A woman and her beaver. Can this advert really have caused such outrage?
Of all the idiotic, patronising, ludicrous and downright silly adverts for monthly ladyblood, this has to rank right down near the very bottom of the pile. I love a good euphemism (the attentive ones among you will have noted that I just referred to periods as "monthly ladyblood") but most adverts for tampons and the like are hideously coy about what it is they're talking about. This Australian advert, which has a bit of fun with the "beaver" euphemism, has created a right hullabaloo, with people complaining to the Advertising Standards Bureau left right and centre.
Personally? I think it's funny. What do you rec?
