That bloody Virgin advert

[SnitterBug]

Is anyone else sick and tired of that bloody Virgin Atlantic advert ? It's not the content that annoys me it's just on all the time !

I switch off most adverts but considering its an anti equality and anti diversity advert, makes it more annoying. One white bloke on for a few seconds, the rest all BAME and LBGTQ S and M.

Yes! The whole thing is so contrived.

Yup - it's cringe and irritating AF

Why don't you just switch off the television set and go and do something less boring instead?

That's a quote from a kids tv show from the 80's - can't think what it was called at this moment in time.

Ha it was called Why Don't You and started in the 70's!

Hate the virgin ad too btw.

Yes I hate it, it just feels cringey, patronising and tokenisation in its attempt to appear diverse and inclusive. Plus the song is really irritating once you’re hearing it for the thousandth time.

Creeps the bejezus out of me, have to switch it off. I can't watch any of it and I say this as a gay woman.

It's on all the time it must have cost a fortune . Guess their future customers will
Be woke young graduates and they want their future custom .

Why Don't You! @iliketartan

Oh god yes, so bloody annoying 🙄 switch it over whenever it comes on. Where are all the normal people?

Pisses me off too when the lady says 'your life is a sham' well who are you to make that judgement whoever you are! Just because I'm not flying a plane or strutting about with glittery eyeshadow on doesn't mean my life is a sham. Fuck off!

Why Don’t You

I have to switch it off when it comes on which feels like every 5 minutes, the screeching singer, the ghastly person who pulls their mouth open, the wokeism, hate it.

That’s the one I can’t stand. It’s horrible. I’m interested to know if their flights really are trans heavy (not counting the usual gay stewards). Is there lots of glittery eyeshadow, are the pilots trans? Are most of the passengers ‘queer’? I suspect in reality their planes are just filled by the same motley lot of holiday makers, families and crew as any other plane.

There’s a Virgin trans woman pilot on TikTok. I was surprised that she’s not on the advert.

Ds is really scared by that person pulling the face. Can you imagine if the plane were filled with these people? You’d think you were in some horrible nightmare.

Why they thought it was ok for a, what I presume is a complete stranger, pull that face at a child I don’t know. Not really sure what the point of it was.

Can't stand the ad and hated Why Don't You also! Made no sense telling viewers to switch off.

Our front of house guy at work is a former air steward, and openly gay. He fucking loathes that ad too, it makes him cringe his arsehole inside out.

I'm so glad it's not just me who hates the face-pulling! The whole ad is just so bloody... worthy. Shoehorning in every sexuality and gender identity diversity they could think of. I can well imagine the advertising execs gave themselves a solid pat on the back for it though.

I don't blame him they really creep me out and I'm a middle aged woman, it's the reason they someone included that person as well feels really really sinister as if it's telling children this is ok if a stranger does this.

Bald punks should be irradiated from society. And hairy ones. And while we’re at all/ all the goths too. Oh and anyone who dresses remotely different to me and my friends. And ban rock music too. Thatll stop them pesky punk rockers.

Snap. Are women flight attendants allowed to wear glittery eye show?
I don’t know why companies think this is a big income stream for them, we all know flights are full of families or business men

I get really irritated by this advert. Its all about celebrating equality and diversity; but seems to miss out disabled people. It is utterly grim flying as a wheelchair user
