Because Who Doesn’t Want a Hoover for Christmas?

Daily Mail

Fine, some people would sincerely jump for joy if they were given a high-end appliance for Christmas, but you’d probably call them obsessive compulsive, right? But seriously, the issue with this particular ad is that it implyies that it’s a woman’s place to clean the house. In fact, the postscript that sits below it shares, “She cares about her home… if you really care about her… wouldn’t it be a good idea to consider a Hoover for Christmas?” Believe us when we tell you that if you do decide to give your wife a Hoover for the holidays, she’ll probably be shoving it right back in your face.
