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

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

Cappucino · 02/08/2006 12:16

celebrity beauty editor? wtf is one of those?

Caligula · 02/08/2006 12:17

Nutrisse sounds like one of those made-up girl's names.

cremolafoam · 02/08/2006 12:18

lol caligula
yes celebrity pricetag WTF

cupcakes · 02/08/2006 12:21

I hate the Jane Fonda one ('nuh'??)
and the 'overtired' car one
and the Lotus wet loo roll clean freaks
and Sheila's Wheels

but I do like shaking your arse.

Salamander · 02/08/2006 12:25

What is there to like about the arse one, Cupcakes?!?!?!

cupcakes · 02/08/2006 12:26

I like the music and it makes me smile. I think bottoms are funny.

Salamander · 02/08/2006 12:27

but it's not done for 'funny' - it's done for 'perve'

mind you - if you like it, fair enough

cupcakes · 02/08/2006 12:30

I think it's 'ironic' perving. Maybe I'm a perv...

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 12:32

i have grown terribly fond of the 'celebritybeautyeditornadinebaggott', to give her her full name.

particularly as on the day the ad production team obviously took one look at her (she is a little rough on Fern and Phil) and promptly smeared the camera lens with Vaseline or some other Olay-brand petroleum gel product. it really makes me laugh.

i've met her at product launches and things, she is pretty daft. used to be a beautyeditor myself. without the celebrity name tag...

cupcakes · 02/08/2006 12:33

is she real???!

cremolafoam · 02/08/2006 12:36

skinlikewaxworknadinebaggot. at least she has an ugly name

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 12:39

to be fair, what does go with Baggott? aaaaah, Nutrisse, obviously...

fullmoonfiend · 02/08/2006 12:40

cremolafoam - quick hi-jack. I love you, I love you I love you!!!! (well your name, any way )

(I have never found anyone else who remembers that exquisite 70s powdered, drink which I consumed 450million gallons of when I was a nipper. Exactly the sort of thing I would never let my kids have if it was around today

Salamander · 02/08/2006 12:41

Ironic Perving

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 12:43

we were allowed cremolafoam as a treat. but it had to be with milk. it was disgusting, and all part of my mother's master plan.
oh how i used to stare out of the window at the other kids getting their Alpine lorry deliveries...

CorrieDale · 02/08/2006 12:44

oh Aitch, you have soooo disillusioned me. I thought she was like Barry Scott - a figment of an ad-man's imagination. (Although I did idly wonder why they couldn't give her a more glamorous surname, and had put it down to scriptwriter's spite.)

fullmoonfiend · 02/08/2006 12:45

Aitch? Really? With MILK??? Boak!

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 12:46

as i say, precisely her evil plan... we were begging for straight milk by the end.
are you scottish, was that a wee dry boak i heard?

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 12:48

did you think it was a cunning double bluff, corrie? nah, she's real. ish.

cremolafoam · 02/08/2006 12:59

a yes the delicious nuclear taste of cremolafoam. now available as cremolafoam zero with petapeptides

fullmoonfiend · 02/08/2006 13:01

No, I'm a Geordie! And I'm afraid I nicked 'boak' off another Mnetter - but it's soooo perfect; sort of onamatapaeic!

fullmoonfiend · 02/08/2006 13:02

Cremola!

cremolafoam · 02/08/2006 13:13

fullmoon-it was pretty radioactive stuff. sis and i used to dare each other to eat it neat off a teaspoon. the raspberry flavour would make your eyes pop out and you would wheeze for a week afterwards.
god we were lovely children

aitch71 · 02/08/2006 13:14

isn't it though? i only have to use the expression 'dry boak' and my DH heaves. he's so suggestible... will probably be drinking Bloke Coke by this evening...
