Of course you haven't women grooming boys isn't important.

I'm curious how you know she's a woman from the ad. Or how you construe it as grooming.

Have you really run out of real things to be outraged by?

Along with tampons/sanitary protection & condoms.

IIRC an entire season of F1 never appeared due to one car being sponsored by the London Rubber Company.

Obviously non catholic tastes

Some of their products were a bit like wearing a boot, but Gold were pretty good.

Gambling ads were once banned from UK TV, along with ads for firearms and funeral services.

You're a bit triggered by this whole 'woke' thing it seems

I hadn't seen the JL ad getting slammed for grooming. It does feature a non-consensual kiss of a minor I suppose.

Reverse the gender and see the squeals.

It's a tossup between the Xmas ads on everything & the incredibly annoying gambling ads on Blaze as to which makes me go postal first.

Oh I thought you meant a credible source

To be fair that will just be a repeat of what randoms are saying on twatter.

You just reminded me that lots of kids where worried last year that Santa wouldn't be able to come due to Covid and lockdowns.

This ad will put all their minds at rest.

Very, me.

So, the JL ad is offensive because some see it as a reference to grooming. The Tesco ad is offensive because it talks about a mythical man having to show a QR code.
Sainsbury's was in trouble for their Christmas ad last year because it featured a black family.

Is there any way to create an advert that won't offend the easily offended those who call everyone else "woke"?

Does he wear a mask? Does it show him changing his FaceBook profile picture to "I've had my COVID vaccine?"

Apparently not, in fact nobody is following government advice to wear a mask, even on the jam-packed plane where I thought they were required.
