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.

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 After all, the post takes this outdated phrase and reinterprets it in a positive way.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.

Plan a super COVID spread, yay! Is Boris invited?

I don't think they intended to be malicious.....would it have had a different reaction of it had said 'son'? When I was a child, I was asked to do the washing up....it's just chores that children do. But this is just my opinion.....not looking to start any arguments :)

The icecream impregnated her? The icecream gets you laid? I'm more offended by the ad not making sense than the religious mockery tbh

This one reminds me a bit of the "shock ads" by Bennetton in the 90s. They did their fair share of over-the-top posters like bloody bullet-riddled shirts or dying AIDS patients, but the one that nearly got them banned in Italy was of a priest and a nun kissing.

I love it. I have no problem mocking religion.

This one I find kinda funny

Immaculate conception refers to Mary'a conception being free of original sin and not her conception with Jesus. But the Apocrypha has that Mary's parents Anne and Joachim (I wish more people knew Jesus' granddaddy was named Joachim) were infertile and conceived without sexual intercourse. Mary's conception and the concept of personal sin vs original sin was a huge debate in the Middle Ages as the belief was that sex was inherently sinful ergo no conception via sex could not have sin attached. Hence the idea that Mary's parents divinely conceived a child without sex. However that is not a widespread belief and IIRC the story of Anne and Joachim only appears in the Gospel of James. So... it's debatably not wrong to refer to immaculate conception as conception without sex.

Isn't that entire religion founded on the idea of a virgin getting pregnant though?

"religious mockery"? Where did this happen? I'm feeling the need for some tourism...

Not that bad tbh

its sinfully delicious

This I approve of

So she got knocked up by icecream? Good thing I'm lactose intolerant and have not baby bedroom anymore.

To all the people that reported my post and made the automated system ban me (just for saying religion should be mocked) - just wanted to to say hello, and nice try

ads banned for religious mockery? Aww, did some institution get their feelings hurt?

People like to make fun of Christianity a lot… but what if this ad was doing the same thing but with Islam?

We need more of these ads. If the vicars were f*****g nuns instead of choirboys the world would be a better place.
