And the most sexist 2011 Cannes Lion winner is...

(click ad, via) ...Kitadol menstrual relief pills. Because, yes, us men are WAR HEROES for—month-in, month-out—doing battle with the enemy: OTR women. Ad won a Press Silver Lion.  Ad agency: Prolam Y&R, Chile, who have a history of producing sexist ads for Kitadol (examples one, two, three). All four of these Kitadol ads, by the way, were created by all-male creative teams.

Shitty, offensive, and mistargeted. A trifecta of failure.

Insulting your target audience is a bad move.

Unless your target audience is a bunch of male judges at Cannes of course.

Fucking brilliant. If you are a man and find this offensive you need to go home and shave your pussy.

I agree with the first brave, anonymous commenter. Men who find trashy, sexist, unintelligent humour offensive are all less manly in a multitude of ways. I bet
those pussies do pussy stuff like helping their kids with homework and cooking dinner when their wives are in huge amounts of pain. What a bunch of pussies. Right on brave, manly anonymous commenter @ 9:14pm.

As a creative in healthcare, dealing in women's health, and no I'm not condoning chauvinism, but this is what we wish we could say sometimes! Both male and female!

Oo and Anon 9:14.

targeting these products to "manly" men is unbelievably idiotic.
do men in those ads look manly to you? they look more like bunch of losers.
so how is that for "taking it manly"?
