What do you think of the VB ad? I complained to Advertising Standards about the depiction of the ugly blokes in "Blokes punching above their weight", I think one of them is Down's Syndrome, but I've seen it again since a few times and he might not be.

What's your take on this advert?

It's pretty well put together, quite funny and I like the music....

No none of them have downs! Its just Australian humor poklng fun at short/ugly blokes with gorgeous gals on arms "punching above thier weight". Thats the point of the joke and a term used here.

You complained about this ?

Not seen it, does it make you want to buy VB? Yet to see an advert in any country in the world that makes me want to buy the product, I guess people do

Maybe I'm being a bit picky, but one of the women with "the blokes punching above their weight" (the tall one with the bonde curly hair) looks like a man in drag I reckon.
"The men who wouldn't read the instructions" have got to be the best.

People throwing a sickie. The great Aussie tradition

Have seen the ad, its one of my favorites. It didn't make me reach for a VB though.

Men who'd rather eat an off prawn than submit to a quiche ...

The advert in question for those of you that haven't seen it ...

The downside of watching cricket LIVE....

The first 5 or 6 times I saw the add I might have giggled....

now after 300 repetitions its getting a *little* old.

I'll be glad when the cricket is over and I can resume normal PVR service and skip ads again!!

he said in the first sentence that it looked like one of the men had downs syndrome - this is what he complained about

Whether you believe it or not advertising works - you may not realise that you are buying something based on a ad but you will be - most people say the same as you but billions each year is spent in advertising - WHY? Because it works.

That was my favourite bit. They're all covering their faces with newspaper. Look to be all blokes though. Huh.

Almost as bad as those bloody awful Ricky Ponting Swisse Vitamins ads.

Is that so Miss moneydysonpenny?

On a slightly different tack . . . I'm getting pretty teed off with men in general being portrayed as numpties in tv adverts . . . or am I being an overly sensitive meringue?

I'm sick of turning on the radio and hearing the 'guys, are you suffering from premature ejaculation?' One reason to not have your parents visit you.

And no I dont lol.
