this is so oversimplified...some career women make bad mothers and some make good mothers... as much as housewifes can make bad or good mothers...


i can?t understand why some people can start a campain and waste so much energy for such a vague topic...:-S



you are right: it is irritating!

...it depends what the one who started the post wants to chat about...


is it the ad and it?s power or the issue with career women itself...


i don?t think i missed the point here;-)...it just depends on the question...


so let?s ask the one who made the post: do you want to talk about the "power of an advert" or do you actually want to talk about the "career women"...


as if we are talking about the influences of ad?s i do not think it?s irritating at all...but if we are talking about the "career women" issue...then i do think it?s irritating!


tanza? what?s irritating to you?


maybe that helps us to know what you acutally mean!?!

Bus company ads are run by CBS Outdoor (an old outfit of mine).


In Jan occupancy is typically around 10%.


Mid 90s we ran charity campaigns on the other 90%, by the early noughties we ran campaigns aimed at ad agencies with photofits of senior guys in advertisng and game cards. The idea was that it would make agencies aware of how often they see bus campaigns.


CBS joined with the OAA (Outdoor Advertising Association) in the mid noughties and persuaded them that the medium itself was a way of promoting the medium.


Most ad agencies still reject outdoor posters on the grounds that their content is subliminal.


This particular campaign is to prove that outdoor campaigns are not passed over, but they incite public debate and engagement. They have no conviction in any challenge, the objective is merely to prove engagement.


They have 90% void, it costs nothing.


It's brilliant.


Really, unless you're a sucker, you need to make the debate disappear ;-)

I'd say it's effective but cheap. They could achieve the same result without using a statement that will make a lot of working women feel even more guilty and some non-working mothers / reactionary men just that bit more smug and critical. The Daily Mail will probably run a series of editorials agreeing with it, larded with examples of celebrity mothers to prove their point.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
