The "Triple Nipple" Offensive

Men, never, ever jokingly volunteer to be your lactating wife's third nipple...


Ever.

An ad campaign for Boots' nipple cream has escaped a ban from the advertising watchdog despite 19 complaints from members of the public and women's groups that it was misleading and offensive.

A press ad, for the Boots Expert moisturising nipple cream, ran in magazines including OK!, Mother & Baby, Best and Chat. The campaign also included a radio ad.
The magazine ad featured a sketch drawing of a woman holding her baby at arm's length with a grimace on her face.

Her dress was open and showed the skin on her breast stretched taut from the baby's mouth.

In the ad the woman complains that breastfeeding has caused her to have extremely sore nipples.

"For the first time in my life I wish I had three nipples," states part of the copy in the ad.

Hmmm, 3rd nipple or saggy tits...I can see why someone would choose the former over the later. Not really, though.

That picture did so much to ruin my dinner...AWESOME!

The images of both of these pics will be burned in my mind forever. Are you prepared to pay for my massive therapy bill?

The repercussions of such a photo as you have there Chelle can only lead to the annihilation of every thing we hold dear! Nice post lol!

Kadi said...

As one who nursed seven children of my own, I can attest to wishing that very same thing from time to time. Of course...I some think I am disturbed and slightly insane. Both side effects of seven years of having raw nipples if you ask me!

A radio ad. hmm. The potential audio special effects are mind boggling.

Being first in the humor category has to be tough. But you should probably write something funny. Numb nuts

Some random stranger said...

Geez...what next. They will be telling us that KY Jelly isnt for...well, anyway, the weather is nice out there today.

The nice thing about being a guy breastfeeding is that the baby gets to floss as well.

Don't think about it too hard.

Are you saying I should quit trying to order nipple cream for my double latte?
