I'd hope that they meant it to be ridiculous and outrageous and therefore no more than an attention grabbing publicity stunt. But the problem is it also works as generally sexist "sex sells" advertising, it probably will reinforce sexist attitudes amongst some people. If there weren't sexists in the world and constant sexual advertising for everything else, it would be fine, but there are so it's not.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Ride me all day!
Yeah, but kids don't get that. They see the ad and think that it's perfectly normal to talk about riding the bus in sexual terms. There's plenty of laughter in the world without publicly sexualising kids any further. Consider it's me who's saying this. I have no problem with absolutely gutter humour.tattuchu wrote:I'm much more worried that we're teaching kids not to laugh, and that every joke is offensive to someone and therefore best not told.rEvolutionist wrote:For the ones who understand it, it just reinforces the idea that it's ok to sexualise everything.

Re: Ride me all day!
It's not a very funny joke, really, is it? However, it does get noticed - which is the purpose of advertising. And, since there are versions with both male and female models holding the sign, it can't really be claimed that it objectifies women either. Older children will get the joke. Younger ones won't. That is how it is with any sexual reference in day-to-day life.
So I see nothing wrong with it.

Déjà vu.

Re: Ride me all day!
False analogy. Sleeping under bridges is something only done out of necessity and, perforce, by the poor. Using sexually attractive models and innuendo to sell merchandise is very much unisex.Hermit wrote:Déjà vu.
