    How much power do we have here? I mean if enough people complain about Mcdonalds ads could we get them banned from TV?

    Why would you want a Macdonalds as banned though. Do Macdonalds ads portray 1/2 the population as loudmouth vulgar thickos?

    you mean someone who talks slightly louder than normal?

    You seem to have left off the speaking in a crass and vulgar manner.

    That ad is a huge concern. Lol. Nothing wrong with the ad at all. The absolute state of the people giving out about this ad. Grow up will ye.

    Women are portrayed in the ad as tasteless loudmouth idiots. You have no objection to that?

    That didn't bother me one bit.

    You and your dad aren’t uncomfortable with women being depicted as shouty thickos with no class or dignity. That’s fine. Own it girl.

    There’s no need to be so disingenuous. They weren’t portrayed as discussing anything.

    Vagina, menstrual bleeding, tampon, put it into your Vagina, get it up there, blood, period, sanitary, discomfort, bleed.

    Do these words cause you to squirm and be uncomfortable ?

    If so YOU have a problem, not everyone else.

    Whatever happened to discreet :o I hardly ever look at ads, just overhear them. And that shít sounded like a woman seizing the initiative in some hardcore geordie porn

    They weren’t? It was easily demonstrated with the animation that was shown during the advert without all the rest of the nonsense portraying women as though they’re a bunch of simpletons.

    I see. I’m trying to oppress my own sex when I say, like many of the rest of us, that I don’t want women portrayed as vulgar crass shouty oafs on the tv.
    It’s people like you that caused the advertising executives (who are mostly men btw) to think that that’s how women actually want to be depicted.
    You be a loudmouth harpie if you want, that’s your right. But clearly that’s not how most women see themselves.

    Portrayed as really obnoxious. That's my biggest concern.

    Showing that kind of behaviour on TV either in adverts or programming needs to stop as it just glorifies it.

    If my kids thought they could speak like that about any topic, they would be severely punished

    If it was a nasal stick and it said “get it up there lads” there’d be outrage. And rightly so

    As I said in my first comment the content was fine.

    They could have been discussing the weather, the manner in which they were discussing it was vulgar, crass cheap and nasty.

    None of those words cause anyone any discomfort.
    An ad portraying women as a bunch of laughing hyenas aping a bunch of men on a building site is very uncomfortable however.
    Maybe not for you but for enough of viewers that the ad has been banned.

    FFS. I really thought Ireland had moved past this type of "I'm offended" rubbish. There is a pandemic with 700k dead and people are offended by a tampax advert? Cop the f**k on and get over yourself.

    I can’t be concerned for the pandemic and offended by a horrible depiction of women at the same time? Why not?

    Oh FFS. Seems we’re back to the prudish old days of a bygone Ireland.

    Also it’ll be happily running on loads of U.K. channels that we all have anyway.

    Well done the rosary bead clutchers - making Ireland look like a backwater again!

    I don’t really like those complaints driven processes we have for broadcasting regulation. They’re easily driven to decisions by a few crackpots and now with social media that can easily be generated by a little bubble of outrage.

    Periods, tampons and vaginas are hardly something to be offended by in 2020. It’s just practical reality.

    A bit loud? Loud stupid vulgar crass thick. I’m not having it. The advertising standards aren’t having it either. Women 1 ad execs 0. Great result.

    Where has the idea that the two women in the ad are “trampy” come from?

    Yes all us women who have been fighting for equality and to be treated with respect and dignity fully appreciate being portrayed as scumbags on tv
