I'm probably a bit out of date but just seen this. WTF?

Fucking horrid advert. Also the super drug/boots one where she is clearly supposed to be waxing her bits.

What people do with their body hair is up to them, but I don't want to see this while I'm eating my dinner!

I don't see the issue.
Many women choose to do this and use this type of language.

It seems to be a five year old Australian ad (judging by ), dusted off for our World Cup enjoyment.
I hate it, but actually think it's less grim than the current "beach ready"/ "down there" one.
(And the one with Louise Redknapp talking about having a nice cup of tea in the garden, but somehow it's about shaving = me-time? That's just baffling.)

Does a man think of shaving his face as "me" time. I bet not.

Ive never done my bikini line as I don't wear one and never go to the beach.

And these bikini body diet plans that crop up at this time of year also piss me off royally.


Also Louise mentions having a demanding husband in the ad

Driving home the point that women are supposed to accommodate male demands while making sure our bits are smooth.

I feel like pouring a load of Rogain all over my fanjo, plaiting the results and posting them to Wilkinson

All of those ads drive around the bend. They really wind me up!
