Racism sexism and fat shaming all in the top 5, and all aimed at women.... says a lot!

Does somebody whip you bloody if you fail? No? False advertising.

No words.

I thought this was a clip from the "Blurred Lines" music video... same message tho

This just cheap and nasty

So where were the parents when this was happening???

I wondered how long it was before the sexism began....

It should've been the other way around. The gay son needs a strong heart because apparently his dad is a homophobic a-hole

I found this one reallly funny, tbh.

Please, PLEASE stop trying to make "unalive" a word. "Kill" is a verb, whether or not BP's censors and others like it "unalive" is an abomination that doesn't even work as a verb. I don't know who came up with it, but ffs, someone stop them.

This ad was not received poorly overall, it just had very vocal opposition in the USA from an extremely small group of internet activists led by UK-based bloggers Holly Brockwell and Ben Goldacre. Hyundai quickly decided to recall the ad because this kind of ads are not aimed at direct sales of vehicles (their fuel-cell car sales were below 1000 units/yr) but at company-image building. Any kind of counter-campaign would harm the brand more than any good the ad would do.

Suicide is not a joke. Hyundai doesn't save lives.

I hate the word unalive with a burning passion

"Unalive" must the the stupidest word ever. Grow some guts BP

‘Unalive’ is not offensive, but suicide is? (Sue uh side.)

nope not funny

Like the episode of South Park where Cartman tried to kill himself the same way but it didn't work because his mom's car was a hybrid

Honestly this ones kinda funny

what the hell is "unalive"??? do you mean Kill??

It may be distasteful to many but I think these ads should be allowed here. We really are so pathetically sheltered! Besides how else will I know I'll have to use a Honda to complete my plan!

I can't stand this "unalive" BS. Sounds so dumb. Why not just say "kill", geeh!?

If they wanted to focus on the point that the car is safer, why not show a dog accidentally trapped in the garage with a car that was left running. It would emphasize that fumes are not toxic without exploiting depression for marketing purposes. (Though showing dog owners being that careless, creates a different set of problems, but I assume the advertisers wanted something more memorable than "look at our car driving around beautiful forests while a narrator talks about preserving nature").

English just died today...

this one isn't as bad it's literally just advertising the safety

I remember seeing this ad, I was like ummm what 🤨

Good to know!!! Horrible.

This one get a pass, I chuckled.

That famous bored panda unalive instead of....

Ha!

Unalive himself? Imma use that from now on. It's funny.

suicide. The biggest middle finger to anyone who cares about you., that you could possibly pull off.

Just shows how out of touch (with reality ironically) these guys really are!!

Sometimes no Ad is better

How many people does this have to get past??? Nobody thought this was a bad idea???

Alright, sure mate, I that's what you want to believe

These were sent to members of the press as part of a press package. They immediately asked for the back. Possession is illegal in most states. In some states, shipping is illegal.

Context?

Consider at the time there was a sensible social issue about immigrants trying to cross the Channel by jumping on the back of trucks while they were waiting for boarding in France and Belgium. It was a risky move for the stowaways (some tried to hitch a ride in a refrigerated truck and died of hypothermia, some were killed while jumping on the moving trucks, or tried to hang to the underside of the trailer and were crushed when falling under the wheels). It was a real problem for truckers, who could be arrested and tried for aiding illegal immigration or even for human trafficking, despite them not being complicit or even aware of the presence of stowaways. It was also common to access the cargo space by cutting through the trailer side, en expensive damage, and often whatever cargo was inside was spoiled (such as foodstuff being eaten or thrown out to aid other crossers, crates used as toilets or opened to look for stuff to steal).

What the hell is even with this picture?? What does it have to do with gaming?

Some of these are reaching hard 🫤

I think this could well have been a provocative joke that was never intended to discriminate against women, but the exact opposite. After all, the post takes this outdated phrase and reinterprets it in a positive way. I think it's hard to tell exactly what was meant. But it's often very easy to say that something was meant to be sexist.

This happened 4 years after the bombing, the message was well intended but poorly worded. It is very common to brag about "surviving" a marathon among runners, they failed to connect the tone of the message with the past of the specific event. They quickly apologized and admitted the mistake.

Y’all saying genterfication are good either don’t know what it is, or are a******s. The issue is that after these people come and “make places better” the poor people can’t afford to live there anymore, food rent, it all becomes to expensive and people are forced to move and it is truly f****d up.
