MIS in an advert?

Post by Mouse »

I saw this on this on the wall in a London Tube Station. I presume it is an apron? But the bare legs, white socks and Crocs ask many questions in my brain.

Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

One or two months ago I did see one from Proximus (belgian telecom company) with a man wearing a kilt. Unfortunately, I did see it only twice: first time I was sleepy and realized long after. Second time, I hadn't prepared my camera to take a shot. Third time, it was already removed. All in less than a week :-/

Spirou,
I can well understand why a Belgian would use a kilted man in their advertising, there are strong historical links between the two countries to the extent that the roots of Scots law has more in common with yours than ours does with Englands.
However, the kilt is not regarded as a skirt in this context, so it doesn't really count in favour of the Men in Skirts cause.
Normally associated with France, but still applicable, it's good to be reminded of the "Auld Alliance", the Scots place great value on friendship.
Steve.
