Not best pleased, Virgin Records

So there I was, feeling all full of festive cheer. Done all my X-mas shopping (yes.. all of it - I WIN at X-mas), and wrapping pressies. Whilst doing this I was absent-mindedly watching TV until I popped out to the pub, and there was an advert for a CD compilation of decent hair-metal (we're talking Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Van Halen, Thunder and ( Read more... )

Wow.. an advert that's both ageist and sexist! :rolleyes:

At least it's not that stupid frigging gilette fusion advert where the 'kid' shows his dad how to use a mobile phone, a computer and then a RAZOR.

That's moronic.

I thought they were a gay couple.... that explains a lot.

Yes, that's the one.

I am with you. I was thinking "oh cool" with a nostalgic chuckle at all the hair, until the last bit! A similar rant and gasps of shock horror were had at Rincewind Towers I can assure you. Buy it for Mum usually consists of BoyZone, Westlife or Dirty Bloody Dancing!!

I can just imagine the look on your face.

Somewhat akin to a slapped arse, I can assure you. :s

Yep - both jen_ren and I saw it last night and were thinking, cool ...

Then, BAM, you're old and sad. :(

Least we all reacted that way. Seems quiet a few expel were insulted by that advert.

By the way, orphiel and I were at Bluewater at the weekend, and there was a Guitar Hero II roadshow, giving away prizes and stuff. I tell you, if we could've wished you down to Kent dude.... you could've totally sharked them and then cleaned up... the people playing it weren't fit to polish your boots. ;)

ah man! What were they giving away? Wonder if they'll do something similar up here at some point. I could always do with some free stuff. *grin*

There were T-shirts as far as the eye could see (think people got one for just having a go), and something about a "cherry" guitar - not entirely sure.

Ooh, we're all so old! =(

I know. It breaks my heart. Soon to be followed by my hip, at this rate.
