    Be sure to listen to plenty of Riot Grrl albums while you're there, and not bother washing yourself.

    Loved Babes In Toyland and Hole when I was 15. Thought the rest of them were too horrid though. :pac:

    I always loved the story of what L7 did when they were supporting Nirvana at Reading in 1992.

    I think Donal is constructing an alibi and building up to knocking off his missus.

    Made me feel ill but sure whatever floats your boat!

    Well, I'm not saying I wanted to catch it, but, I love it when people stick it to the man......literally!

    The people who work in advertising are either ****ing stupid or evil.

    There is no middle ground.

    None.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,490 ✭✭✭Almaviva


    Its the feminist takeover. If women were ridiculed in the same way the ad would be banned.


    Same thing from VHI : woman goes to hospital to do womanly stuff like having tiny babies.
    Husband's efforts at unsupervised housework are to sweep the walls, wave the frying pan in the air, and then burn it because he doesnt understand you have to put food in it when its on the cooker. Scandalous I tells ya.

    Evil. Indochina was where a lot of French rubber came from to make their tyres, ergo, the French interest in Indochina.
    In one Michelin plantation the workers were treated so badly that 12,000 out of 45,000 died between 1917 and 1944.

    The Michelin man looks cuddly but he's spattered in blood.

    That's because it's all clearly her job.

    The ad was "created" to appeal to women; it's a stupid ad; you can draw your own conclusions.
