Yorkie sexist?
 

Well I know most people here will know about the "yorkie" choclate bar. I don't know if anyone else here agrees with me but it is a bit sexist saying that "IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS!" clearly on the side of the wrapper and "NOT AVAILABLE IN PINK" on the back. Do they think we're all weak tarts or something and I hate the colour pink. And its the advert thats stupid too.For those of you that haven't seen it a girl walks into a shop dressed as a guy and ask's for a yorkie. The shopkepper does these try outs to see if she is a girl she passes all of them except for the last one wich is when the shopkepper says
"the wrapper really brings out the blue in your eyes" and she blows her cover and he doesn't give her the choclate bar! How stupid is that I would of said "give me the damn choclate bar" and walked off.
I don't want to start a war or something I was just expressing my opinion what does everyone else think?

I know, its not fair....


...I want the pink one!!!:cry:





:D

For Christ's sake - it's just a bit of fun in a commercial...

Uh, It's not Jedi's point..
What is a "Yorkie" a Butch Candy Bar???

It's a bar of milk chocolate, synonomous with HGV drivers, white van men, and sun readers. The advertizing campaign jokes that it's not for girls, and a man's chocolate bar. It's designed to appeal to men (who are the target audience for the product). And it works; it's generated loads of pubilicity (they were out in shopping centres only giving free samples to men). All these feminists are getting so upset over nothing, it's really funny.

Ad Campaign wise did they at least Irish Spring it..
You , know Manly , but girls like it too?

Nope, it was blatently sexist :D

pah.

everything is something -ist nowadays.

Its a joke, GET OVER IT!

That's what I said :)

and i agree :D

Spiff was right no-one will agree with me........
I was just wondering what everyone's else opinion was.
I'm well over it I just thought it was a bit stupid I'm calmer now.
People can still post their opinion though if they want.

mmm, biscut and rasin yorkie.

yorkies pwn :D

and the advertising campaign is great.

You know, maybe it's cause they're men! I agree with you!:D

plain yorkie on its own, or dunked in hot milky coffee. Glorious.

Possibly, but that means the advertising campaign is working by creating brand awareness and also appealing to the target audience :p

and insulting 52% of buying power. YEP! 52 per cent!
They are stoopid!!!!!!

Most of the women I know wouldn't buy a Yorkie bar anyway - they regard it as too much chocolate, as they're all on forever on diets and trying to lose weight...

Plenty of girls buy Yorkie bars too. The advertising campaign just pokes a bit of fun. It is the hardcore feminists in dungarees who complain about such matters (not that I am implying that anyone except Binary Hero is a hardcore feminist in dungarees).

An entirely good humoured post. :)
 

At the moment in the UK there is also an advert for (I think) Hugo Boss aftershave, which consists entirely of a naked man poncing around his apartment. 30 seconds of gratuitous naked male arse. I take it that our Outraged Female Correspondent has no objection to this?

Hmmmm... thought not. :)

How come women who act like "parrots with tits" are Cute girls
or nice looking women in jeans but feminist wear dungarees ?
hehehhee that does me hehhehehe

Two words: Germaine Greer.

link?
 

link to the homepage, or article or something?

Re: An entirely good humoured post. :)
 

I don't like that either! and straight women is not the "TargetMarket"
there!:D :D

Re: Yorkie sexist?
 

/me agrees with teh opion of Jedi Gemstone (also kinda on behalf on my girlfriend) she hate pink and would get pissed at that ad if she saw it

Re: Re: An entirely good humoured post. :)
 

Good point, well made. :)

I've got some of that stuff somewhere... No wonder it never seemed to work. :(

I never said I didn't like the dungarees. In fact... ;)

Kewl :D

This is Germaine Greer in her younger days..she was and is a beauttiful women. {couldn't get the picture I wanted} She wrote
The Female Eunch as well as many essays, and did great work for
the women's movement:

Ya know... eating chocolate produces the same chemical reactions in the brain as having sex. ;):D

mmm... (drool) Biscuit and Raisin... (drool)

HAH! You people actually bother to read the wrapper?
WHO FRICKEN CARES!? All I want is the chocolaty goodness ;)

Yeah, and some women really do crave it at certain times chemically.
I like chocolate, but I'm acually a cream junkie..peacan pie warm
with tons of real whipped cream!*sigh*

FOr those wondering what us crazy BRits are on about goto

www.yorkie.co.uk and view the ad there.

Sexist or funny you decide?

i am such a hardcore feminist, i have nailed by breasts down to my chest, and i have a pair of huge breasts tattooed over them, as a symbol that i will not be defined by my breasts. And i don't wear dungarees, just a pair of boxors, to show that i am not inhibited by my sexuality, and i can also show off my fake breasts :)

This is not a product for girls just the same as girl magazines are not for men. Get over it, go eat your poncy Galaxy bars if you must just don't bitch because your 'such a repressed female, how do you expect us to cope with all this blatent male sexism in the world. We should be free and not stereotyped!' Fuck that, femminist suck dick! ;)

Yorkie isn't sexist! :D

Yes, we do! But just not your dick!

just bought a yorkie and a bottle of coke as a result of this thread

(on a sidenote, i returned the godawful Audioslave album and bought some REAL music, in the form of the requiem for a dream sountrack...sexrex would be pleased)

Does this mean feminist hackers wear b0x0rs? :D

Youngies, in NY do. The girls are cute , they about a buck and

I find the idea of Binary hero in dungarees a pleasant one...
