I dont get it ,its just humour :D

I'm confused.
American TV ads tend to be tamer than England.
Significantly tamer than Germany or France.

This ad isn't even eyebrow raising.
Maybe the AbFab girls doing the "overeating" gesture.

What the Monkey!

Yep, it's sexist all right, that Philip Glennister bloke is in it!

Now had Keeley Hawes been in it instead of doing Boots No.7 adverts then it would be perfectly acceptable!

Some saddo feminists probably got all outraged at the thought of a man having carnal thoughts over a scantily clad woman.

Seems to me that theyre jealous because no man would ever want to leer over them.

This country is going down faster than gordon browns popularity rating.

Seen this loads of times and never seen an issue. Is it because ony the girls are in angel outfits?!! Like has been said by many over the last few years, why are the minority PC brigade ruling the majority of us who still retain common sense and humour, ..:shake:

From one of the broadsheets today.

Life on Mars actor Philip Glenister's spot in Marks & Spencer's Christmas TV campaign has been accused of being sexist toward women.

In the £10m ad campaign, which broke last week, Glenister is seen propping up the bar at the end of the ad, after a series of scenes that feature celebrities, including Twiggy, Myleene Klass and Stephen Fry, talking about the lovely things that make Christmas a special time.

"Oh come on, it's Christmas," he says. "That girl prancing around in her underwear." The ad ends with M&S's regular lingerie model, Noemie Lenoir, doing twirls in a forest while scantily clad.

The Advertising Standards Authority has received six complaints that Glenister's Gene Hunt-esque turn is offensive and demeaning to women. The ASA said it will consider the complaints and then make a decision on whether to launch a formal investigation.

MMMmm?..What are the chance of those six people being employed by M&S rivals!!?

The current estimated UK population is 61,126,832.
That makes 6 against 61,126,824.
IF we do live in a democracy that should be the end of it :finger:. I bet it won't be :crazy::cryin::wall:.

61,126,832 - 61,126,824 = 8

did the other 2 abstain? :D


i think ppl read things into stuff when they want to. its and advert its not about sexism or exploitism(well not too much) its about making us buy stuff that we dont know that we want yet.
its the 6 plaintiffs that need examining to see why they found it offensive and the rest of us didnt and they could always turn over when the ad comes on!!

I think the underwear girl is doing a damn fine job there :arf:

:

I didn't think we should include Mr Glenister and Ms Model (is that PC enough?) as they are deeply involved in this serious crime :crazy:.
Wondered who would be first to spot it :tup:.
Would getting a sum wrong be considered numberist?

its ridicules..

it only takes a VERY small number of complaints to get an AD removed off the telly, yet thousands of people can complain over a 'political decision' , and the democratically elected Members of parliament (who's wages we pay) will ignore us!
