Does this ad seem ok to you?
It’s advertising the Bavarian Bier Café – a German-style chain restaurant that has branches across Sydney.
But here’s the real kicker: not only was it advertising the restaurant, it was also, get this – attempting to raise money for a charity.
A BREAST CANCER CHARITY.
Face palm.
Using ridiculously hyper-sexualised images in 2014 is not clever or funny. It’s offensive.
Using a double-entendre to compare women’s breasts to meat is not clever or funny. It’s offensive.
And using ridiculously hyper-sexualised images and a sleazy double-entendre to advertise a restaurant AND a freaking breast cancer charity is so wrong I can’t even deal.
Every week we seem to hear of a new company offending people with dodgy ads or products.
Remember those scarily-thin Glassons mannequins with the sticky-outy ribs that caused a stir a few weeks back?
