Have you seen it? Orangina-advert-too-sexyI saw it weeks ago and Mini-Trub and I just stared at each other afterwards in shock. I used to like Orangina but that would put me off. Hope it gets buried. Watching it today on the net it didn't seem as bad. I guess that's because here I expect to see things that push the barriers of taste. On TV it was just WRONG! |

As I recall - Orangina is made by Barr in the UK (it used to be Bulmers) So we've only the Scots to blame! ;D

I remember going through French towns in the 1970's when we once hired a car at Orly airport and drove all the way to the South West (over two days) and if you saw a set of four advertising hoardings - three would be for Orangina! It made a refreshing change to Coke obsessed Britain. Course, it doesn't taste like it used to! Somewhere I have a photo with me and a bottle of Orangina circa 1979 - but you'll just have to make do with me being enigmatic and hippy like on a weekend in Nice circa 1983 or so.  Gawd! Freckley an all! |

The inter-species sexual activity hinted at in this advert is clearly a subliminal message about multi-culturalism and the BNP should boycott it. On a more serious note, the pornification of our culture continues apace . . .. And on an unrelated matter, why does the swearware on here allow 'Fuck' but not 's - h - i - t'? That seems bizarre. |

I thought I'd disconnected all the swearware. Hey ho, back I go! Now, if only I had a right hand person to double check all this for me..................................  Seeing how we're becoming stupendously popular an' all  |

I could never understand those Benetton posters with car crash victims and slimy new-born babies, but apparently they boosted sales.
Nowt as queer as folk, as they say. or perhaps they don't any more.
Hands up who has bought a Marathon bar since they changed the name to Snickers?
