This dreadful advert from Tom Tom was recently banned in the UK and US for it's overtly sexual nature plus it's flagrant objectification of women. I've watched ten or eleven times now and can confirm that it is a subversive and sexist video that should be banned not only from our TV screens but also from You Tube and in fact from the whole Internets. Please watch it yourself several times, and I'm sure you will agree this stuff should not be allowed.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

Terrible sexism.  I had to watch it twice to be sure.

So let me get this right. Im having trouble paying attention
Its an advert to denounce the use of a strap-on :doh:

me and all my male friends who i have sent this to, have also come to the conclusion it is extremely sexist

​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

It's a beautiful running woman with a strapless bra, depicting a male staring at her body while she's running (which totally happens).

Nothing wrong with that in my books, the close-ups are a bit obvious and perhaps slightly offtopic for an advert, but don't we see naked women on TV doing worse things than running with a strapless bra?

After repeated viewing (we can't be too careful, this is the internet after all) I can confirm: Ban This Filthâ,,¢

Swap that round so it's a male model running along topless, and suddenly it's OK. Double standards....

Seen it a couple of times now. And I want to buy one(?), but if it means I have to run I'll pass.

I've been checking everyday, why hasn't this been banned from the internet. I'm going to keep checking until this filth has been purged....

I too have stopped wearing braces for a while now. It's quite invigorating to be loose again :taz:
