I've seen this advert play on Channel Four a number of times and find it more and more shocking after each occasion. It's 2012 yet somehow poisoning one's husband to death is not only seens as acceptable, but it's hilarious if it's becasue he cheated.
You can contact the Advertising Standards Authority here to ask why adverts condoning and mocking domestic violence are on tv.

I wonder if they will do that other really funny one where the Husband comes home to find the wife has gone with another bloke, denies him access to his kids and expects all his money and things. He then beats her to death and sets fire to her too an amusing comedy soundtrack?
That would be okay wouldn't it?

Looks like I was not the only one who noticed that Dr Who crap:
"’Weak and ‘strong’; it’s a translation! Translated from the base code of nature itself. You and I, Cyril, we’re weak but she’s female! More than female, she’s Mum! How else does life ever travel than mothership?!"

I'm sure that Stoke man who's curry was poisoned by his wife leaving him blind and permanently brain damaged will see the funny side...

Will she get LIFE like a man would or will we here yet another abortion of the criminal justice system and a "get out of jail free or early card" like post natal depression or some other woman drivel?
