It would appear that sp1814's question has been closed for some reason, hence "Is this advert sexist2"?

Blimey, 8 complaints and the advert is under review.

I knew that minority groups in this country have a huge sway, but this is getting ridiculous.

They said that the advert was demeaning to women, what about countless of other adverts that are demeaning towards men?

One instance is where a man and his wife are at the checkout of a store, and the wife tells her husband that he had forgotten a certain item, after he scuttles off to fetch the said item, the wife turns to the checkout girl and says "what are they like eh?"

I can't bring to mind any particular one, but we have all seen those situations in an advert where a man has been put in an embarrassing situation, naked with just his hands, towel, or some other item, to hide his embarrassment, all to the amusement of some woman.

When this originally hit the news 6 people had complained out of 60 million people living in the country. If that small a minority can get something banned then there'll be a few "celebrities" disappearing off the screen pretty soon.
