I had to go to our local shopping centre this morning and when I went to the Ladies there was an advert for bingo on the inside of the cubicle door. This one was for wink bingo and it made me feel so cross. It was a picture of a hairdresser who had just won online bingo while her client's head was burning under the dryer. We were expected to believe that she was playing on her laptop while neglecting her customer. What sort of message does that give? As far as I am concerned yet again it is stereotyping bingo as only for women, but it also suggests that people who play online bingo are irresponsible 'air heads'. No wonder people don't want to admit that they enjoy bingo!
