Millions of dollars spent in advertising suggests that they must have known that this will cause an uproar. My take is that this was done deliberately to generate controversy and put the name lf the company on everyone's lips- kardashian style.

Time shall come when, even if you eat a mango or pawpaw (papaya), some people would still think you are eating pússy or sucking dïck..
Right now in our present world, a lady buying cucumber in the market is no longer a normal thing. Likewise a guy buying oranges or whole-watermelons.
Oohh, imagine what people will be thinking when they see someone licking stick ice-cream.

It would have been much better if de girl posed inside de car probably sitting at de drivers' seat with all de doors open and placing one of her hands on de steering than eating de banana. Children like holding de steering and dragging drivers seat cheesy

The intention of the advert was to show that even children can lean (figuratively) on Audi.

In other words, the advert is telling us that even children can find Audi dependable. Something that you can lean on is something that gives you support. Something that you can depend on.

Your own suggestion of having the girl sit at the driver's seat will mess up the intent of the advert. It would not make any important sense.

The girl is white and 5 years old.

If anyone thinks this is racist or sexual then they have serious mental problems.

The chosen FRUIT is the problem. Not the girl's colour or age.

Thank you for this. If people have been following recent happenings in the US and how the Trump administration is bringing down a massive, ancient, child sex trafficking ring involving top politicians, royalties and even hollywood, if they have seen the photos and suggestive ways these people have used in hiding this abuse on kids for years, If they have seen that these photos have always been in plain sight and only being exposed now, they will understand that this advert is inappropriate, and people have the right to question if the management of Audi isn't part of the global child sex trafficking ring
Exactly, it's very inappropriate. And about this child sex trafficking ring I'm looking forward to see how it ends, I suspect Ghislaine Maxwell will be silenced too, just like Epstein, because too many socialites are involved in this mess.

ExAngel007:
German carmaker Audi has apologised for an ‘insensitive’ advert showing a little girl leaning on the front of a high-performance car while she eats a banana.



The advert, promoting the Audi RS 4 Avant, was posted on the company’s official Twitter account and attracted criticism from some social media users who described it as “sexually suggestive”, “strange” and “creepy”.

Critics also suggested the advert glorifies “dangerous driving” and shows a child at risk of being run over.

Audi said the advert was a “mistake”, tweeting that such mistake would not be made in future.

Their Twitter Statement Read;



“We hear you and let’s get this straight: We care for children. The Audi RS 4 is a family car with more than thirty driver assistance systems including an emergency break system. That’s why we showcased it with various family members for the campaign.

We hoped we could convey these messages, showing that even for the weakest traffic participants it is possible to relaxingly lean on the RS technology. That was a mistake! Audi never intended to hurt anyone’s feelings.

We sincerely apologize for this insensitive image and ensure that it will not be used in future.

We will also immediately examine internally, how this campaign has been created and if control mechanisms failed in this case. “


However, other social media users said they could not see what was “offensive” or “provocative” about the advert.

See More Reactions Below;


@Holly__Storm: Right, so for all the banally, but thankfully morally minded people saying “you need yer head lookin at” if anyone sees this as wrong etc, there’s something called cultural conditioning. You see it with things which seems mildly offensive or inappropriate, but are overlooked a

@FoxxysTweets: The problem is not with the advert or a girl eating a banana, its the friggin sickos who see a young girl eating a banana and their minds go to sex.

@DipBrig11: Apologised? How the hell us this ‘sensitive? It’s a child eating a banana. What sickos see anything else??

@Calvinroche1: I’m offended by this…how dare people not be offended by this content…utterly disgraceful…Audi should be liquidated for this behaviour

people always looking for a reason to be offended.

What's wrong with this pix, its beautiful.

Anyone criticising it is sick, why don't they speak against pictures of nude women licking bananas.

The handiwork of Audi competitors.
