That ad for Colgate, simpering women in white frocks (love the word, "frock"!)
The main one featured is the blonde one. Her hair has a good layered, razored looking cut, but why on earth is it combed over one eye, seemingly obscuring her vision on one side?
Am I missing something? Is she wearing a patch to help with astigmatism, and doesn't want anyone to notice?
Did the make up artists mess up her mascara on one side, and the studio time was so limited that they had no time to change it, so decided to improvise with the hair?
Was she brought up by an Old English Sheep Dog, and assumed that hair over the eyes is quite the done thing? (Although if that WAS the case, then surely she would also be sporting a gravy stained beard, and be prone to licking her own bottom, but perhaps they edited that out for the ad)
elisagrace it was this same ad which prompted me to start the "your best TV ads" thread. I enjoyed it and it made me smile! 
Morgana also re adverts for sanitary protection, why are we being asked to believe that women leak blue fluid at certain times of the month. I'm sure this must confuse some
I didn't think those ads about women being active during periods were around any more...
I haven't seen most of the ads mentioned on this thread either, I think it must be a regional thing (although I did see the BHF one last night - very hard-hitting }
Some ads drive me to distraction, Go Compare, Money Supermarket, toothpaste ones where they always use it because the Dentist does!! I do tend to ignore most of the ad breaks or go make a brew, go to the loo
, even pick my book up or go on Gransnet as now. only ones I really like are the ones featuring cats, less irritating!
Have you noticed that the Colgate whitening ads always show women with bright red lipstick on, just for the contrast. I don't wear red lippy, neither do most of the men I know but I'm sure we'd all like whiter teeth. Would it still work for us.
When I hear 'frock' I always think of a posh frock. The sort of frock you'd go to a wedding or special event in. So I have dresses and my posh frock although I tend to slop around in jeans/trousers and comfy tops
