If you haven't seen it the ad is here it's so wrong on so many levels that I will leave it up to you to put it all together. The song "Blurred Lines" needs a bloody complaint all of it's own too.

Please complain about it to ASA there is a thread in chat too.

Will complain on the basis it went out pre watershed. Mrs and I thought it was an ad for a sex aid!!

BlueSkySunnyDay · 12/06/2013 23:37

I thought it was a sex toy, ds1 (12) and I just looked at each other in shock and ignored it....now I know.

No, it made me laugh. it's just so obviously trying it on you can't, but admire the cheek.

BlueSkySunnyDay · 12/06/2013 23:51

So its meant to look like a sex toy? Sigh....I must be getting old...... why?

Advert is truly crap (I didn't remember anything about it other than what I thought it was for) but agree not really pre watershed material.

Sorry, can't view the ad with sound. What is it an ad for?

BlueSkySunnyDay · 13/06/2013 00:22

They are wireless speakers by Dr Dre, if you google image you can see what they look like. I am blatantly not his target market Grin

Advert is basically like a dodgy RnB video.

Startail · 13/06/2013 00:26

If a child gets the joke, they already know enough about sex not to be corrupted by it.

My 15y DD1 would fall about laughing, my 12 y DD2 would think what the fuck? and might look faintly embarrassed.

He wasn't worried, I thought then how he was much more confident (and knowledgeable) than I was at that age. I used to be mortified by the (very loud) tampon adverts on radio Luxembourg.

fuckingscabies · 13/06/2013 00:47

If you google 'portable speakers' you'll see these are a better looking version of what's already available. It doesn't look any more like a 'sex aid' then a cucumber IMO

The uncensored video is unbelievable though!

hamilton75 · 13/06/2013 08:58

Complaint sent. Even hubby thought it was ridiculous.

RoooneyMara · 13/06/2013 09:22

Well I didn't understand any of that. Confused

BlueSkySunnyDay · 13/06/2013 15:14

oh please its deliberately made to look like a sex toy in the advert - I think she even strokes it at one point.

I agree the speakers themselves, when looked at on google image are just sex toy shaped

I'm not complaining but it is a bit pathetic.
