If you haven't seen this video, have a watch. And if you've already seen it, be like me and watch it six more times because it's screaming hilarious.

Hi , as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years . As a child I watched your advertisements with interest as to how at this wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many things ,I felt a little jealous. I mean bike riding , rollercoasters, dancing, parachuting, why couldn't I get to enjoy this time of joy and 'blue water' and wings !! Dam my penis!! Then I got a girlfriend, was so happy and couldn't wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month to happen …..you lied !! There was no joy , no extreme sports , no blue water spilling over wings and no rocking soundtrack oh no no no. Instead I had to fight against every male urge I had to resist screaming wooaaahhhhh bodddyyyyyyfooorrrmmm bodyformed for youuuuuuu as my lady changed from the loving , gentle, normal skin coloured lady to the little girl from the exorcist with added venom and extra 360 degree head spin. Thanks for setting me up for a fall bodyform , you crafty bugger
They responded with epic, EPIC fashion:
Hope your weekend is full of excellent beverages and hilarious honesty. And many, many thanks to all the lovely people who sent this in!
I love this one so much I posted it on FB. Total WIN!
Not being from the UK it took me a second or so to guess what Bodyform was. Hilarious response from the company and is that actually a company official? Love the heads-up on other natural body functions (and Brits according to Monty Python do love their fart jokes).
Awesome!!
Saw this earlier in the week but so totally worth a re-view. Fantastic. I really enjoy seeing the more clever uses of social media by companies like this one who seem to geddit and wind up making true “water cooler” Twitter-worthy content
that is truly awesome – thank you!
This is great!
This looks like a viral marketing plant from beginning to end. And it’s brilliant!
