So excited I am going to watch the ABs play the Wallabies. One of our suppliers has a box and is shouting us dinner and drinks and dessert after. I have never seen the ABs play live so it is big event for me! Fun fun

In other news:
Has anyone heard that ad on the radio advertising a certain large men's clothing chain store for father's day. It starts 'you gotta give your old man credit that at some stage he got some- you may have been a result of a.....' and it lists a bunch of things. Am I being to serious but I don't think it is particularly appropriate to joke about these subjects on national radio.

Is this the type of advertising that is suppose to appeal to men? They must be targeting younger men who would but their dads clothes for fathers day? I thought it was mainly the daughters or the mum that would buy the Dad some clothes but apparently not. Anyway I think this stores ad's are offensive and sexist. The last competition they ran was to win a trip to a FHM bikini shoot! I mean really- women are not objects to oogle people!!!!

now... take this in the context it's given ppl ;-)...

1) there would be no bikini shoots if the women kept their clothes on.

2) all men think that way to some degree (those that deny it are liers).

3) yes the ads are revolting and should be delt to in the same manner the sign was. Yelling, screaming and letters of complaint. Increasing public awareness will help with the yelling and screaming too.
Christians are not of the world, but still should be aware of the problems in the world and try fixing them if they can.

Allan,

As much as your first point maybe true. I get sick of guys trying to pass the blame back to the girls. Come on guys we have a problem.

We should be able to expect Christian Girls to help us in this area (Which a large number don't) but we can't go around telling random women to dress modestly. we are not to judge the non-christian.

It's our (guys) problem! we need to work on/deal with it!
