Dumbing down in the classroom!
I saw this ad on the TV and it kinda shocked me.
So many questions beyond the obvious vulgarity.
Why is there so MUCH ethnic diversity in this classroom? Are we being conditioned to accept this as normal is a country that is still 80% white? Why is it such a huge class? Are we being conditioned to accept this as well?
Then there there is the way in which the boy is applauded because he decides to go the loo. Isn’t that just normal behaviour that children are taught from an early age? I understand that this ad is promoting loo roll, not the most glamorous of products, but must it be done in such a crass manner?
By way of making my point, here is an ad for the same product from 1972.
Look at the difference five decades has made. Do you think things have improved? It seems to me that these Ad Agencies are deliberately making behaviour more crude and all in the name of some stupid diversity points.

Yes its defnitely conditioning plus the outright vulgarity is vile as well. I've noticed for a few years they have been saying "poo" in various ads - its a very infantile word as well as being disgusting - we used to have ads for toilet paper etc for decades without having to hear such base words!
This is more chipping away at British culture.
Remember British reserve?
A greater degree of formality?
Traditional British etiquette? A dislike of ostentation and boasting, reticence about discussing money? The working-class self-improvement?
Home cooked meals? Brewed beer rather than wine or spirits? I could go on!
