Ok I can understand the likeness to a shave add or after shave but it still reaks of the sextist old days. I pray that isn't shown in public anywhere. After all I'm a female Geek and Proud of it! I want equal time! =)

Love to trade in my old company "Blue Brick" on a Turbo card . Don't suppose I could handle the speed though ! Ah well back to the old wet string and cans .

Kaja , Appreciate your comments. And you are dead right, it is a very retro... consciously... because the Rev head type name seemed to suggest it. Hard to get the balance right in one instance, but should happen over time. Happy to get suggestions. Stay proud!

I do understand it is Retro and also a bit sexist for this day and age, but I think it shows the fun side of Telstra and not the serious side we always see. It would be good to see a couple more of these style of adds, they stick in your mind and are not irritating like so many adds these days. If we could all (as a society) get over the political correctness of everything then we could all have a bit more fun and laugh at ourselves, and then these quirky, funny adds could breath some more life into us.
