Ohh, that's why I couldn't get it, but of course that's something that everyone should obviously know [img]tongue.gif[/img]

As for an answer to your question Dragonshadow, if you live in the states, I'm very sure you can sue them for emotional damage (God knows everyone has been sued for everything else already :rolleyes: ).

Maybe a visual would help -

They're shit anyway - too much sugar and not enough cocoa content. Women have better taste.

Bollocks! You're just pissed off cos you're not allowed it! :D Yorkies are the best! Kakero - you'd do well to get your hands on a box of Yorkies my friend. Just hide 'em from your girlfriend. :D

In the US you can sue anybody for just about anything, unless you have become obeise(sp?) and plan on blaming the fast food industry for it. I think it's either a bill or a law now (not sure how far it's gotten; I haven't been watching that topic all too closely). At any rate I wouldn't take a candy wrapper personally. Now if the store clerk wouldn't sell you the bar because of the wrapper and your being a girl, then you could potentially sue the shop, but over a candy bar? Or if you find a sufficient number of female persons ticked off or otherwise emotionally put out by the ad, you might be able to build a case against the company.

Don't take my word on that though. I'm not learned in the laws of my country let alone those of England

*giggles* I wonder what would happen should all bras be labelled "Men not allowed to touch". [img]tongue.gif[/img] I bet there would be lawsuit after lawsuit.

DS, ignore it. It's probably made up by some 50 year old guy that still lives at home and never had a girlfriend. You know, the immature type. But then that describes 99% of the male population.

No stop trowing things at me! Timber said I could be sexist! Take it out on him! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL Willow. :D
We don't have Yorkie bars in the Netherlands but who needs them anyway? Let the men have 'em if they want... <font size=0>it won't compensate their inability to have MOs anyway</font> [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] *trying hard to remember family forum status of IW* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I love the Yorkie ads on the TV:

At a children's football match

Dad 1: Alan, get stuck in!
Dad 2: Johnny, run at him!
Mum: Graham, tuck your shirt in!

Vaskez 04-15-2004 09:35 AM

Willow and Mel.....oh dear..... I sense a lot of bitterness over this. You talk like you don't care but then have to come up with really harsh reprisals cos a bit further down it's really bothering you....didn't expect such insecurity from two down-ass females like you :D
