I see nothing wrong in this advert.......
Re: Advert Of Girl Eating Banana: Audi Apologises by Nobody: 10:34pm On Aug 05, 2020
Audi has gotten what they want cheaply without spending much, which is "attention." Scripted marketing strategy with the girl parents' approval. It's a fast and cheap deal!

Bananas attracts monkeys, literally means what?? Think.

There is nothing wrong with the ad. However, Audi is still very stupid for such an ad. Why will you have a little girl stand in front of a car as ad. Safety-wise that doesn't make sense. Why not have her sit at the back and strapped with the seat belt while she looks through the window and enjoy her banana. Ads like this will make young kids go stand in front of their parent's cars just to mimick the ads.......its dangerous biko.

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.

@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

Eating food is now sexualised because of woke people.


The people who should apologise for sexualising a child are the ones forcing Audi to apologise. Wahala dey o.

As a father of three, all of my kids love bananas. And they ask for them all the time. Seeing a kid with a banana looks like everyday life to me. If that's suggestive to you, and all it makes you think about is sex, I pray you never have kids.

Re: Advert Of Girl Eating Banana: Audi Apologises by chachanga: 10:51pm On Aug 05, 2020
The confused bizarre product of liberalist media mind conditioning... Every mind woke-mad and triggered over non-issues twisted out of context.

And this is mostly what globalist media's pushing out on gullible world societies for their social engineering which interestingly enough is being swallowed unchecked by Naija Twitter woke id1ots.

Anyway, hope they're happy now, a kid can't even eat a fruit in peace. undecided

Do you know the meaning of racism undecided?

I personally do not see any reason for the
outrage, is a child not allowed to eat fruit? This is what happens when we sexualize a lot things
