I can't believe that they need to stoop to women fighting then snogging to advertise their wares. Am I over reacting?

Agree.

I was totally gobsmacked when the FC logo came on at the end.

I sat watching it thinking, what on earth could this be advertising.

Agree dp and I both thought it was hideous

I was baffled by what it could be for, and then even more baffled when I found out... tacky and pointless.

If it was for something related then I could sort of see why but wtf has 2 girls headbutting each other, kicking the cr*£ out of each other and then kissing at the end, got to do with a clothing store?

It really is a pointless and tacky way of advertising IMO.

Agree. They're trying to be shocking again. Tedious.

No worse than your average computer game or Christina Aguilera video. It's crap and unimaginative but have seen it all before elsewhere.

Thing is BH you're expecting that type of thing from a game & it'll have a guidance cert on it. I love Miss A & her videos but I don't let DD watch Christina. I don't need to see it on adverts and I was totally taken aback when it came on. It may only be on after 9 I've not noticed but I still felt it was ott. Glad to know I wasn't just getting prudish in my old age
