Foxy Fighting

[fleetfur]

Someone on the TV's Worst Adverts website claimed that the tv ad for Foxy Bingo (in which a posh fox fursuit parades about town) was one of his most hated. It started off an interesting exchange in the comments section

Had it been a "nice" and full fursuit it would be ok. I'm wondering when the Abbey Squizzer is going to be coming to our screen?

At least they managed to squeeze a fox tail for him out of the limited production budget!

It's because he's English. We are famously ugly!

The fox was fine, but ye gods.. definitely a terribly cheesy ad. Interesting how firmly they're marketing strictly to women, too - I'd always thought of bingo as more of a unisex old folk's game. And Chinese, if Monty Python's to be believed. =:)

Bingo is definitely being marketed to the masses now - as evidenced by those crappy Sun Bingo tv adverts and the Gala Bingo ones where Sharon Osbourne unwisely plays on her laptop at the edge of the swimming pool.

i have to admit its a mild gambling thing like national lottery but i havent seen a nationall lottery add in ages.

but yeah because you can win cash and other sorts of prises people tend to play it more now. You get a few Gala bingo places in some towns and citys where people would rahter waste lost of money gambling instead of going to the cinima.

personally i prefer the card games like polker, 21 and other games like that.

but yeah thats the most uglyest looking fox suit ive seen esp for a tv advert. but yeah its advertised to women because women apparentaly like to do "fun" things to try and win prises. women are generally suckers for stuff like that. accourding to the people who make up their target audiences and this usually reflects in servays and other related questionnairs.

I honestly have trouble believing that hip young women choose to go to bingo instead of the pub unless they are Christians or something.
