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 !

“…..amazing but they've taken away the spa area and given it over to Pelaton - who the fuck wants to do a work out before you get on a flight??”

Actually not a bad idea circulation wise before sitting still for hours.

Bit late to the party.

I agree that the pilot is female, a woman. I think the intention is to show that Virgin, being so progressive, even let LadyBrains fly planes.

catwithflowers · 14/10/2023 15:24

I assumed the Virgin pilot is a woman who has decided she doesn't need to wear make up/feels comfortable as she is.

As a mum whose child is going through mental he’ll ( as are we) due to online trans indoctrination, id like to give the advertising company a talking to.
if it’s inclusive, why is it being rammed down our throat?

TomAllenWife · 14/10/2023 16:32

It doesn't bother me, I love the song it's very 'fuck you I am what I am'

I love flying with virgin, for a relatively small airline they are far superior to the likes of BA

CornishClott · 14/10/2023 16:59

It's on all the time . It's just annoying now .

Oganesson118 · 14/10/2023 17:10

We were just talking about it. I have no strong feelings either way, I don't watch much commercial TV anyway, but my daughter said it's her favourite advert. By contrast, my in laws apparently absolutely hate it. I'm sure there are worse ones.

Grrrpredictivetex · 14/10/2023 17:37

Would only fly long haul with Virgin beats most of the others hands down.
The job of the advert had probably been very successful as you've all remembered it, most ads pass me by and are very forgettable.

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!

I agree. If you want me to spend money with your company, don’t speak to me like that, even in an advert.

TellySavalashairbrush · 14/10/2023 17:45

Ironic when the founder of the said company is widely known in the industry as someone who treats women like objects and has had more dalliances with stewardesses than I’ve had hot dinners

TomAllenWife · 14/10/2023 19:41

@FictionalCharacter @MeinKraft

You are both completely missing the point of the song!

hollyhocksinthegarden · 14/10/2023 21:47

Well I really like this ad. It makes me smile every time and I love the song and looked it up to see who sang it orginally.

Shirley Bassey's version is my favourite!

I love the advert and the message :)

Bumface56 · 15/10/2023 06:21

I love this advert ❤️

Fifireee · 15/10/2023 06:24

Sometimes when I’m feeling like a lol I go and look at Sam Branson’s instagram account - he is Richard Branson’s son. It’s utter drivel psychobabble with no sense of self awareness. He may have created the advert.

Lesleypocock84 · 20/10/2023 22:54

Hi all I also hate the bloody Virgin Atlantic advert but it's on every channel and it's soooo annoying

I really like it too. Ok so it's 'woke' but I love that you can be all of this things now. Loved the female pilot turning to camera at the end...

The one I really can't stand is that awful Nationwide one, it's on constantly

I think the face puller is Mel C?

Yes it is.

fireplacetiles · 21/10/2023 00:11

Not Mel C

That bloody Virgin advert
JonHammIsMyJamm · 21/10/2023 20:22

Of course it isn’t Mel C. She’s way too young to be Mel C.

SuperNewMe · 22/10/2023 23:07

The "I am what I am?"advert?
I love it if so, think it's a bit feel good!
Kind of showing you and making you feel it's alright to just be "you"

FoxeyBingo · 26/12/2023 17:19

Why don't you ☺️

FoxeyBingo · 26/12/2023 17:24

Part of the Corporate Woke agenda to attack everything normal people consider normal...the weaponisation of LGBTetc, feminism and race relations (showing my age now) by corporations who don't actually give a rats arse about 'minorities' but want their dollars 😡
