I hope it wasn't a meat lasagne, otherwise it would have looked like

continued Bifidus Digestivum Weekly p.92

I cannot say I've seen this advert but then that's probably because I mostly watch BBC or Dave.  The Dave adverts are completely different to ITV/Channel 4/Channel 5 adverts.

But what is Biffidus Digestivum?  Is it like a posh persons Readers Digest?  And as for Ylang Ylang, I thought he was a Chinese pianist... and aren't Jojobo's those religious nuts who want to try and enter the house all the time?

Stop it with all these made-up words will you!

I do like those products that have names that you automatically know what they're used for though, like Toepedo, Bazooka and Vagisil.

Has anyone seen that advert directed at gentleman over 40 with an erectal deficiency?   Is it just me, or does his wife (well, I presume it's his wife) look about 25?

Can't say that I've seen that one,James.

The one that gets my dander up (sorry) is the 'Just For Men' hair colour restorative advert wherein,two pre-teenage girls,presumably the daughters of the man in qusstion,present him with a carton of 'Just For Men' and practically tell him to go and 'get a life' and by dyeing his hair ('improving his appearence') they may get a 'new mother'.

I saw that for the first time yesterday and thought the very same way as you did.   Are you sure you haven't seen the erectile dysfunction advert?   Maybe it's a Dave advert only... I've seen that one, that's where the couple dance round the kitchen? What you don't see is what happens afterwards, when his, er, "personal problem" is cured and he shags her brains out on the kitchen table.   So who's coming for the prog curry tomorrow?

Yep, that's the chappy!

His "wife" looks 20 years younger than he does, maybe this stuff (I forget what it's advertising exactly) really does work!

Tsk! And that version didn't get past the Advertising Standards Authority - it's censorship gone mad, I tells ya!

95% certain for Vicky and I on that one - Coal Hole for (hopefully) about 5:30

How dare you mention that weasel faced harridan of the lavatory in here!



You love her don't you...?

Hasn't it just - and a permanent new name hasn't even been decided upon yet (I shall lobby Steve this evening to support "The Shed" - it is his thread, after all).

Also - good to see the word "Crikey" getting an airing; well done.
