was being thrown around when their is absolutely no basis for it.

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 14/03/2010 20:11

OMG sexual abuse??

Fucking hell.

SuperSmartMum · 14/03/2010 20:22

mayorquimby - why thank you. A rare voice of reason in a sea of hate towards me.

And I don't watch tv and have a life. At least I think I do.....Actually I'll have some too Rasputin. I feel an Amy Winehouse kind of evening coming on....

Jogging on now

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 14/03/2010 21:30

One quick point - I don't think you can tell someone you are not going to get personal, and then call her a little girl, OP.

"Now, I'm not going to get personal with you.......................................

Now, be a good little girl and jog on will you?"
