nuts - women, don't expect any help on a .....

[ems27]

am i the only person in the world to find the content of this ad highly offensive.

[NJOK]

Not really.

I think if you added up the number of current adverts that present men as stupid and incompetent and compare them with the number that do the same for women, you'd find that women come out of it looking very good.

In fact, the 'man being stupid' joke is pretty much the default gag for advertisers when they can't think of anything original.

[superswally]

no I dont either. The advert that I find offensive is the fabric softener one were the woman would rather stay at home all night sniffing her own clothes rather than go out. Whats that all about???

[chazza]

I agree with NJOK - i think the number of ads degrading men and making women look more superior is terrible (and I'm a woman)

If it was the other way about there would be an outcry!

[EMS86]

Its just a bit of harmless fun really

[B00]

I actually find 'em funny, the oldish one where she's trying to open a tin of paint with a screwdriver was hysterical.

[trakcab]

So adverts aren`t true to life then?,can`t Churchill the dog not really talk.

[dannydingbat]

Of course. I know stacks of women who go to Comet or Currys to buy a computer and discuss the relative merits of Centrino and RAM with a female sales assistant. Not!!

I love the smell of bras, burning in the morning.

Get a grip ladies, it's only a flippin' advert.

[naess]

its just a bab advert - nevermind the sexism or whatever.

Im more offended by the ones that show men in all kinds of states of undress (eg the wash powder one where the guy has his clothes nicked in a series of drive-bys) and its portrayed as amusing, whereas you know full well if it was a woman as the subject thered be cries of sexual harrassment, it being degrading, yada yada yada
