I have just saw this. Has this company no shame at all?

I remember them pulling something like this in Elephant and Castle last year. It's questionable for sure. To be honest the people I'm most upset for are all the families and other involved that are going to be shamed and hurt from all of this

MummieNiamh · 29/06/2021 12:10

I thought this type of advertisting wasn't allowed to be honest @GoodToBeFree
Feel sorry the most for Hancock's kids.

Why wouldn’t it be allowed?

lilmishap · 29/06/2021 12:11

This company is for people wanting to cheat, asking if they have a sense of shame is as daft as asking if rain comes in varying degrees of wet.

GoodToBeFree · 29/06/2021 12:12

Yeah @MummieNiamh 100% this isn't even the worst of it really I've been seeing so much stuff circulating making a mockery of it all. I'll be honest I wasn't hancocks number 1 fan either but this is taking it a bit far

LouLou2001xx · 29/06/2021 12:16

lol sorry but I find this hilarious

LouLou2001xx · 29/06/2021 12:18

@lilmishap looool! OH I just realised that bit doh Blush

MummieNiamh · 29/06/2021 12:19

@loulou2001xx how is this funny? It's encouraging people to cheat!

MummieNiamh · 29/06/2021 12:19

@AnneLovesGilbert surely there are laws for certain things that cannot be advertised ?

@MummieNiamh it really isn't up to you to scrutinise what I find funny or not. When politicians are in the public light like that they need to be careful not behave like prepubescent teenagers for the whole world to see

Asterales · 29/06/2021 12:22

Why on earth would it not be allowed? Cheating isn't illegal, you can't legislate for people's personal lives like the morality police.

DaphneMoonsSeattle · 29/06/2021 12:24

That's a terrible ad!! Sure, he got caught! Are llicit Encounters trying to tell their potential customers that they can carry on for a while before their affair becomes public knowledge and is discussed on radio programs even in other countries?

me4real · 29/06/2021 12:26

@MummieNiamh Adultery isn't illegal unfortunately. It's probably illegal to advertise some illegal things IDK.

I think the ad's quite funny. But upsetting if his wife and kids saw it.

me4real · 29/06/2021 12:27

@DaphneMoonsSeattle Yes lol he's hardly a good advert for it in a way really.

Juststopasking · 29/06/2021 12:28

It's funny.

Wrotten · 29/06/2021 12:31

I found it funny too.

TillyTopper · 29/06/2021 12:37

I find it funny too - he brought it on himself!

LouLou2001xx · 29/06/2021 12:39

@me4real haha that made me chuckle

GoodToBeFree · 29/06/2021 12:40

it's hurtful though, surely hate speech is illegal even in advertising no?

Melitza · 29/06/2021 12:42

I don't think people need encouragement to cheat.
Take the rod out of your arse OP, it's hilarious!

MolG5276bvfg · 29/06/2021 12:50

The end of a marriage is awful without having this on public display.

Feeling really sorry for his wife and kids.

LouLou2001xx · 29/06/2021 12:53

@Melitza completely agree with you

Longestfewdaysupcoming · 29/06/2021 12:55

Hurtful isn’t hate speech.

It’s in poor taste but lots of adverts are.

GoodToBeFree · 29/06/2021 12:56

at a time when they are banning fast food adverts before 9pm then surely this kind of stuff shouldn't run @Longestfewdaysupcoming

VettiyaIruken · 29/06/2021 12:58

Their target group is people who are happy to shit all over the person they claim to love. I don't think you can expect them to have any sense of decency tbh.
