Marks & Spencer Food
This is not just bread, it’s traditional farmhouse bread made from the finest flour milled by Polynesian nurse maids and filtered through the digestive tracts of endangered sloths… No. It’s bread with a ludicrous price tag.

Any of the plethora of commercials featuring the song “Here Come the Girls”
Possibly the most overused piece of feminist drivel in commercial TV history. It annoys the hell out of me and it annoys the hell out of my girlfriend. The current offender is Boots, who have jumped upon the bandwagon of spewing out “female solidarity” instead of actually bothering to properly market their products. Are women really that stupid? I don’t think so. Change the tune.

Re:Marketing pap that makes you want to throw up
OK here's another one from me that Madmax's Boots tyrade reminded me of:
-Enter harmless fool of a husband whose just spilt ketchup on himself, the messy pup!
-Will he get caught out,? No siree! He'll wash it himself. But allas, he is soon confounded by the "washing engine" and the "Back-to-White Sprite's" magic powder (I hereby copyright that gimmicky washing powder moniker, by the way...).
-But wait? What's this? Enter the sassy wife who's oh so tolerant of her doltish husband, there to save the day and show him how it's done!
-Cut to confident home-woman brandishing a glowing t-shirt for her sheepishly grateful spouse to admire! Phew: another disaster avoided!
OK, dramatics aside this really gets up my nose for being doubly sexist.
The men are portrayed as helpless imbeciles, essentially adding to the juvenile quotient of the household.
Meanwhile the women are basically being told "here's your chance to finally match up to men by being a whizz at home: something you can be good at!!"
How condescending is that?!
Way to reinforce stereotypes, Lev*r bros.....!
