Censoring the discriminated against blonde beautiful women
Regular readers may remember a couple of months ago Mumbrella reported on a scrap yard’s billboard featuring a blonde bikini clad woman which fell foul of the Ad Standards Board because the image had “no relevance to the product”.
At the time the owner of St George Metal Recovery complained the decision amounted to “discrimination against blonde beautiful women”, an issue Dr Mumbo understands the UN is currently holding a commission into.
Well, it seems they undertook to change the wording on the board. But, instead of going to the cost of getting a whole new ad designed and printed they decided it was easier just to use stickers saying “censored” over the offending parts of the text.
Touche, scrap yard owner.
I think blondes deserve to be recognised as the goddesses in nature that many societies are in awe of (including Aztecs). Thus when images of blondes are on billboards, they are messages from God that the product is the go.
Good thing the bIllboard was in Rockdale rather than somehwere in the middle east. Could have been a fatwa.
Oh, look, some naughty boy has drawn a semi naked (semi dressed is no better) young blonde woman on a scrap metal billboard.
We must stop naughty boys from drawing rude nasty pictures said Nannie., unless they can prove that the scrap yard is recycling barbie dolls, or that the business is owned by a blonde beautiful woman, then they are guilty of “no relevance to the product”.
Forget “no relevance to the product,” what about poor taste, banal and infantile motivation, or straight out low brow, low wattage thinking?
What? Oh no law against that …sorry , didn’t know.
What is beauty?
The Ad Stanards Board should be ashamed of themselves. That young woman has a right to earn her living using the talents she possesses, and discriminating against her on the basis of those talents is unacceptable.
Do we ban bagpipe players because they make offensive noises? No.
This young woman is giving pleasure to all who see her. She and the ad should be celebrated – not condemned by jealous people who (obviously) don’t look like her.
This is the same Ad Standards board that decided that it didn’t have a problem with women in Bondage gear being in an ad for tyres?
Using the logic that their bondage gear was made of rubber – and the tyres were made of rubber too?
And that was enough to make their appearance ‘relevant’ to the product?
It’s curiously inconsistent.
Seriously, someone had taken offence to this. They should watch more of News Headlines there is plenty of things in the world that need attention before a billboard of a pleasant looking person selling a product.
