Too many exclamation marks make baby Jesus cry (and when they are used instead of question marks)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I always wondered how they were able to have 'not for girls' on the bar and ads and.. I never heard much stink

Dave!

How did they get away with that for so long?! I'm pretty sure they still do have it... But do feminists not go mad about it? Or whomever the authority is that regulates advertisements?

Come on like! I never understood that.

Maybe they should push the boundaries of marketing a bit further, and try this new slogan:



ps. Yorkies are yum

Bloody womens. What are the chances that there would be any complaints whatsoever if they had put 'Not for men' on a bar of Flyte or something? Not likely.

MooseJam

what do you mean how did they get away with it for so long, it's their product they can sell it to whoever they wish do you know like

FlutterinBantam

I suppose if people are stupid enough to take any heed of it ,they will do anything.

What a load of total tosh.

Are you allergic to exclamation marks ?

you said the same to me yesterday.

If you are here to correct spelling mistakes i don't think you will make much progress here.:D

regarding main post

I think their marketing department figured out finally that its more of a barrier than a selling statement

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

what I meant was.. I have never heard any stink about the bar...

also, I have a penis.

I went to my local super market today to buy a Yorkie and they didn't have any. I was hoping it was part of some feminist conspiracy, but I guess that's that theory out the window.

Edit: It was alright though; I got a golden crisp.

Nah, they'll almost have them, then they'll get pregnant and have to take 9 months off, putting them down the line for a promotion.
OR
They'll put their career in front of their family, the men above them won't find it hot and the glass ceiling will be upon them.

johnnyskeleton

They got away with it for so long because feminists were allowed to focus on the little, boring things (sufferage, jobs, having orgasims etc) while being refused the real cream of our civilization (beer, sports and yorkies).

Yorkie have shot themselves in the foot though, when they had the "not for girls" add men bought them for the manliness, and women bought them as a form of "anything you can do I can do better" protest. But now they've fallen between two stools and no one will buy them.

BKtje

i still buy em, they be tasty.

Archeron

I've never ever seen a woman eating a yorkie anyway. Last time I asked a lady what chocolate bar she wanted in the shop, she replied, "Oh, I dont know, something with bubbles, or coconut on top". There you have it, women like chocolate with coconut and bubbles, not big massive lumps of solid chocolate that you could hurt people with if you threw them hard enough.

Women or Yorkies??

DarkJager

I can't see why women would even be ALLOWED to complain about the yorkie slogan. Every single ****in song on the radio these days is some bitch singing about how she cheated on her man, or she hates her man, or her man is not good enough for her. If that was a guy singing it, the women would be up in arms but it seems they don't like double standards. Thank god we've got rap music, keeping them skanky hos in check

Wazdakka

Awwww man why did i have to start reading this thread...
I just realised that I havent had a yorkie in about 6 months....
And now I reallllly want one.
Dont think I'm going to make it till lunchtime.
I may have to come up a reason to leave the office.

Meh, I gave up on Yorkies when they stopped makin the Truck shaped easter egg box!

Remember when they changed the Isle of Man to the Isle of Woman for a weekend?

Freakin' wimmin.

What ever possessed the Isle of Man to change gender for a whole weekend? A weekend when the female gender definitely take control – even the beloved Triscilion changes it’s three masculine legs for three shapely high heeled ones!

Well it all started in February 2005 when the people behind Yorkie chocolate bar (definitely not for girls) came up with a female friendly pink version of their chocolate bar and asked the powers that be in the Isle of Man if they would change the name of the island for a weekend for the launch of their new product.

its allowed because in no way is saying "not for women" sexually derogatory

anyway there are many advertisements which are demeaning to males these days because men it seems can see the funny side of things and dont have to get their knickers in a twist not having knickers in the main probably helps there though

EdgarAllenPoo

I think they brought out the version with raisins in it a few years ago for the women.

If a woman is to complain, I'll just point them towards Shiela's wheels.

True, the amount of ads that get away with having scantily clad men there for the women to ogle, yet any ad with a scantily clad woman tends to get pulled.
Same regarding the things you'll hear women say in workplaces, yet a man saying the same gets scowls and tutting from the women along with a few complaints.

Would indicate that there is something lacking in the educations given to women since they don't know the meaning of the word "equality" or that "hypocrisy" is not a good thing.:rolleyes:

also the ads were the males seem to have a lack of any cognisant perception of whats going on until some "clever woman"(like they exist) comes along to show them the way.

But again we are males and such little things are irrelavant because in the end we still run the world.

Oh and with the spread of islam continuing it wont be long until we cant put the smack down back on them wimmins

Why can't they just make them for hitchhiker murdering truck drivers, like they used to. That'll scare off the ladyfolk.

Now yer just being sexist to truck drivers! Who here HASN'T had an urge to pick up some hitch hiking fool, lure them into their sound proof country lair, and then torture them and murder them with the knowledge that you are reasonable sure to get away with it? Who here can say they could turn their backs on the excitement and the rush it gives you?! The ultimate feeling of power, control, and invincibility! Eliminate! Annihilate! Terminate! Destroy!

Oh my....I need to go for a drive.....back in a few.

CathyMoran

Yes, there is nothing better than a Yorkie Bar and a nice cup of tea, slowly letting the chocolate slowly melt into your mouth...goes off to buy Yorkie.

Aoife9

I busted a lad's nose with a 10p freddo bar once. He claims I hit him, but my hand was a good foot away when I threw it.

Excellent idea, and jews only occupy 0.3% of the world's population thanks to someone with a moustache who died in 1945, but if they did that, Yorkie would never get another loan from a bank ever again. The jews are so small yet they own all the banks... This is scary!

So bring on the Yorkie against Jews slogan!

0.3%?
That's 180 million.
Hitler had 6 million jews killed (this number may come down when you factor in Catholics, Blacks, Gypsies and vasious other minorities in Germany at the time), which is just over 3% of the Jewish population.

In 1801 the population of Ireland was 8 million.
In 1901 it was 3 million.

Holocaust this, bitch.

MooseJam

I'm pretty sure that figure is way off, there are about 10 million jews in the world

Yikes, before it goes too far off topic, let's go back to Yorkie's roots:

i think the original poster of that number meant .03% so that would be 18 million jews.

Hmm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population#Total_population
I stand corrected.

Just over 13 million.

According to the JEW CONTROLLED wiki! You DO know they also control the Lizard Men, as well as Yore Ma, right?

My mother is in hell.
Jews do not believe in hell.
Therefore my mother is not controlled by Jews.

Also, we still win on percentages.
