> The best part is at the end, when HER HUSBAND comes into the kitchen, gets some food out of the fridge, and HE drops it all over the floor too. Cue the same "isn't he cute?" expression and the same cleanup from the mother. Aww, how sweet. This ad singlehandedly sets back women's rights about 250 years.


This reminds me of a similarly sexist advert for Persil detergent over here:

SCENE: Hall of a middle-class house. Enter GIRL, running, excited, wearing muddy football clothes. MUM picks her up and carries her into the kitchen

GIRL: Mummy, Mummy, I scored!!!!

MUM: (distracted, because mothers care about WASHING, not FOOTBALL) Fantastic.

GIRL: (begins waffling about the match. Cue overdub about how fantastic Persil tablets are. Blech.)

MUM: (smiles indulgently)

GIRL:...and it bounced off the ref, hit me in the face and went in!

Enter DAD from the hallway. DAD obviously knows everything

DAD: (patronising, obnoxious, MCW) And next week we'll score in the other team's goal, won't we, dear?

GIRL: (shocked expression, face falls) Oh yeah.

Overlay Persil logo and end


You know, I've heard that Surf is surprisingly good at getting grass stains out of cricket whites...
