    This morning shortly after 8am this ad came on the radio, I was driving my 12 year old daughter to school.

    Can’t see the rationale for ads like this on the radio never mind the time they’re broadcast at.

    Don't see the issue in the evening time after 9 or so but ridiculous having them on that hour of the morning.

    Sounds like it has had an effect. It’s stuck with people and now it’s being discussed.

    The add is man hating - to be honest, it takes two to tango.

    Among people old enough to be listening to broadcast radio? Probably.

    I heard it, can’t remember any mention of gender? Was there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,266 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Weird funereal tone of it.

    Maybe if we grew up as a country and realised it's not going away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,641 ✭✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    there was a line that went something like 'maybe you're wife won't mind, maybe she'll believe you only wanted the "girlfriend experience"...'



    now, I don't know, but I don't think id be using that line if i was trying to explain it to the wife

    Yes.
    Definitely aimed at male gender.
    Can't find a clip of it online maybe someone else can.

    Bless me father for I have sinned

    I'll assume you didn't let her listen to the news then?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Probably because it was made by a group of auld ones who never had sex.

    Senator Ronan Mullen's charity. The guy is up for Seanad election soon, it won't do any harm to remember he campaigned for lenghtly prison sentences for prostitutes and against supports that may help them get out of prostitution.

    These lot may couch it in PC language and may even make it sound like men bashing but they are really just women haters using the topic as a way of furthering their Victorian style targeting of harlots partaking in unmarried sex.

    Let's not forget that Ruhama are the modern face of the Magdalene sisters, this is just the PR front for their nasty agenda aimed at women they see as inferior to their catholic ideals, can't lock them in laundries and use them as slaves anymore but they have not given up the holy war.

    Despite it being sold as being protection for vulnerable women the anti-prostitution legislation they pushed through has already seen several sex workers imprisoned in a country where you can get a slap on the wrist for throwing acid in someone's face.

    I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the slimy little **** said this:
    “If there was abortion on demand [Savita Halappanavar] wouldn’t have been in the hospital because she wouldn’t have been pregnant and she wouldn’t have been having a miscarriage.”

    hey kids im off to court to get done for banging hookers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,309 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    It's funny when you think about it because these Anti Prostitution ads are not gonna stop a thing. If someone wants to pay for it then they are gonna pay for it. These ads would only remind people of using a brasser :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,616 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    They should have another advert aimed at women who use prostitutes. its only fair.

    Do you have a driving ban, amoungst some other convections, OP?

    🙈🙉🙊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 570 ✭✭✭Jane98


    I heard it on Newstalk (I think) this morning just after 8am. I too think its a totally inappropriate time to air such an ad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,134 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    It also states that it's a lie to believe that women do this by choice. The ad should be banned for not being truthful.

    From their website:

    Every day, all across the island of Ireland, up to 1000 vulnerable woman are trafficked and forced into prostitution

    So it could be 1 or 1000.
