This print ad for Today FM's Dermot & Dave is picking up a lot of flak
A PRINT AD for Today FM’s new lunchtime show Dermot & Dave featuring the faces of the two presenters superimposed on a bra has come in for criticism.
The ad, with the hashtag #DoubleD, has been described by many on social media as “crass” and “outdated”.

Defending the ad, a spokesperson for Today FM told us:
Despite the criticism, the ad seems to have done little to temper people’s excitement for the return of Dermot & Dave, who left 98FM to take over Today FM’s lunchtime slot.
Whoops!
