I'll start. The tampon one from a few years ago where man & woman are sitting in an outside cafe, and she drops a pink wrapped min-tampon from her purse, and he hands it back to her thinking it's a sweet. FFS. If he doesn't yet know she menstruates, he's prob not ready for a sexual relationship.

Your turn..

I really hated that one for Mexican food somethings, where the woman is on the phone, being awful about her poor husband who is trying to cook tea for the ungrateful cow: 'Yeah, and now he's pouring summat in the pan, the great bastard idiot'.

Really it's any advert where the point they're trying to get across is 'Grr, those bloody useless men might be useless at everything, but even they will be able to suss out what to do with this shit we're peddling'.

The Galaxy ad which basically says all women are chocolate addicts who have to hide their stash of....... oh wait a minute Grin

Has anyone mentioned the ad yet where the women are in raptures about the walk in wardrobe while the men in the same flat are high fiving one another over the walk in beer fridge Hmm?

Special K ones - not very large model looks in the mirror/shop window and agonises over her weight.

Eats a bowl of Special K and voila - not much difference in weight, but we are led to beleive she is happier and has a better social life/boyfriend/job because she has 'lost weight' Hmm.

Not sure what the product is for but the advert where there is a naked woman in a field of hay (or sommat) and the camera goes all up her legs and bum and then stops with her face. She smiles and has black teeth. If the ad is about teeth show the bloody teeth not the bum. I get it. You want to show that said woman has bad teeth but is still pretty. Buy our toothpaste or whatever and you'll not risk same fate. Guess what, you could have had better effect if you spared me her bum and just showed her face. Would have dunnit see. Not sure why that advert is allowed, must be stretching the point surely.

The recent Spec Savers ad with the guy on the beach and about 10000 women in bikinis really annoys me.

Snuppeline that's for Corsydol (sp) mouthwash.
Doesn't matter how pert your bum is if your mouth belongs to an old toothless hag.

I think. Well, let's make sure. Let me see your bum. Hmm yes.

Special K and their sodding diet. I hate the fact that intelligent women that I know have fallen for it and done the Special K challenge. That cereal is just sugary crap - have some porridge and fruit for breakfast and soup for lunch if you want to lose weight, not something with the nutritional value of cardboard.

Virgin Atlantic (the "retro" one with the air hostesses).

Would love to give that Branson bloke a kick up the arse.

Flibberti - oh I so agree! If you eat Special K you will be hungry again in half an hour, it will NOT help you lose weight!
