He'll probably claim that righteously executing a heretic does not count as murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 It's an advert that's been broadcast on national media, and the story is that they've found *gasp* dozens of people complaining on Twitter. It's a non story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication that the women in the advert is a slag and lying to the husband about the kid being his? It's not a good reason to complain, but I don't think it takes Poirot to read a couple of their comments and see what their problem is It's a classic example of a media hack scouring social media trying to manufacture a story, IMO. It's a crap advert and the gag is a bit shit, I put it in the same bucket as "this cleaning product is so good, even a thicko lazy dad can use it" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) It doesn’t piss me off but that bit about the chap hoping the kid is his and the implication that the woman has slept around, it’s all so unnecessary for an advert about paint lol. The one that does get my blood boiling is the birds eye plant dippers with the girl chastising her mom about being afraid of change, ungrateful little word removed, I know she’s not real and is an animation but she needs to **** off.

Obviously crown has achieved what it set out to get people talking. I cant believe people are offended over it though. Jesus christ how many films from the 90s downwards are they going to get offended at if this offends them.

Havent seen that one. Why cant they just do adverts about the actual products instead of just having all this silly unnecessary messages in them?

My Dad always used to laugh at elaborate TV beer adverts - he thought they just just say something like: "Drink Bloggs's Bitter - it makes you pissed".
