Bookie in Trouble for Showing Man Breasts
December 18th, 2007
Ha! Our favourite Irish bookie is back in the wars again. We think he likes being a controversial b**tard though and must hand out a bonus every time his marketing team hits a public nerve. Paddy Power has a growing reputation for his micky taking and this time his ads are being censored by some of UK’s finest… well, the London underground and Dublin Bus anyway.
We’re inclined to agree with Paddy Power’s team that poking fun of man breasts seemed like a sure fire winner. But obviously some section of society has been offended. Quite which is hard to tell. I’d understand a little more if the guy in the ad HAD actually been lactating. A bit ikky. (But I’d have still just laughed). I did like the quip on Paddy’s comments page from a punter who requested that the guy should at least shave his chest first…and I guess that enlarged on the side of a bus or staring at you from the tube, this paunchy pin up boy could put you off the second helping of your much longed for Christmas pud.
Perhaps it’s the implication that women are all off playing bingo and abandoning their hungry kids to useless males? Who knows.
Check it out here on site at PaddyPower.com here, and feel free to add your comment for the team at PaddyPower.com. Should this be censored?
