Have You Seen The Anti Gay Advert By Money Dot Uk?

[dance2trance]

This advert sneers at gays and women on the grounds it is FUNNY to laugh at them because they have no value! I thought tis anti gay ant women attitude was illegal?

[Canary42]

No, I haven't seen it.

Is it online, if so can you please provide a link.

Who are - Money Dot UK?

[tonyav]

Do you mean the Money Supermarket ?.

[andy-hughes]

Oh, I think you mean the one where two sets of men and women dressed in caricature costumes flaunt and prance about in an obviously OTT fashion in order to promote the product.

Point one, it's not 'sneering' at anyone, and point two, it's designed to get people talking about the product - so it's working!

[Mamyalynne]

Really??

Honestly??


Bless my soul, I give up.

[naomi24]

If it's the one where men prance about in shorts and high heels, I have no idea what it's advertising. To describe it as crass is kind.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - I think it is doing its job - which is, as I said, to get people to talk about the advert, and thus the product.

I do think dance2trance is taking it more seriously than it was intended.

Which ad is it?

[andy-hughes]

[naomi24]

No point talking to me about it. My attention span for such rubbish doesn't extend to wanting to know what it's advertising.

[237SJ]

Thanks. I hadn't seen the one with the fat woman but I did laugh at the builders and blokes in shorts with padded backsides and high heels

divebuddy - //Andy. I see advertising is something else that you are not really up on. The OP couldn't remember the "product", just the Ad. If the punters don't remember the "product", the ad has failed. Simples. //

The OP didn't need to remember the product - the thread has highlighted it - complete with video clip - so the ad has done it's job, as I said it did.

[naomi24]

One thread on the AnswerBank has highlighted it for around half a dozen people. I would suggest not money well spent on very expensive advertising!

[naomi24]

^Precisely.

[237SJ]

I would have thought plenty of people would remember that it is for Money Supermarket - I certainly did after I saw the ad. Do you not remember Sharon Osbourne with her little dog looking at the denim short wearing, high heeled man when she said "Darling, you're SO moneysupermarket

[Mamyalynne]

I'm amazed that anyone knew what the OP referred to, the ads (which have been running for some time now) are no more anti gay or anti women than I am.
