Has anyone else seen this ridiculous ad for over 50’s life assurance. The couple that have decided to turn nudists how stupid is this? Dear me the world’s gone mad!

No haven’t seen it I ll have to look out for it for a laugh

I found it quite funny, particularly the young girl's reaction!

Just another stupid distasteful advert among so many. No wonder some people are prepared to pay not to see them.

There does not seem to be a watershed anymore. I read about a little boy who was trading insults with his little friend and he yelled "So what? You've got erectile dysfunction."

I think a lot of stuff on tv is mad nowadays. The all over body deodorant with the girl sniffing a mans rear end for example or the one about the Pepto Bismol singing about diarrhoea.
One reply from a poster hit the nail on the head by saying If it makes people talk they have done their job.

Talking of nudists, walking on Purbeck Beach in Dorset last week, we always make a hasty turnaround when we get to a sign carrying a warning "Nudist Area Beyond Here" Once seen, can't be unseen shock

I came across one yesterday where a woman , sitting on a loo, was giving instructions to the person in the next cubicle on how to insert a tampon.
How crude is that for television?

I'm not a delicate, young flower anymore, but these tasteless adverts really do annoy me.

My daughter came home from primary school and told me another little girl had called her a dildo.

Sun Life ads - there are three, nudists, Jujitsu and woodcarving.
We don't all share the same humour but there's nothing offensive about these. Clever brand marketing, obviously succeeding.

Well I just thought how daft it was. Nothing offensive about the nudity just plain daft. My boys would have laughed and had us sectioned!

Yes usedtobeblonde hubby walks out the room when it comes on!
