Ingram85 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Its genius but so so bloody wrong lol White knights and soccer moms will be crying themselves into a frenzy over it I bet. It’s a bit on the nose in the age of faux offence but I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as neither of you has picked up the mantle, here's the reaction (which so far is disappointing). Will check back on it later to see if it gathers pace/outrage.

Example comment Quote Yeah I think it’s shit. Pornified society where male dominance over women is touted as the norm. **** off bullshit patriarchal bollocks. The internet is reverberating with millions of women coming forwards with #metoo and no wonder. Yeah this is ‘just a joke’ but an image like this comes from a toxic set of ideas Calm down dear!

Ingram85 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’d love a company that when questioned why they did something perceived as offensive said “Because we thought it was funny, it’s just an advert, if you don’t like it tough, it’s nothing personal”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, love to see it! Too often a company will just back down and apologise straight away. Love to a response of: "It offends you? Tough!

mjmooney Posted December 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think it's pathetic, unfunny, and exactly what you'd expect from a pound shop and their customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, if somebody unconnected with the company had made those as internet memes, I'd think nothing of it. But for a national retailer it's pretty disgraceful.

But it's really them that's stereotyping their own clientele more than I am, in a rather pathetic (imo) attempt to be 'laddish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
