Yep. No need for adolescent sexualisation of the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetop Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 No offence to any of them, but in comparison to our lovely Rosie, they have 'faces for Radio' .... Lol, I don't think EB ever set out to upskill those already with knowledge of reloading. IMO what they have tried to do is appeal to a younger generation who are not reloaders & try to move it on from what can be seen as by some as boring, the pipe & slippers aspect of shooting.. If that attracts more shooters - great ! If that attracts more reloaders - great ! My teenage daughter watched it - she pays NO interest in shooting - she was commenting on the girls style of dress , but not in a way you lot would think or have already perceived. It's was also her opinion on the pit girls, is that the 'pc' brigade has gone made with telling people what to do or think & if those girls wanted to do that job, then they should do that job !

I agree. I shoot in a club where it's not uncommon to see the odd young lassie wearing shorts like that during the summer. No one's forcing you to watch it. Not quite sure what's offensive or degrading about a lady in a pair of shorts. It's not like she's bouncing around in a little bikini..... When did we become such a nation of pansies that you can't handle a presenter wearing a pair of shorts? Life's good if that's all we've got to cry about.

Exactly if you dont like it dont watch it, maybe it should have a Snowflake rating just to satisfy some . In my experience I find the ones who dont like that kind of light hearted humour are extremely offensive to my eyes and ruin my appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we under-estimate our youth if we automatically assume that we need to sell them ideas with sex. That's a reflection on our generation and on us, not on them.

MrCetrizine Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I find it funny that people watch these videos containing a fully clothed woman, not making any sexual comments or bending over provocatively and see it as sexualised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artiglio Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Reading the above you’d have to forgive Edgars/Hornady if they wondered why they had bothered trying to produce something a bit different. Over the summer on a sunny day you’ll see girls/women from the university teams at bisley attired not dissimarily to Rosie, look at the NRA website and its page promoting the Easter Meet ,shows a blonde female shooter in shorts, no hint of an out cry that the NRA is sexualising shooting. As for male attitudes , in my smallbore club , a couple wanted their 15 year old daughter to take up shooting , no problem till the summer whenthe daughter was turning up to shoot prone wearing skirts no longer than Rosies shorts. She ended up shooting on her own with exception of parents and RO, other members decided not to be present for fear of any perceived accusation being made against them. The clubs child protection officer spoke with the parents, whose view was that their daughter could wear what she wanted when she wanted, they never attended the club again. on balance the vldeos to me strike a reasonable balance , likely to appeal to a wider audience , as with everything , you can’t please everyone all the time.

Apart from the leaving remark from one who said that he had thought us old target shooters were old fuddy-duddies.... And by some of the comments on here, he may have a point...

brown dog Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Only just caught this thread. What a remarkably 'retro' way to position a modern video. Benevolent take: It got us talking about it, which is the aim of marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's an amusing fun video, and strikes a balance with the Rosie ones, based on the view that where some don't think those are serious enough, you have this one where some people can take themselves too seriously!

Breacher Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Sex sells. Always has and always will. Whether its the girl in this example or the guys being ogled by the ladies in the diet coke adverts. This is how advertising works. Be it guns, cars, perfume or any other product. I cannot see it changing anytime soon ! I certainly dont get sand in my manjina when I see a male being sexualised in an advert or marketing............
