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.

Its a shít ad, who cares ?

10-07-2013 04:03PM

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

It's essentially cream soda. Quite nice with Morgans actually.

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.'

People that read the daily mail are a threat to humanities very survival.

I suppose if you swap the genders and it's creepy then it's a creepy ad.

I Heart Internet · 10-07-2013 04:21PM

Then there's this one.

EDIT: Can anyone see this video? 1,150 posts and I still can't do it.

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.
