Irn-Bruuuuubbies

I Heart Internet

An Irn-Bru advert showing a curvaceous mother discussing her cleavage with her horrified teenage son has been deemed acceptable by the advertising watchdog despite 176 complaints.
The television ad features buxom actress Marianne Adams, 43, in a tightly-fitting pink cardigan telling her son: 'New push-up bra. Amazing eh?' as his friends ogle her breasts.

But the son's shock and embarrassment faded as he sipped Irn-Bru and he responds: 'Looking good mum.'

Two questions:

Do you think the advert is "irresponsibly" or just great big bags of fun?
Can you get Irn-Bru in Ireland?

Well no, in fairness. The Daily Mail is just reporting the news that it wasn't banned (or whatever) and they helpfully provided the link.

Harmless titilation if you ask me.

Yes, you can get Irn-Bru here. It's great, tastes kinda like bubblegum.

No such thing as sugary goodness. Work of the devil is fizzy pop.

Looks like a handful of people from suburbia uk wrote some 'strongly worded letters of complaint.'

What exactly is the difference? Either way, you're contribution to a stready decrease in the collective human brain pool.

And I wouldn't know - I try to avoid financing anybody who's business plan is to use tragedy, sexism, mysogny, sensationalism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, sexism, arachnophobia etc., for financial gain.

Irn-Bru are famous for doing risky ads, and they're usually hilarious. I'm scottish so have the stuff coursing through my veins.

Interesting facts I like about Irn-Bru: It dates back to 1901, just 15 years after the birth of Coca-Cola.
Protests were held outside the main Glasgow Mcdonald's branch when it was first opened for not serving Irn-Bru. Now they serve it

Wasn't Justin found guilty of some pretty creepy behaviour?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19869630

On screen he seems like a lovely guy but then.......

The jury heard Collins subjected the video games public relations worker, from Pirton near Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, to sustained emotional and domestic abuse during their seven-month relationship.

The court was told that Collins made her sleep facing him, throw away DVDs because they featured actors she found attractive and made death threats against her.

The advert is as good an advertisement for incest as any.
