What do you see?

The world is her oyster, so to speak.

Does she prefer oysters ... or snails?

Ha! Or fried crickets.

They've suspended the campaign so the other images aren't available yet. Although they've started reposing the child image so the rest should be along shortly.

So, they took a bunch of pictures of various family members and the first and thus far only one they have released is of that little girl?

Yeah right......if you think that picture was not meant to garner publicity by creating controversy then you are very naive.

And you fell right into their trap by coming onto a message board, posting the picture and starting a conversation about it.

Well done, Audi.

(or more specifically the ad agency who dreamed the idea up)

What's more likely.

a) Audi said 'hey we want to promote the A4 as a family car, can we take some pictures of atypical family using the A4 and post them on social media?'

or

b) Audi said 'hey, how can we use paedophilia as a marketing technique?'

I'm going to go A all day, every day.

Yes, you would have to.

You have dug you yourself in too deeply now with your faux outrage at the faux outrage on Twitter.

And you need to ask yourself why they decided to post a picture they knew with 100% certainty would create controversy and that they would pull pretty quickly, when they allegedly have pictures of a grown up man and woman already in the can.

I suspect no such other pictures exist...that the one picture you posted is the height of it and that having got their free publicity, Audi will let the matter drop.

You are deluded, as Vespa has alluded to I dont think sexualising (if that's a word) children is a great marketing ploy

[Eaststand]

They havent.

theyve weaponised outrage for publicity, for free. Everyone thinks anyone who saw that and got outraged is a paedo or a moron and are on audis side.

Its very clever marketing.

Why do you think I'm outraged by people who see a picture of a child with a banana and they immediately think of oral sex?

hint: I'm not, just bemused by it.

[Sid Pervcat]

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.

This.
Although Audi knew 100% that people would be wetting themselves with faux outrage and are now wallowing in loads of extra publicity.

On a more important note. Would anyone recommend the car?

Overpriced.

Decent though.

[Eaststand]

no, theyre great cars, but if it goes wrong, almost everything big needs the engine out because theyre badly thought out, and it can get very expensive

[Kowalski]

The paedo market is untapped and they saw it's potential.

Nothing wrong with that.

[birdie]

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.

Lots of stupid or controversial ads about, Do you remember (mebbe you are too young) that Benetton advert showing a new born baby about 1 minute old with the cord attached and not even having it's face, let alone it's body, cleaned. Never did understand what connection that had to the Colours of Benetton.

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?

The answer here - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... anana.html

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

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?

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.

What do you do with the other half?

Anybody that uses the term/name 'Karren' as insult is obviously new to the net.

Usually its insecure men, or young'uns trying to sound clever and edgy, who use that name in such a context.

I'll probably be banned for this post alone.

Or its just a meme about whining little twats who get offended by Everything.
