Its pure cheese, but why has is not caused as much fuss on here as VP did?

Err...because sex "sells" more than cereal?

A side note - there were two different velodromes used for the filming: Manchester for the outside, Palma for the inside.

Sex sells? really?

Thats not really my point, there was 3 or 4 threads about VP's photo shoot with many saying she has 'sold out' and it was degrading, yet no-one has accused Sir Chris of selling out advertising Bran flakes... unless of course they all know for sure he is not 'fibbing' about eating them every day and that he is not just doing it for the money like VP did is it not just the same?.

Who's VP?

 

[Keith Oates]

They are both top class cyclists, but being a normal red blooded man, seeing VP in a sexy pose is more exciting than watching Chris Hoy eating cereal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's VP?

Victoria Pendleton

For no apparent reason, can I just re-introduce Helen Mirren?

Not sure either does much for me so I guess I'm either not normal, not red blooded or not male.

Having just checked, I guess I'm not normal.... and can someone now tell me where I've put the plasters?

Don't worry about it yello, you like and partake in cycling so that puts you above all else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could I forget

Personally I quite like the ones from this set

 

[User482]

Dribble.

 

[Wigsie]

Just dribbling and posting pics of her again then?

ok, well I tried.

 

[yello]

Don't worry about it yello

Don't worry you say! "Don't worry"!! I've blood pouring from a gaping wound and you say "don't worry"! If I don't find those plasters quickly, I'm a gonna I tell you.

I've no problems with Chris Hoy's ad. It's dull as but hardly selling out. Nor VP's, um, photo shoot. She has as fit and as toned a body as Hoy, and I can admire either for that, but I don't find either erotic or such like. But then I don't think an athletic form is necessarily sexy... in fact, quite the opposite sometimes.

Different things though innit? CH is advertising but keeps his kit on. We see this rightly or wrongly as acceptable and following in a long line of celebrity endorsements. He's only being him as we know him. It's not like he's saying 'eat bran flakes and btw here is my todger'.

VP's naked form is not what we know her for. (Btw, I use "we" in a very general sense). That is what upsets some and leads to calls of 'sell out' and 'degrading' etc; she's a cyclist not a porn star sort of thing. It challenges a world view. I personally don't have an issue with her doing it. She's happy to do it and, it would seem, actually enjoys it; it seems she wants to challenge the single view of her. Cool, whatever, it hardly rates up there either way.
