Usually starts with them being best friends when kids and then becoming lesbians around 25, possibly growing old together. Unfortunately, no adverts of purchasing an estate car, them both getting in the back nekid, an getting it on, as you may have thought. Hows that new role at Saatchi & Saatchi?

Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 19, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 Of course they're marketing ploys, that's what adverts are. Gay, trans, non-white, etc. people spend money, same as everybody else. Of course, they'll have done their market research to see what the trade-off is. If they thought they'd end up with a net loss of sales due to losing the bigot market, they probably wouldn't do it. But it would seem that most of the great British buying public are not bothered by such things. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Today my cat brought a live pigeon in to the house through the upstairs window, then sat back and just watched me try to catch it.

If someone has the belief that calling yourself non binary is bollocks, please just accept it's there opinion, weather right or wrong. Anyway, we are off topic on here. Your post count is 18.6k, how many before it becomes a lot of comments so we can judge your opinion? So we should accept your opinion without comment. You know how a discussion works? Your idea of how a forum works pisses me off, so we’re right back on topic. I also expect you not to reply if you're following your own guidance, just suck it up like everyone is supposed to do with your posts You opinion is wrong, demonstrably and scientifically so no, I'm not going to just respect it. It’s wrong PS it’s their and whether. And that pisses me off too 16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 If I ever get upset by the race, gender or sexuality of the people some company uses in their adverts, somebody please walk me in to my garden and put a bullet in the back of my head.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted June 20, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2023 I also hate that advert with two gay men in. Not because it has two gay men in. But because of other reasons. Which I didn't mention, but I did mention the two gay men. Because they're definitely not the problem.

Honest I could kind of understand mentioning the gay men as a differentiator between other Lotto adverts - like it isn't the gay men aspect which "pisses him off", but that's a reference point to the advert. But then he says the bold bit... 19 hours ago, foreveryoung said: That new Lotto advert with the 2 gay men is the most pathetic example of a marketing company trying to get with the times I have seen on tv. It's nearly as bad as the last one, where the guy chases his lottery ticket, only for it to be caught by some non binary, geezer, girl, chap! ...so, ah yeah, it's purely because they're gay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2023 Vaguely related to advertising I suppose. I recently bought a beer selection set for a mate’s 40th. Naturally I subsequently receive e-mails with various offers and promotions. I don’t mind these, there might something I’m interested in, not likely, but still. Bloody well get sent this this afternoon - A limited edition Jurgen Klopp glass for ****’s sake. I am now unsubscribed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
