Ask me about music and the answer I shall give will be 100% correct. Ask me about anything else and I can only go on the popular information. If you have facts, share them. If not tehn my information comes from popular scorces andis right untill proven wrong.

In that case, can you please share these popular sources with us?

Clearly you are no longer allowed to eat yorkies -

Man up.

Its a great boots advert, funny and smart. Sure it could be seen as sexist, but 99% of things that are funny are discriminatory.
i bet you didnt complain about the Yorkie campaign.

Think yourself very lucky that your life is good enough, that you see this as complaint-worthy. (im guilty of this at times)

(ps the tone of this message is intended as light-hearted, dont mean to be rude)

These adverts have been annoying me for a while now, it's not just Boots that do it though there's plenty of companies happy to take a pop at men who wouldn't dare do the same to women.

ashatron - I don't see it as funny or smart, as there's no laughing, no comic moment and no comic timing. It's clearly there as a "women are superior" message which we're seeing more and more in the media.

YUp. Real men don’t complain about adverts and most certainly not about ones from Boots. Are you a fairy?

Real men don't have time to post 31,208 messages on a forum, they're too busy ordering their women back in the kitchen, smothering themselves in mustard and chewing spark plugs. :p

Or maybe, he's so manly his woman knows her place absolutely wihtout question and thus has created ample time to make those 31,208 posts.

Real men find time to do anything they please and get waited on hand and foot. What was that you said dear? :D

Carry on believing whatever random prejudices are popular against any particular group, if that's what you want to do. I learned long ago that it's almost always pointless trying to argue against that. You've had years of socialisation and consider popular prejudices to be the truth as your default position - how can I change that in minutes? Waste of my time writing it. Waste of your time reading it.

You're stating that all people of one sex are superior to all people of the other sex and that it is scientifically proven (because you heard it is). I'm not going to change your mind about that.

Since the dawn of time TV ads have made men out to be morons and women superior.

If it was the other way around there would be uproar and there would be women throwing themselves in front of horses up and down the country.

Women have to deal with the annoyance of menstruation and the pain of child birth, they can say what they like, we still cut the better deal.

women dont do much dirty stuff, meaning they dont get exposed to much bacteria, meaning they get ill more often building up a natural immunity over time.

Men, do dirty stuff, so are used to it, until some bad-ass bacteria get inside them and it disables them for 24-72 hours.

Note 1: This probably isnt true what so ever.
Note 2: I know i said Dirty Stuff, dont you dare take it in the wrong way! :D

I see your notes but i have to add, what a load of baloney.

More nurses are female. Last i checked wiping the poop off of someones backside is a fairly dirty and bacteria infested job
More women change nappies, clean up the cat crap, clean the house than men, all dirty jobs bacteria jobs
More women work in childcare or education with snotty kids than men.

In retrospect men work as plumbers and mechanics and builders. Dirty yes, bacteria infested no.

I'm no Doctor, but as men generally have much more muscle mass and lung capacity than women, surely any virus like Influenza will cause a more detrimental affect to a man as it targets the muscles and respiratory system, surely this is pretty obvious?

Take your common sense elsewhere for godssake, this is a GD thread.
