Notice the bald guy in the ad

[Marky]

It never ends, the bald guy is always portrayed as sub human and now associated with debt. At least he got a hot wife, which can also be a negative living under her thumb as he has no other options.
Why didn't they use a NW1 like in positive ads with smiles on their faces.

A pathetic loser, of course. What a surprise.

God forbid a handsome man was shown as a pathetic loser... no, that NEVER happens!

Well just saying it's a north American thing - thats the culture here.

There is bald discrimination here too but I don't think this area is one of them. Bald men are often perceived as leaders, dominant and good businessmen. In my working experience I've come across a lot of bald company directors, CEO's and senior managers.

This advert I would say features some bald discrimination if you want to have something to feel bitter about:

You need to seek psychiatric help. There are another hundred debt adverts with people with full heads of hair.

It kinda sums this place up when even our most respected senior members are clearly bat**** crazy.

I'm just taking a cheap shot because I know that since hellouser was easily proved wrong in the very next post he will NEVER show his face in this thread again, maybe if we get to 20 pages and it's all brushed under the carpet.

i think the image they were trying to get across is OLDER couples in debt.. actually, whenever they tray to portray family men in ads its generally a bald/balding guy, and i dont see anything wrong with that as they portray it as a part of aging.
