I suppose it had to happen..Though my reaction is one of disappointment...Yep I can be sexist too. ;)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Ahhh more PC b****cks then. :rolleyes:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Well, that's my television career up in smoke then :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I wonder now if lots of sexy female fluffers/eye candy are going to have to get real jobs now? :) I presume it will work both ways. I can't believe you can be too attractive for TV now..

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Hammer house of horrors stopped years ago didnt it?

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Yeah, just before Gary_580 morphed into the evil that is Wicked_and_Crazy :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

At least some good came from it then ;) :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

You know I think that they overlooked summat..

Surely the message is now that drinking this drink will enable you to get so blotto you could end up taking this home.

A very good anti drinking propoganda if I ever saw one.

So what's left that we need protecting from? :)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Eh? If the guy is attractive, he is going to pull wether alcohol is available or not. Like coggy says, if the guy is ugly and manages to pull then probably you have the beer goggles effect happening.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Still on the plus side, that big new TV and film studio they're building in Wales is sure to be ideally located to serve the drinks advertising industry, with all the local, er 'character' actors that will now be required (gulp, is Russ watching ;) :D )

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

There has been some trouble with that though - apparently, there's a lot of leeks :disturbd:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I would have thought it would be taking off now :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Ah, you noticed the bit about balding and paunchy then, did you :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I find this ruling mind boggling.......why would anyone want to watch an ad with ugly men in it? :disturbd:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

It was the first thought I had....but then who would watch an ad with atractive young ladies in it...

Now if they had a fat ugly woman drinking the drink and pulling a fit handsome young man then maybe I'd buy that product. ;)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I've got to be honest - as soon as I saw it was advertising Lambrini, I wouldn't give a monkeys who they had in there :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Well I'd only want to watch a Goyaesque beauty meself....... (is there a suck up smiley?! :) )

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I think it's just next to this one -> :sick:

;)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

For the advertising to reflect the reality surely it should feature a brood of 14 year old girls wretching down the local park?

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Frankly I'd hate to be making a living in television ads these days...There are so many ways to offend overtly and even when not trying to offend.. :erm:

The road to hell....ecetera,ecetera,ecetera.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Well, you were the Goyaesque beauty to whom I was referring so I think you've found the right one there :)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Hmmm, never been referred to as 'Goyaesque' before. Normally there's a reference to Picasso or Dali, but never Goya ;)

Having said that, after drinking Lambrini, I'd probably look like my face was upside-down whilst trying to suck my cheeks back up my throat, so it's all good :)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Nice catch... :D

Well I hadn't really finished the description. Goyaesque in torso, Dali in face, Picasso in mind.

The Russ look? :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Believe me, that's probably the best combination I could hope for :disturbd:



Not even I'm stupid enough to comment on that one :D
















But I was thinking the same thing ;)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

In order to satisfy the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act I have edited your last post to assist the visually impaired (as opposed to the follicaly impaired)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Hey, I'll be alright - Russ knows I'm both visually and follically impaired :D

Couple that with the fact that I'm an idiot, and I'm sure I'll get away with it.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Fair point. Gulp, with my good looks, luxuriously full head of hair, piercing insight and superior intellect, I could be in trouble though. :Yikes:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Only from the Woefully Misinformed About Your Appearance Police :p:

Anyway, didn't I hear that you were actually forbidden by law to leave the house without a bag on your head?



Hey, that's it! Your full name! It's obviously Andy Lookslikejohnmerrick :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ahh you both get this.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Im glad they are scrapping it. Same goes with women too. I find it stupid using sex to sell products. It is another way to try and tempt us and I will not fall for it. If I want to see a nice girl, I'l see my girlfriend.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

But what do the rest of us do? I'm sure you don't want to share your girlfriend, so we're stuck :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Are you saying Mrs Nug doesn't look nice? :shocked:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

You're not getting me with that one - Mrs Nug is much more than just nice. She's the most beautiful girl I know, so there :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I'm glad to hear it! :) But does she know you want someone else to share their girlfriend with you? You're a moral vacuum Mr. Nug :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Ok Kenwood...leave Nugfart alone...As least he's honest about his appearance. :tu:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

If not about many many many many other things, eh Nugfart :) :waving:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I think you'll find that I wanted Halcyon to share his girlfriend with all of us :D


Har har! See andy, Coggy's right. Halcyons girlfriend wouldn't look twice at me, 'cos I'm a right minger...

Oh, hang on...


:disturbd:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Well actually I was being hypothetical if thats the right word, as Im currently single at the moment, but thats a long long story, and hopefully won't be for too long, but thats for another topic, another day.

I just cant stand adverts. Its tempting you to buy and I certainly will not buy these products promoted in this way. You may have heard my views on the herbal essence shampoo adverts and those are IMO plain silly.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I think Nug is good looking...am I looking at the wrong picture?

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

... and they don't work ... Just ask the follicly challenged Nugfart. :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Now,now Nemmy that's enough! :nono:

Get back to a hazlenut in every bite please... :tu:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

:blush:

You're probably looking at the wrong picture :)


Herbal Essence has nothing to do with my follicle challenge - it's having to deal with you on a daily basis that has me tearing my hair out :p:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

... and just what has squirrel **** got to do with it ?? :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

It's what you smell off, stinky :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Well at least I don't look like it, Mr Poo

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

I see! One rule for mods... :p:

So you going to start going for male modelling then Nemmy?

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Nope I checked and it says it is you Nug

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

How do you know? Every time you go near a mirror, your fug fogs it up!

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Be nice Coggy! You know they'll never make a man out of Ilikemenesis :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

You started it teach ..

Start .... what do you mean start ... :D

Ahhhhh, lets just invent a TV with advert bypass controls, then I'l be happy.
Im sure I heard of a channel that exists that just broadcasts adverts. !!! How exciting :zzz:

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

... and shouting for help won't work in cyberspace Coggy ... ;)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

My hair looks fine, 'cos I keep it in a box under the bed.

What's your excuse, Mr Whippy-head :p:


And on that note, may I wish you all a fantastic weekend - I'm off to get drunk :)

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Ewwww, shaving your legs to get some sort of thatch on top ..... that's low ...

I don't need any excuses, Mr Lanky

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

That's 'cos your folks made all the excuses when you were little :p: :D

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Now I'm getting cross...

The subject is not your feud but whether the drinks ad should have been changed...

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

You nick all my best ideas. Pest. :)

A good one to one and all too.

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

ok, Normal Service will now be resumed .....

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'
 

Was it? When? How long ago was that?

Re: Drinks adverts told 'no sexy men'

My times about up at the cyber cafe so until next time people.

Hopefully there will be some better adverts on TV when I get back to the UK. I can only hope.
