Call me petty, but i saw this advert on tv the other night and it made me mad.

im not a racist, but i reckon if the ad were done in the reverse roles there would be minority groups up in arms.

I am glad you raised this!!
I have been getting angrier and angrier each time I see this....
So does this mean as white skinned man i cant wear skins? I am not good enough for them? Does that fact that I can run the 100 meter sprint in 11.5 seconds mean I can wear them? Or do I need to be dark skined and run it in 11 seconds?

I will never purchase or support skins producst after watching this.
Racist mongrels!!

Actually I though its supposed to mean if you wanna be black put on some skins :-)

I don't gaf about what's racist etc its just plain stupid and as you're proving won't attract good attention at all.

i actually wear similar undergarments for my sport, so it annoys me even more, i actually use the product for what its designed for, not because i reckon blacks are superior at sport and i wanna be like them.

like i said, roles reversed this add would be off air quick smart.

I went looking to see if anyone had lodged a complaint on the advertising standards bureau website, turns out they have.

Apparently the add is within guidelines.

It is the third from the bottom in April.

Also just for kicks its fun to read some of the stuff people complain about. search "Triton" and have a laugh.

What a load of shit if they were all white it would have never made it to air but in the end I still pay for all that they do

All I've got to say on this subject is I record all TV and don't watch the adverts, thus screwing all involved.
