>Great Grass defended it, stating that it could “equally be a man or a transgender person” in the image.
There’s no need to lie.
They’ll get more brand awareness from the PR the banned advert will bring now anyway.
“I think this ad is in bad taste so I ban it”. Is this pearl clutching?
Looks like I need to find out if the ASA cover YouTube ads because if they do Card Factory are in trouble.
To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this ad. It doesn’t seem any worse than those manscaped ads or sponsorships I sometimes see.
And while I think the ad is obviously intending to depict a woman, their comment about how it could have been a man just as easily is correct, I don’t think trimming is inherently something only women do.
Are some upset it’s objectifying women, or are they upset it’s showing a women’s body? Unless it’s done under the guise of body positivity ads like this always seems to set some off.
It’s a bit rude but how is it ‘likely to cause harm’?
They’d have a heart attack over any commercial break in Italy…
We’re all fucking doomed if this is what passes as offensive now.
They need to ban artificial grass for being offensive to nature and good taste.
Ah more fuel for the culture wars. Keep yelling at clouds on Reddit lads.
What has happened to the tongue in cheek humour these days??!
Would be kind of funny if they found a skinny man with less hair on purpose and used ambiguous / possibly womens’ underwear.
They could plan for people to take offense but not tell anyone that that is the plan, then call the people who complain sexist / objectifying / transphobic or even racist if the right actor is picked. Could probably get on a bunch of talk / daytime tv shows if they played it right.
The most offensive thing is the product they’re selling. How lazy do you have to be to spend thousands turning your garden into a big green oversized doormat, instead of breaking out the lawnmower for a few minutes each month?
I don’t know if the advert or artificial grass offends me more.
Now they need to do another one with the hairiest, fattest guy they can find.
Replace it with a guy, let’s see the double standard
Have a sense of humour. t
There’s nothing more dangerous than people who take themselves too seriously, they’re the ones who entrench difference.
I drive past this advert every day to work, this has been an ongoing battle between this company and whoever keeps taking offence to it. There’s been about 4/5 different iterations of it.
Personally I find the whole thing hilarious.
If I remember correctly one of the adverts even called out the person who reported them with a bunch of laughing emojis.
It’s on the junction of Manchester road and Hollins road, in Hollinwood, Oldham.
Fuck off with your links that require me to accept cookies or pay!
How dare they assume gender of the body on the poster aye..? Isn’t that what they moan at others for?
Qh yes, I need to trim my massive hairy “grass?”! Where they’re from I’m pretty sure a woman’s pubic zone when left naturally hirsute is known as a bush traditionally. Terrible advert.
Everyone so quick to get offended for other people. Stop crying about stupid shit like this and live your own life
Manscaped ads have jokes about men’s pubes and junk all the time……
Not a fan of artificial grass but good job on a cheeky comedy advert to sell your product… and piss off a bunch thought police at the same time.
Threads like this always leave my blocklist feeling overstuffed.
Some women do put themselves out there to be objectified. You just gotta flick through TikTok or Instagram to see it. Should have left the ad, it’s funny, my wife thought it was funny and not demeaning at all. If you find it offensive, that’s a YOU problem, not the ads…..
