Default M&S Sexist Christmas Ad!

I expected this the first time i saw the ad pre-watershed UNDERWEAR!

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?

Only ugly women think beauty pageants are sexist.

Who wants to bet what the complainants looked like?

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!

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!!!
