[Cricket] Offensive TV Ad

[GT49er]

If one person is offended then THEY must shirley be banned , only right yes

Corrected for you................

Classic Crodo

Crown have achieved their purpose. People are talking about it. That's what adverts are for, whether annoying, irritating or funny.

I only look at these threads to see if you have commented on him fishing again he’s going to need a bigger net soon.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Some company actually got paid to come up with that dross?

Dross or gloss?

 

[GT49er]

Geez, there are some snowflakes around! Is Jenny Eclair trying for a comeback to revive her flagging career or someting?

The one thing I find really disgusting and offensive about this is that the Darwen-based paint firm felt it had to apologise ..........................

............or did they? Apparantly, according to the BBC, the Darwen-based paint firm said it appreciated "people have differing views on humour". - no apolgy there, so good for the said Darwen based paint firm!

Maybe it was the BBC's unwelcome but overbearing minority woke collective who thought it a great idea to label it as an apology: their words -
"Apologising for it, the Darwen-based paint firm said it appreciated "people have differing views on humour". It doesn't look like an apology to me - and as far as I'm concerned that's just fine, and all's well with the world (for a few nanoseconds in one instance anyway!

Silly.

Good ad. Creative, and people will remember it.

This.

"Dave's just hoping that it's his"

"We appreciate that people have differing views and tastes in humour and, whilst the advert has been broadly well received, we apologise if any of the lyrics have caused offence to anyone – this was certainly not our intention.”

Not the advert. Just the attempt at humour. Of course it is purely a guess on my part. For all I know, the ad could have been commissioned by the group owners in Copenhagen.

But all you have heard about Burnley, just up the road from Accrington, Darwen, is unfortunately, true. There are exceptions of course, but not many.
This is the land where someone in Haslingden hadn't made his wife even a cup of tea in 27 years of marriage. And he was proud of it. Inclusion, diversity, equality and 'remain' are things that happen down south.

Personally I find the creepy mum-shaming Birds Eye Green Cuisine ad much more offensive, or at least a simpering 3/10 as opposed to a 0/10 for the Crown Paints ad

I see you have conveniently edited out the apology. Smooth.

 

[GT49er]

Actuall, I think we need MORE ads that offend the peiople offended by this one! Bring 'em on, and let's all laugh at the ones clutching their pearls and pontificating on social media!

This one makes me cringe every time.

Apparently so.

Apropos of nothing, I once saw you in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I’m offended that you are offended

Expect to hear from the police.

 

[crodonilson]

Mrs Crodo said she's confident the baby's Dave's and we should all just be happy there's a baby on the way.

 

[Gabbafella]

I'm sure Crown will just gloss over it.

 

[GT49er]

"We appreciate that people have differing views and tastes in humour and, whilst the advert has been broadly well received, we apologise if any of the lyrics have caused offence to anyone – this was certainly not our intention.”

OK. Shame about the last bit, in that case!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm sure Crown will just gloss over it.

I second that emulsion

 

[Wardy's twin]

Wardy’s twin, it was the best I could come up with.

i did understate a bit ... i laughed at the time.

 

[A1X]

Finally saw the advert tonight. It wasn’t offensive but it was weird, like someone on TV doing a mother-in-law joke, it’s all a bit 1970s humour.

 

[Eeyore]

I'm offended. And I haven't seen it. I don't want to watch it in case I don't find it offensive. In which case I'll have to re-take my course on offensiveness.
