True, Cheeky, but again, they're Australian made ones, good ones too. But I meant a Brit one, or an American or Eurpean one, one that gets shown here I mean. I honestly can't think of one. Perhaps that's why they're popular ads, the little bit of cheekyness in them?

The visual content of some of the ads in the UK is mindbogglingly OTT so that's where they go for a little 'edge.' You want to see the Magnum advert....it says nothing rude, but all it needs is porn speak over the top, honest! Also there's the Johnson's baby oil ad....mum in shower, little boy comes in.....she acts surprised but only has one hand to cover two (generous) bosoms and one for the southerly area.....no, no, it's not naughty, but it does show a lot of flesh for a baby ad.

Flesh, sex, money....sells. And they'll show it nearly all here.

There were blokes in that advert? :wink:

Thanks Bubbles, if you ever have a chance to hear the song it's much more beautiful.
