I'm sure you've seen those TV ads for "feminine hygiene" products, showing girls having a great time. And Bodyform's really annoying tag line of "Have a
Happy Period".
In October last year, a chap called Richard posted a comment on Bodyform's facebook page. complaining that he'd been lied to all these years...
Here's the text in case it's cut off in the pic above:
Hi
, as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years . As a
child I watched your advertisements with interest as to how at this
wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many
things ,I felt a little jealous. I mean bike riding , rollercoasters,
dancing, parachuting, why couldn't I get to enjoy this time of joy and
'blue water' and wings !! Dam my penis!! Then I got a girlfriend, was so
happy and couldn't wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month
to happen .....you lied !! There was no joy , no extreme sports , no
blue water spilling over wings and no rocking soundtrack oh no no no.
Instead I had to fight against every male urge I had to resist screaming
wooaaahhhhh bodddyyyyyyfooorrrmmm bodyformed for youuuuuuu as my lady
changed from the loving , gentle, normal skin coloured lady to the
little girl from the exorcist with added venom and extra 360 degree head
spin. Thanks for setting me up for a fall bodyform , you crafty bugger
Bodyform have now responded.....
Well done Bodyform!
