Is it just me or does anyone else find that advert in bad taste. I think is kinda spooky too.

[Ethel]

What advert?

[Ethel]

Aha! I have found it:

It is to raise money for charity.

"Monkhouse's widow Jackie said it was a great honour for her husband, who died in 2003 aged 75, to feature in the ad, which coincides with Male Cancer Awareness Month.

"Bob would love this ad," she told The Sun. "It's funny but has a serious message about the threat of prostate cancer."


I think it's excellent and in a very good cause.

I don't understand why it's "in bad taste"

His wife approves and says that Bob would have loved it. I think it's a marvelous piece of film - very cleverly done with a serious message.

It's got us talking about it !!

[nutgoneflake]

Really clever! If that doesn't get the message across, then...

[Baby Jane]

Well I jumped the gun a bit. I didnt realise it was for cancer and his wife agreed. I only caught a couple of seconds of it and it baffled me,so thanks for putting me right. Just shows you shouldnt judge a book by its cover eh? I stand admonished and now I feel ashamed.

mmm, even though it's for a good cause - I'm in two minds about it

i think its a brill ad it will get men thinking about there health and if they find any thing they will go to the doctors and get it sorted before its to late good on them
