Apparently you have to pretty much write (joke) on an advert now to stop someone being offended.

Yesterday a Scottish bloke was outraged that they had used a model in ripped jeans to advertise a women's version of a football shirt.

 

Optimistic as ever

The list of the perennially offended grows ever longer. What was a mildly amusing advert has been interpreted as some kind of hate campaign aimed at people who can't get a boy/girlfriend.

Why the giddy f*ck are the Financial Conduct Authority involved?

Don't know how you're not offended. The advert is clearly racist.

Modern advertising.

Create advert
Create controversy/debate about the advert
Brand recognition

and in the case of Gillette, brand boycotting. Not very clever sometimes, are they ?
