God I HATE that advert - which other adverts seem to be written by men....

[mumtochloe]

Aside from Vagisil of course!!

The advert in question is that one for a loo cleaner where the woman has just had a baby and has her "friends" over. One asks to use the loo and the glamorous looking mums main concern is that the loo is clean. The friend in question goes into the loo looking all critical but is so pleased as the loo is clean. Aarggh - when I had my dd I couldn't give a flying you know what if my loo was spotless, I certainly didn't look glamorous and if any of my friends had turned up being critical of my loo cleaning abilities she would probably got a severe tongue lashing. Definitely written by a man me thinks.

Are there any other adverts out at present that are obviuosly written by men

that coke zero one, they're all men on that. i worked in an ad agency, i think there was one woman copywriter in amongst about 10 men.

oh no the best bit of the add is when the baby's nappy smells and the two visiting "friends" look at teh Mum as if she crawled out of the black lagoon cause her baby did a poo - if they were friends of mine I would give them a quick lesson in exactly what I would like to do with th1e stinky nappy

Totally with you, southeastastra, as soon as I saw the thread title I thought of Coke zero. And of course the AA (RAC?) one where they keep missing the rests out of 'You've got a friend'. Grr.

whoever came up with scented tampons has to be a man

[barf]

um... virtually ALL adverts?

that shaking arse thing

the nuts adverts

the list goes on...

I like the arse add - it always makes me mile, no matter how often I tell myself I hate it on principle!

it's exploitative filth
add up how many 'pert young things' compared to normal or big or whatever

Secur - how could I have missed that out? Double aarghh!!!

There are never scented tampons? What really? WTF - why??!!!

"to give you a nice fresh feeling down in your nethers..."

oh god yes that shaking ass thing

that makes me so mad

also every advert about room spray/ air fresheners/ cleaning products etc which feature people sniffing and frowning

I hate that arse-shaking one too.

mumtochloe yes, they smell of flowers......

cos that is what we're meant to smell of down there

?

next time that arse one is on - just coun the airtime given to each 'type' of arse...

you'll see it is pretty unbalanced

they know EXACTLY what they are doing

Silly me. Of course?!!! Not that you actually notice a tampon when in situ anyway but as long as it comes out smelling of roses then great! As if it is gonna stay around long enough anyway lol. Definitely designed by a man!!

yes just like the entire world is meant to smell of pine forests and citrus

most peculiar

or should that be MOIST peculiar??

Oh yes, jumping on to bandwagons furiously, but totally agree that anything showing WOMEN having a vile piece of plastic in their house in order to make it smell like a bunch of chemicals is v crap indeed.

Salamander, calm down you will give yourself an ulcer! I don't bother with counting or timing, I just have a little smirk and move on with my life! Sorry that offends you so much

I hate adverts with a passion. I always do housework in the adverts - amazing how much you can get done when you only have 3 minutes or so

The Cillit Bang one where he SHOUTS at us because we are obviously stupid deaf women who only want to clean our houses. Who the f* is Barry Scott anyway???

I know I know I shouldn't get so wound up but I can't help it!

re pine forests and citrus... I can just about understand citrus since lemon does have disinfectant properties itself

but pine I don't get. Or fruits of the forest. What actual fruit of the forest can you really use to mop down your kitchen floor?

BANG! And the dirt is gone!

and then he crosses his arms

it's so gay
