Hi , as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years . As a child I watched your advertisements with interest as to how at this wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many things ,I felt a little jealous. I mean bike riding , rollercoasters, dancing, parachuting, why couldn't I get to enjoy this time of joy and 'blue water' and wings !! Dam my penis!! Then I got a girlfriend, was so happy and couldn't wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month to happen .....you lied !! There was no joy , no extreme sports , no blue water spilling over wings and no rocking soundtrack oh no no no. Instead I had to fight against every male urge I had to resist screaming wooaaahhhhh bodddyyyyyyfooorrrmmm bodyformed for youuuuuuu as my lady changed from the loving , gentle, normal skin coloured lady to the little girl from the exorcist with added venom and extra 360 degree head spin. Thanks for setting me up for a fall bodyform , you crafty bugger

Step #2 - The Reply
Bodyform took it to heart and replied with:

We loved Richard’s wicked sense of humour. We are always grateful for input from our users, but his comment was particularly poignant. If Facebook had a "love" button, we'd have clicked it. But it doesn't. So we've made Richard a video instead. Unfortunately Bodyform doesn't have a CEO. But if it did she'd be called Caroline Williams. And she'd say this.

The resulting video:


Fantastic response an brilliant PR on the part of Bodyform's ad agency.

Excellent response - in 7 days!

Good point about the 7 day response time from getting the email, sending it to the marketing team, hiring an actress, crew and venue, writing the witty script, editing the video etc etc.

If you look out of the window there are green leaves on the trees, it doesnt look like the 16th of October to me.

It looks like PR stunt..

No biggy. For a good customer (and I suspect Bodyform actually is) this -from brief to release that is- can be done by a good advertising agency in less than 48 hours. We're fast if we want to..

I loved this. I was worried about letting hubby see it but I think that he has weathered the truth well. I don't think that he knew about the farting though, that was new for him

She broke wind at the end, do women really do that .

Yes. But it smells like roses and sometimes lilacs.

 

[Scruffmonster]

Anyone that believes this is barmy.

It's funny as all hell, but it's staged from start to finish.

Jasmine as well. I prefer mine in peony!

When I eat a lot of beans, I find it smells like sandalwood ....

What about Brussel Sprouts (when you eat them I mean)?

I'm not surprised! Yes, yes! It's quite common.. Warm and earthy!
Same as with Nag Champa after a good curry!

It would appear, from my experience, they dont do it until they have had a slice of their own wedding cake, so be warned
