The Gents is designed differently so probably not. I wonder who they are aiming the advertising at? Presumably it is aimed at women since the ads were in the Ladies, but if that is the case they are getting it wrong big style. My daughter 19 said that anything which portrayed young women as 'bimbos' would get a very negative response from her. My mum 76 agreed and addrd that it was very insulting to older women too, because it shows the older woman burning undre the dryer. My mum said she may be old, but she is not stupid and she would have complained (and moved) long before she burned!
