    Nothing wrong with watching the sport if you like it, but Nivea are implying they are only watching it for the women. I am still cross about it :rotfl: Nice to see some replies on their FB page tho'.:rotfl:




    Fully get what your saying and agree its sexist in an adolesent "Beavis an Butthead" sort of way :doh: :rotfl:



    But If I can be devils advocate, is this not what they are trying to convey - its a typical bloke joke in the Locker Room which is where Dave is hanging out. :D


    Yeah, they are pitching it at (nivea for) men but as most of us know, it will mainly be ladies visiting and I can see how you might deem it tasteless and from Nivea's point of view could backfire. :eek:




    Come to think about it, maybe I should be more upset - they just stereotyped me after I bought their products :mad: Thats it back to Clinique for me. :D:D:D
    I'd like to teach the World to sing in perfect Harmony :grin: :j :D:)

    I've quite surprised myself how cross I am about it to be honest! I do think it's a blokey joke but I did expect more from Nivea:rotfl: This is more like something from Nuts or Loaded magazine, if they still exist. I can see it backfiring too!
