Just seen "Fathers Day" Hallenstein's advert 2/8/05

[WRT]

Ok, they should be promoting safety, but hey - at least they are promoting motorcycling! You guys are too busy focusing on the bad, look on the brightside! My interpretation of that is that they are saying that there should be more hot chicks on bikes - and I'm all for that

Yay for hot chicks on bikes! Mmmm, hot chicks . . . mmmm, bikes . . .

Move up to Auckland then.... there's heaps of hot women up here.

na, most auckland woman are far to into themselves! haha

[ManDownUnder]

she's bloody hot..
the ad does show a destinct lack of protective gear
she is very fit
I don't get the jist of the ad
but boy, is that girl sexy..

Edit - just realised this is my 4000th post. didn't know it when I posted it, glad I made it a little pervy.. I'd just like to thank my boss, for giving me no work to do, to my friends and family since I can diss them and 'pervert' them to add to my count, and to the justice, since the term goes - to pervert the course of justice... bring it on

Don't worry about that, a surprising number have room for one more...

The initial post didn't make it clear [and we don't HAVE adverts like that in wa ] ..........
if the GIRL was riding the bike then it is a perfectly wholesome, uplifting and acceptable advert from well-balanced and community-minded advertisers [who are probably nice to their kids and help out at church socials]

... if it was the BLOKE upfront then yeah, it's a peverted, cheap, degrading piece of crap that should be binned along with the money-hungry, scum-sucking advertisers who put it to air



the words wholesome and uplifting appear in the above because they are apt - NOT as in invitation to hijack this thread in a manner unbefitting!!

It's an interesting point... I love advertising for that reason (gender roles and the acceptance of them).

I recall a while back the ad for Rashuns where a car load of girls drove down the road, ripped all the clothes off some guy walking along (bar his boxers) then drove off laughing.

I'd love to see the reaction if the genders were reversed... the feminists would be up in arms about it... (and I'd quite like it)

if the chick was ridin up front, they would have crashed when they stopped.
damn it, now I've spoilt my 4,000 count.

[Sniper]

You would spoil anything given a chance LOL

[SARGE]

I want to meet more hot women!!!!

check your mouthwash

Look its hallensteins okay, if there is a cliche out there in need of a good advert to wrap around it, their your boys. I think its something to do with distracting us from the fact that the product is (how shall i say this and not be sued.....well you know what i mean). But the girl is very pretty, and probably still in school and not about to leave any time soon. Okay this has taken a very wrong turn some where, now we're all perverts and dirty old (wo)men.

So no change there then, yeah more sex in advertising please, as if i had to ask.

[crashe]

the advert had the boy up front and the girl on the back of the bike.

Buggy - you haven't ruined your post ranking afterall...

The mind boggels. ANd perves. Could I be the only one to take this in a dodgy way?

[dawnrazor]

Now if it had been the other way around it might have been interseting

I'd guess they were responsible young people and planned to put the protection on once they were inside the house.
