walshie 2,804 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 So is the person complaining trying to say the kid looks like a monkey? Obviously the advertising company didn't think that. These do-gooders are so racist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollieollie 766 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just now, Welsh_red said: What amount of idiots didn't see there being problems putting that advert out Lots of very well paid idiots This kind of thing highlights many problems we have in this messed up world, the liberal bandwagon protecting people who neither need or want protecting, forcing us to make sure anything we do meets a long list of criteria so's not to offend any particular strand of society, convincing people things are racist when they're not thus feeding this kind of irrational national atmosphere... i could go on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
