    Two questions about that silly seatbelt ad with the 3 lads in the car.

    Is that meant to appeal to young people?

    Do people still not wear seatbelts in 2020?

    Yeah it’s irritating beyond belief - he can’t dance for **** (look how out of sync he is with the dancing vid he projects on the wall), the music is absolutely **** and for 90% of the advert he’s dancing outside of the view of the camera so the gurning clapping family members at the end might have seen his fingers/right hand at best. It’s a no from me.

    You can genuinely inform someone of your opinion without forcing the view. That's sort of the crappy problem rn (in every media) they're about as subtle as a kick to the crotch.

    If the Johnny Depp adverts didn't make me gay, I'm pretty sure I'm safe. :pac:

    Its a stand against the discrimination this kid will likely face as he grows up.

    The LGBT crowd are very intolerant of gingers

    Thought it was more stubborn auld lads whose Morris Minor never had seatbelts and they're not going to start using them now.

    I like redheads (ladies), but there's a difference between a red head and a ginger.

    This kid is an unfortunate ginger.

    Those achingly woke Dove sponsorship idents in Sky - the smug **** who goes “black, disabled and a woman - there’s not many of me”! Oh f**k off!!!!

    They’re so patronising - there’s one who’s a police dog handler, obviously hard as nails but we’re meant to think she cares about how a body lotion makes her scar look better. I doubt she cares!!

    They annoy the ****e out of me.

    Unfortunately yes, 21% of deaths on our roads last year were due to drivers or passengers not wearing seatbelts. Madness I know but it still goes on.

    Watching Sky news last night with my elderly father, an advert came on for lovehoney.com. It came on(no pun intended) a few times in the course of 2 or 3 ad breaks.

    I am anything but a prude but it was a little bit too much for a TV advert.

    For anyone unfamiliar with the brand, it has nothing to do with honey or bees and definitely do not google it while at work or while connected to the work VPN.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I'm familiar with LoveHoney and their range of products, but I'm not entirely sure I'd like to sit though one of their ads while my elderly mother looks on.
    I'm still recovering from having to explain what 'vagjazzle' is to her after an episode of Tallaghtfornia

    Eek

    Sorry for the off topic but I not long ago has to explain Grindr to my 82 year old dad.

    He listened intently for a few minutes and went “well good for them!!!”

    What an advert to get stuck watching with the parents - eyes rolling in to heads and “O faces” galore! :D:D:D
