this 'your kids are all fat' advert

[bryan35]

just watched it again.

seems quite a thought out piece of work, then I noticed something.

'COMFY CAR' written on the car
'MORE COMFY BUS' written on the bus.


so, i now regard it as bull.

Just saw it during Road Wars... I did notice... But then I expect nothing less than sly propoganda from this govt so there we are.



ETA: Could you have it banned on the grounds that busses are nowhere near as comfy as even the worst cars?

Genuinely boiled my piss when I saw it

Got some funny looks from my dad when I shouted "GET fkED" at the TV

If someone can find the link to copmplain, and we all do it it must be surely be taken off the air.

Be good to also list all the complainants, so we can also argue if the powers that be deny the complaint numbers.

Nice one.

Bit of a form but worthwhile.

I'll add my name to this one

When my car was in the garage for a couple of weeks recently, I bought another car just to avoid having to get the bus to work.

[Pesty]

Yep I noticed that. Do they think this propaganda they keep pumping out actualy gets absorbed subliminaly or something.
More comfy bus. yeah sitting next to a fat nutter who stinks of piss on a damaged dirty seat, in a drafty bouncy bus if more comfy than my car. allrighty then

I think the advert itself is good, gets the point accross very well. Won't make a difference though.

Given where this message originates, what did you expect other than leftist propaganda?

I saw the 'more comfy bus' and thought the same as you - am surprised a hammer and sickle logo didn't appear on the bus too.

Why the hell do they do this?

Discrediting an important issue by adding in the unrelated pro bus, anti car stuff.

Spinning Scum.

They cant help themselves.

What's with the bile? Think you are reading too much into this lads.

Surely its just an ad aimed at the idiots with fat kids who let them sit on the sofa all day and feed them processed food? I think its a simple explanation to the mentally challenged that our natural state is not to be sat on the sofa and that our lives have changed to a point where it is so physically easy we need to make an effort to exercise.....no?

If that was the case, there'd be no need to write anything on either the car or bus. Save for maybe "5 a Day" or something relevant like that.

Doesn't bother me that much, but it does give us something to rant about which is always nice.

[tomTVR]

Im confused are they promoting public transport or healthy heating? Or were they trying to promote healthy eating but couldnt resist knocking the car in the process?

I'd have got the slipper if I said that in front of my Dad!

Thinking about it. are they not promoting the car?

The advert is about us getting fat by having a comfortable lifestyle i.e going in a more comfy bus. So surley we will not get as fat by going in a less comfortable car?

s the lot of them

Eh? Surely walking to the bus stop, riding the bus and then walking from terminal bus stop to final destination is better exercise than driving door to door?

I don't understand what you're getting at.
