What do you see?

Here is a picture Audi posted on their twitter, they had to take it down.



People complained that is was inappropriate.

Can you guess why?

I'm not posting the answer because I'm curious it anyone else sees it, because I didn't.

Something women with "yummy mummy" in their twitter bio will get outraged about.

Well, if we are to take what a forum member tells us as true, that kid is holding pure poison in her mitt and if she eats it all manner or dire consequences will follow, it's all them carbs and don't she know that there's about 50 spoons of sugar in it?

says more about the complainwers than the advert

[Petingo]

What is the point of it, though?

What message are they trying to convey?

Seeing a child leaning against a car in the pose of a grown woman whilst about to put a banana in her mouth (and we know what the connotation is there) would not induce ol’ Pet to buy said car.

And to be honest, I am not normally to be found among the ranks of the Recreationally Offended Community but the more I look at that image the more disturbing I find it.

What the heck were here parents thinking, letting their kinder get involved in that?

What do you mean, Bird?

Who says that?

Ol’ Pet wouldn’t let a day go by without eating at least one and a half bananas.

A stupid ad, because the kid adds nothing to trying to sell a car. The people who get offended on behalf of someone else will lap it though.

[JimmyDee]

It was DESIGNED to set off a Twitter-storm of disapproval. Loads of publicity, job done.

It's part of a campaign to present the A4 as a family car, they have pictures of different members of the 'family' and the car to convey that.
I'd imagine the parents were thinking it's a standard modelling gig.

To me, it's picture of a cute kid.

What I failed to see was a child eating a banana was a metaphor for paedophilia and oral sex. If you (not you pet) see a picture of a child eating a banana and your first thought is oral sex you probably need to reflect on that.

You probably should ask yourself whether you're a paedo.

So what do you think the significance of the banana is, then?

Why not have her eating an apple or a pear?

And why is she posed in that stance?

When did you ever see a child stood like that against the front grill of a car like that?

Don’t think for one moment the ad agency people and their Audi paymasters didn’t have the same debate about it we are having here.

And then went right ahead and commissioned it.

So perhaps Jimmy is right....that it is one of those ads which the marketeers know will get pulled but are more interested in the publicity it generates as a result of the controversy.

BTW.....you say it it is part of an overall portfolio depicting other family members.

I would love to see how the mother is depicted.

Would you post that please, V?

[Zambo]

A totally innocent photo, with a young girl asked to eat a banana leaning against a car. I'm glad I lived the majority of my life when I didn't have to put up with this shite. I'd hate to be born now into a world where people are petrified of doing something which will offend the fucking weirdos.

ALL of the ads that are pulled are deliberate.

Then news channels cover the product for free.

Exactly, Innkeeper.

Faux outrage from the recreationally offended, robust defence from the faux libertarians.

That is exactly the reaction they were aiming for.
