It's fair to say that the battle-hardened esatonians are not easily shocked or offended. Nevertheless, we feel that we must express our dismay at a Vodfone Live! advert which appeared in some of today's UK national papers.

On the surface, it seems plausible enough - a free video messaging phone with all the usual gratis bits and bobs. However, it's not entirely clear what message Vodafone was intending to convey with the rather startling image accompanying the ad. By the shocked look on the poor girl's face, she has inadvertently picked an inopportune moment to wander onto the set of some hideous Swedish smut production, and has paid the price.

If Voda was intending to create a bit of pre-Xmas mobile excitement with the snap, then we reckon it's missed a trick. After all, the full strapline should clearly read: "Free video messaging phone: because Santa comes just once a year".

Oh nothing really, just something I saw in a film once.

I must have seen that too.

Yeah but when i saw the title "xmas comes early for a girl" and the pic then i thought she had got an early "gift" if you know what i mean

Only people that have 'seen the film' know what i mean

The thought came in my mind as well. Are you talking about a particular film or in general as there are a few out there
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose
