PC Format pulls "sexist and offensive" advert

CoolMags advertisement in PC Format featuring a woman on a toilet with her underwear below her knees causes a stir

 

[Pooky]

I would've scrapped that because it's really lame.

 

[Graal]

What a remarkably tasteless advert.

that add has been in PC format before seen it last year. will find the published mag to see the month. IDK why it gets the massive attention now :/

Because girls aren't PCF's target market. It looks like their female readers have had enough, though.

That's hot! I want a toilet cleaner just like that one!

That's extremely sexist. The political correct term is "girlfriend"

But agree that the ad is not in good taste.

I stoped buying PC mags due to lack of content and good insight, and i can see how this might be offensive. But i dont know what to think about it due to not buying the mags anymore.

HAHA Touche!

 

[Murph]

Good. I hated that stupid ad.

Sexism aside, this should have been pulled on the basis of simply being an example of excessively poor marketing. The content of the ad has little to nothing to do with the product being advertised.

Which applies to almost all adverts you see on TV. Cant stand them. 8/10 people think this product is better, would love to know where they get their stats from.

Overclock soveel as jy wil, jy gaan nogsteeds nie Crysis met 'n GT210 speel nie. OK, dalk single-player maar wragtag nie multi-player nie "whistling:
