Just read what's been said FFS, people need to get a grip but I fear it's only going to get worse, this says more about the idiot thinking it than Audi imo.

"Others said the image was sexually suggestive, as bananas and sports cars have often been seen as symbols of male lust."

Paedo Audi drivers, allowing kid to have a banana

Saw this, wondered WTF all the commotion was about. People will literally take offence at anything.

"Critics said the child's pose was "provocative" and life-threatening."

#woke indeed!

It's a slippery slope!

Maybe someone can explain the ad to me. I just don't get it.

What has a child eating a banana got to do with "Lets your heart beat faster - in every aspect."

Its a very odd advert but FFS its a kid with a banana. If people see anything sexual in that then they have a problem.

This bit.

I just see it as a family car that is high performance so makes your heart beat faster or something like that :

And DjBeeTee tweeted: "Let's add it up: Red=eroticism, sports car=substitute for potency, animal print mini-skirt=sex appeal, banana=phallic symbol. But sure this is all just accidental..."

Fuck. Right. Off.

If that’s what you see in the advert then you need to seek help.

Audi have lost their damn minds.

It's a very peculiar image. Slightly unsettling, the pose, the sunglasses. Just a bit weird.

I have zero interest in little girls, sunglasses, bananas or indeed Audis.

Agreed. I think 'suggestive' is a stretch. But 'weird' and 'stupid'? Definitely. You can only imagine the circle jerk that signed off on that as a great bit of creative. Deserves to get pulled just for being shit.

Its an RS4. Is there anything else in the picture....

[TiredGeek]

I think she's holding it back 'cos the electric handbrake has failed...

Typical millennial snowflake twitterstorm by the look of it. The generation that finds offence in everything.

God help them if something bad should ever happen.

Apart from a pandemic obviously, cos they don't seem to give a shit about that

We should have a thread where we randomly post inoffensive pictures and you have to find offence with it.

Disturbing lack of transgender people in this picture.

If that banana wasn’t sustainably sourced then I shall be complaining to the BBC. And if it doesn’t meet EU bendiness regulations, doubly so

That ad just says 'wrong' to me. It was obviously meant to be innocent/cool, but in reality there are too many sexual/power associations there. And they used a minor for good measure.
