Who was invented Letterpress printing? Gutenberg or Bi Sheng?

Letterpress printing

Johannes Gutenberg

Bi Sheng

Thanks in advance.

im pretty sure it was guttenberg

Insofar as reusable metal or wood block type is concerned, it was Gutenberg. Bi Sheng used clay type which would not stand a lot of pressure.

The Gutenberg press is the precursor of modern printing.

MEN PAY ATTENTION

If you’re male and pale it’s ok to take the piss out of you especially in adverts.You’re portrayed as thick, smelly, dirty and ignorant, and compared to pigs Gorillas etc.Women and Blacks wouldn’t put up with it so why should you.

Here are some adverts to watch out for.
Renault Cleo (size matters she gets hold of the gear stick) Toyota Yaris (some guy always gets it) Freeserve (Tiny amount label stuck on his genitalia) Yellow pages ( only men need it because they can’t do anything right)
AA (you get seen more quickly if you are female) Sheila’s wheels, diamond Insurance (Cheaper for women) Specsavers (all the men have got it wrong ) also all their shop assistants are female.
All the white male bank managers are thick and out to fiddle you, all the females and blacks are good. Yes car credit (sorry mate you’re not worth it) Mint car credit (some guy getting it again) Thompsons local Cat(female) wins over dog (male) Onka (pink room female or stink room male ) Mayonaisse (big dollop or little squirt) Flash (it’s now pink so better) Lager ( he gets beaten up by female doctor or old woman for delivering lager)
British gas (it’s always the guy who gets drenched etc)
Others to Watch for Coral (Gorilla’s in the mist) Guiness (she pulls seat way from him) McVities white chocolate biscuits) Oust, Airwick, Martini, Bounty (men dressed as woman) Mr muscle, DFS (she knows better than salesman)
Car advert, two girls looking for car, Stated that the car was too small to fit boyfriends head in. Car advert (young girl throws snowball hits man in genitalia. What does it have to do with a car? Petite filois, Thompson’s local, ( she wipes seat and leaves him to bang his head) Haribo, Nimble, Maltesers Burger king ice cream, Man dressed as half woman stockings suspenders gets hit on face with rake, hit in privates, why.
RSPCA NSPCC (Infer that cruelty is always a man ) and what about the preferences to men i.e. Boddingtons, Continental chocs, Oven chips, Onka, Yoghurt, Shampoo, Muller lite. Oatibix! well what can you say? Men too thick to realize.
Surf TCP, Babybel, Heaven chocolates , Seabrooks, Starburst choozers Capital one is the worst culprit , all their adverts are anti male, she’s dragging interest about (White male of course ) While she beats an arm wrestler, a hockey player etc. then she loses interest and dumps him in the bin. that's just their latest one, what about him with big nose sneezing and blasting her parents, or the one where he ends up hanging from an advertisment sign.
Just to name a few there are more. Fruit sweet (he gets a big dollop of splurge on him) Vanish oxy Trust pink (does that mean don’t trust blue) Virgin money (crabs dumped in his bathtub or beaten up by Mexicans)
RAC Vinny Jones Quorn (what a surprise a man can cook, but she’ll stab him with a fork) Soap powder (young boy dipped in fully clothed to soak and hung out to dry) Young boy going round sniffing freshly laundered clothes, Nicorette (he gets beaten up by females) Coral (he gets locked out while the rest enjoy) Norwich union (he bumps his car ,burns chops ) Toothpaste advert (she turns on cold water while he’s in shower why?)
Tampax (what has a man and a moth got to do with it) or his flies undone there is always some gratuitous remark/accident /disaster befalling men that has nothing to do with the plot.
And what about the men dressed as women (Celebrations,Woolworths, Bounty.) Germs, Plaque.Gremlins, Dirt, Bad smells, Nicotine, Dandruff, Idiots, are all male, and you lick plates clean, eat out of doggie bowls, use credit cards as spoons. and what about the programs. something about Miriam (where they set up dates for men knowing that Mirium is really a man) Naked Elvis ( Introduced by some dimwitted female, he ends up starkers win or lose. Men who like fat women, men who dress in nappies, The honey trap (similar to Mirium) Dating games where the unwanted male is pushed into a swimming pool, (try that the other way round)
Would you get away with dressing up the female genitalia and asking her boyfriend to identify her from the others. and don’t try to puff your chest out to impress ,You’re laughable, and sex with you only lasts two minutes. are you a man or a Mousse.
On the other hand everything the woman does is great she is special, a goddess, Venus, Worth it, Great in black. we have programs like Women on top, Today’s woman, What a woman wants, Surprise your woman.
And she can Push in and use the male toilet, cook porridge in the store microwave, walk across finished concrete without apology, throw newspaper at boy and knock him off his bike, crash through barriers,tread on snails, Spill wine, scratch cars with keys, Build shelves while he is still looking for screw driver, sort out the cities electricity because the male electrician can’t do it, reverse her car into a car length (now they are fantasizing).
Female heroines beat up guys Lara Croft etc a

I detest adverts and never ever watch them I shut my eyes tight.

To be fair I couldn't really give a ****. No offence to yourself in saying that as you're spot on. I think us men are about the only ones left who won't take offence to being portrayed as something we're not in order for a company to sell a product. Too much political correctness in the world today and it's bull, everybody needs to be able to laugh at themselves once in a while but unfortunately no more as we may cause offence.
TV Execs, Keep em coming I say

Maybe 90% of men are ridiculous? Seriously I think you are being slightly paranoid here.

as a guy, I'm not insecure so I dont give a s**t,
let them make money and portray us as stupid.
people need to be smart looking at those ads
