Oops I got 5 out of 10! How did you go David??

Nothing wrong with the add, but then I generally don’t watch adds, that’s what iPads are for!

I got 9/10 on the quiz. :shock: Missed the one on volume :oops:

I watched the ad, no issues. I also read the article. Is this person for real?
Others were outraged the commercial was shown on TV after 7:00pm, saying that children may see the ad and ask their parents about periods.

"I am absolutely appalled that Libra has chosen when I was to talk to my seven-year-old little girl about periods," wrote one viewer.
Really? When were you planning on trying to talk to her, after she already got the lowdown from the girls at school? When she woke up screaming with blood in the bed and didn't know what was going on? Dipshit.

I also suspect the medical training probably doesn’t hurt. ;)

What does hurt is you and Stui outscoring me! :lol:

Hang on a minute, using your (and ad standards) reasoning here; Condom adds would have them full of Jizz, demonstrating they don't break, Toilet paper adds would show poo on the paper and proof they're strong enough to prevent a finger going through, Cough medicine adds showing someones barfed up phlegm in the basin, toilet cleaners removing big skiddys from the pan... etc, etc, they're all only 'bodily discharge' after all.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

That's actually a pretty good idea! :lol: On that note, nobody buy Kleenex brand toilet paper. Don't say I didn't warn you!

In all seriousness, squeamishness about bodily discharge is not only stupid and infantile, but it can actually be life-threatening. Check this story out from last year:
