M&S Sexist Christmas Ad!
 
I expected this the first time i saw the ad :p pre-watershed UNDERWEAR! :smt022

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8366133.stm

I could just picture the PC brigade tutting and getting out their notepads ready to complain in writing.

What did you guys think when you saw it? :p

Only ugly women think beauty pageants are sexist.

Who wants to bet what the complainants looked like?

So did people complain when Phil Glenister said stuff in Life on Mars and in Ashes to Ashes? No! i think its comical the way he says it

Hah, it's abit of humour it's playing on a character from the show as holdup stated. Can't even imagine how people get wound up about that... o wait you can't speak now without offending someone i almost forgot .... yawn!

It's complete b*****ks! The only reason I pay any attention to the ad is for the lass in the sexy underwear, she's well fit!

Re: M&S Sexist Christmas Ad!
 
ffs it's an advert...

Maybe people who shop at M&S don't know who Phil Glenister is ?
Still, nice bird in bra and knickers BTW.

Mind you they have to put that into perspective as well. 8 complaints from probably 100's of thousands of people that have seen it!!!

Re: M&S Sexist Christmas Ad!
 
Just imagine if 8 people on here complained about something.
Would we make the BBC headlines?
No, I thought not.

Even my missus thinks she looks attractive. (No Noemie Lenoir, not the missus) Nothing wrong with a bit of tottie prancing about in her keks

8 complaints? I wonder how many people have actually seen it?


The irony is that M&S are getting skip loads of extra advertising because of the minimal 'controversy'. Whats the betting this isn't the only forum with a similar topic?

I don't think they'll be that bothered by the complaints.

Where will you be shopping this Crimbo? ;)

yeah but it only takes like 3 complaints and they start getting assy about it

Bluepete 20-11-09 08:42 AM

Re: M&S Sexist Christmas Ad!
 
But it's complaints that make the headlines, just like bad news. I've been in my job since early 1998. Think how many people I've helped in that time, how many crims I've locked up etc.

However, nothing is ever said until someone makes a complaint!

I have had eleven complaints in my whole career, and each time, it's as if I walked into their house on Christmas Day and squatted a turd out on their kids! And that's how the job sees it! No recognition for a good job well done, only mither when the complaint comes in.

Brits love to complain, it's a national pass-time and it makes the news because loads of people love to moan.

Now I'll stop moaning and... oh, wait,

I'll get me coat.

Pete ;)

It is just a bunch of miserable uglers complaining out of sheer jealousy. I hope M&S shows them what's what by making a 30 minute post-watershed ad of Noemie and Myleene going at each other with a variety of dildos and an industrial sized jar of lube.

I'm going to write and complain that this year they haven't featured Take That in the ad - I want to see Howard in his pants.
