ds, after selling almost exclusively diesels for a decade.TV advertisers are so worried about being accused of racism or homophobia they are shying away from using images of white people and straight couples.
Marketing departments are even putting diversity above relevance to their target audience to avoid accusations of bigotry, a survey of 500 companies has found. The effort made to be diverse actually distracts from the products themselves.
A third of advertisers questioned said they had used fewer white models and heterosexual couples over the past year. More than a third of these said they were taking this approach to “prevent perceived discrimination”.
You can play a fun game when watching an advertisement & especially the 3 main soaps.
A point is awarded every time:
1. A mixed race couple is depicted.
2. 2 members of the same sex are depicted being affectionate with each other.
3. At least one person of colour is included in every crowd or family scene.
4. A person with a mobility issue is shown i.e. a wheelchair or with a prosthetic limb.
5. Any individual who is presenting with some form of mental anxiety issue.
Maximum points & credibility can be earnt by those companies & programmes who have accurately & with due respect reflected the profile of this countries population mix.
Observing this should NOT make you want to smash up your TV but be immensely grateful every minute & hour of the day that we live in such an enlightened & tolerant country.

I guess David Mitchell & Robert Webb have seen their careers go in different directions as Webb appears to be part of an ad flogging Now TV - where he plays the role of the bad reception / connection indoor aerial 
Is that a step up or down from when he was the "other" Alexander Meerkat a couple of years ago?

Yet they are still able to portray men as stupid clumsy or sexualize them. But that's ok ?

Women are sexualised in perfume ads, no beefy ladies in those.
But those adverts are targeted at women. If they used some fat old boiler, women would be "im not buying that, its the stench of fatties and ugly people" whereas using a fit slim model makes them want to smell like the aforementioned hottie. WJNB said:

"The Gym" advert couldn't try any harder if they tried, they've got everybody, was waiting for either a Furry to come on the screen, or someone who was just a torso and a head.Marketing departments are even putting diversity above relevance to their target audience to avoid accusations of bigotry, a survey of 500 companies has found.

Another "radio" on that's got my goat lately
I can't even remember what exactly it is advertising, but it is a couple bickering over who has to put the bins out, because they need to put them out to "save the space for their car" - its a car advert I can recall that much.
But it just annoys me that they think people can use bins to reserve their parking space.

I know the one you mean. I think there is a matching TV advert. One radio one that really does annoy me is the Tena one aimed at men.I can't even remember what exactly it is advertising, but it is a couple bickering over who has to put the bins out, because they need to put them out to "save the space for their car" - its a car advert I can recall that much.
