Audi just bowed to PC culture outrage, probably because they know how far these kinds of people are willing to take things. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the advert. Anyone who sees the child holding a banana as sexually suggestive needs to get their head checked. Disgusting mentality. Everybody's looking to get offended over non-issues while the serious things get overlooked. |

If Having a female child, leaning on your car while eating a healthy food like banana is misinterpreted as perversion, I must say that the world is full of sick minds. |

That's why I love white people they read meaning to things unlike the block heads we have down here. Remembered during school days, my teacher will bring a picture to the class and ask us all to capture a meaning from the picture we saw. At times movies even when you think there ain't meaning there most definitely be one. 2 Likes |

Medunah:In this age of pedophilia, I think companies are being careful about the content they are putting out there, so it doesn't come off as suggestive, or make it look like they are encouraging grooming of kids for abuse. Even Hasbro, a US company took down a doll line today after complaints they got from some parents on why they put a button in-between the dolls legs which makes certain sounds when pressed. Personally, I feel the ad was actually unnecessary. What message were they trying to pass across? Like it or not, some fruits like bananas, cherries and cucumbers have suggestive meanings, and will always do. 1 Like |

Virtuouslife: Exactly!!! Cos there's nothing wrong with the ad. At least it was a white child....if it was a black child now....the "black lives matter crew" will take it to another level. |

Slawormir:Who won't you see wrong in this. They feel or take responsibility to protect their own from bottom to top. in Nigeria little children hawking everywhere especially on high way. Black is hard skin, maybe the reason for such mentality. |

No you need to redefine your own mind set and always look beyond the pictures. Everything is cryptic nowadays and only the brightest minds can decrypt it. That picture is also has racially biased. Why a shade of black and then eating �? |
Re: Advert Of Girl Eating Banana: Audi Apologises by ddeola: 3:58am On Aug 06, 2020 |
There's nothing wrong about this advert. If the girl was black you can say they implied something but the girl i this picture was just chilling enjoying her fruit which could have been mango or apple... |

Re: Advert Of Girl Eating Banana: Audi Apologises by jadejay: 4:02am On Aug 06, 2020 |
Xavi2019: Thank you for this. If people have been following recent happenings in the US and how the Trump administration is bringing down a massive, ancient, child sex trafficking ring involving top politicians, royalties and even hollywood, if they have seen the photos and suggestive ways these people have used in hiding this abuse on kids for years, If they have seen that these photos have always been in plain sight and only being exposed now, they will understand that this advert is inappropriate, and people have the right to question if the management of Audi isn't part of the global child sex trafficking ring 1 Like |

Cultural conditioning has turned a lot of normal harmful words and activities to felonious and suggestive ones. Also the rise in s3xual pervasions and inappropriate activities related to 53x has made hitherto harmless words become blacklisted. Some of those complaining too may have good intentions in mind. Remember than media indoctrination with subtely and subliminal messages is a proven fact. Human vices that were hitherto seen as forbidden are now gradually seen as harmless because of persistent media indoctrination that has successfully introduced that as "harmless" into people's subconscious. Some of the commenters who still like to keep their sanity intact in this anything-goes 21st century will not like to see their minds indoctrinated wrongly because they are probably well aware of the cryptics/secret messages in that picture and to whom the crypto is directed. And no, you need not be a pervert before you react to the use of such themes in public domain. You only need to consider what the public perception of the environment you are is of the theme and you will want to be careful with it. After all they say, when in Rome do like Romans do. Before now "G-a-y" was a word freely used with/to mean "happy" in sentences and is even in one children school poem and rhyme like that. But now, mere mention of that word and if your mind does not flinch from hearing it, people's head will turn in that direction. Ditto wearing shirts with beautiful colours of the rainbow. As an adolescent male, I used to have some clothings that have such beautiful colourful designs, but now I will think twice about wearing a multicoloured rainbow shirt cos before you know it, some sicko guy thinking you are his type will approach you and start toasting you A lady purchasing cucumber in a public place now may be viewed differently. Even this site is equally guilty. Censoring some words that are harmless in the context in which they are used and conditioning our minds to believe some to mean what they were not originally meant to popularly represent. For example before Naira land, J-o-y-s-t-i-c-k used to be a word loosely used to qualify the multidirectional controls of the game pads used in arcade games of those days. Now it will be hard for me to remain comfortable if an innocent young chap or an adult use that word around me. If I was to advice Audi before making that advert public, I would suggest they should be mindful of the peculiarity of the people and the public perception of the theme they are about to use and probably change the fruit to an apple rather than a banana. It may not mean much to Nigerians cos what we will see if a fine car and how we will turn heads if we ride that in our hood. I will particularly imagine love to see a lady ride in that car with her daughter in the back seat or for the two of them to go to a picnic in the ride carrying fruits to eat out. But to the average American, the theme may mean something else. It's a concept widely used in psychology to profile people. A brief flash of an image of the cross may be interpreted by someone who lives in violence prone neighbourhood or that has had near death experience related to stabbing as a knife, whereas the same image shown to a clergyman or an individual who is religious or from a peaceful neighbourhood will be seen as the crucifix. There is this video that was widely circulated on WhatsApp few weeks ago. It showed a Fulani/Hausa patient in a Nigerian clinic who was to have his temperature taken by an infra-red thermometer. It was a tug of war to calm him down to allow his temperature taken because all he could see was a white-coloured pistol trained on his forehead. An individual from other parts of Nigeria seeing such device for the first time pointed at him will immediately think of something else than a pistol. |
