LEINSTER have today told Hunky Dorys that “respect” needs to be shown to Irish rugby as the ‘Are You Looking At My Crisps?’ controversy rumbled on.

With 72 hours to go until the Blues’ Heineken Cup semi-final in Toulouse, Leinster rowed firmly in behind the IRFU, who have attacked the billboard campaign, which they say is illegal.

An IRFU spokesperson told the Herald today that it is now pursuing legal action against Hunky Dorys’ parent company, Largo Foods.

The controversial ads (pictured right) have been causing a stir for their use of scantily clad models to promote crisps — however, the main grievance is that they claim to be the ‘Proud Sponsors of Irish Rugby’.

I saw this on the front page of the independent so I had to look it up. In another fine article they report how Irelands ‘guilty rich’ are saving the country by spending their money on expensive knickers:

Ireland’s “guilty rich” have emerged from the financial crisis with fewer scars than feared and still have the knack of spending large amounts of money, but just that bit more quietly than they did during the boom years.

These are the same people responsible for pushing total retail sales back into positive territory for the first time since January 2008, as reported last week when the rest of us refused to spend.

Susan Hunter Lingerie, located in the Westbury Mall in Dublin, sells pure cotton and pure silk tactile underwear that women would kill to have next to their skin, but they come with a hefty price tag. A cashmere dressing gown will set you back €870.

“Women can’t be seen to be wearing bling-tastic clothes these days and are afraid to show off ostentatious wealth as they don’t want anyone to know, so they are spending as much as they want on expensive underwear which no one can see,” said owner Susan Hunter.
