Australians are so much better at this

Oh, look! Two well-to-do middle aged caucasion men marketing a non-sex-related product by presenting women as heaving bosom steaks, their peril as punch line, and their sexuality as consumer goods. I especially enjoyed the possible rape undertones. It's a revolution in advertising! Why has no one ever thought of this before?

I wouldn't be so vociferous if these dapper gentlemen were selling vibrators, lubriants, or aphrodesiac hits of the'70s, or if they were dressed for the beach themselves. But Jesus Christ on rollerskates, they are men in suits selling condos. A constant steaming public stream of this gets discouraging after a few decades.

That's because they have a sense of fun about them, and political correctness-it seems-is a relatively unknown term.

And yes, I would buy the house if I had the money, but only if the lingerie model were included. ;-)

lol they both sound British to me. pretty rare to hear us refer to women as 'broads' though. rather crass ad, undoubtedly from the Gold Coast (home of crassness)

How appalling. On behalf of Australian women I'd like to say that not all of our blokes are like the ones responsible for this advertisement. In fact, a great many Australian men treat women with respect and intelligence.

That may actually be more offensive than the GoDaddy superbowl ads.

hahahaha! I thought it was clever! Yes, it was bad form and all but still... you gotta admit... and I'm a broad! I guess when you are selling high end homes like this you can afford this kind of production. hahaha Okay, the two broads were a bit much, but wasn't that the point?

Is this ad for real?

"In fact, a great many Australian men treat women with respect and intelligence." (citation needed)

Holy dooley! This old dag got real stoked seeing all them spunky sheilas.
And them white pointers are real beauts, even got me ole doodle cracking fat. No wackers, wonkers, or wogs here. I'm movin in.

Cane Toad Swaggie needs to be neutered.

Once again, "political correctness" is being used to mean "it's funny when people who aren't white males are belittled, demeaned and ridiculed, and anyone who disagrees is whiny and has no sense of humour. But when white males are belittled, that's evil!"
