I started reading and thought
"That's not so bad, sometimes a banana is just a banana" then I got to the slogan they put with the advert:
"Lets your heart beat faster - in every aspect."
and yeah, that just not right.

Are people upset because their own brains
decided a girl with a banana was sexual?

^this^, so much f****king ^this^
While the advert might be ill-judged, there's a lot of foamy-mouthed ranting going on:
Provocative pose - kid leaning on car.
Banana in mouth - it's quite clearly not.
Life-threatening - not if the car's parked, which it appears to be.
The driver would not be able to see the child - if there was a driver and they couldn't see the kid they should have their license revoked immediately.
I think I'm most angry that Audi have caved in to this lot.

Plus, the parking sensor would go absolutely fucking apeshit as soon as you fired up the engine.

So the there suggesting you drive a performance car
to race your heart, in the aspect of your life which is being a parent?
That's suggesting driving dangerously! Ban this advert!

All Audi drivers are closet paedophiles.
I thought that was common knowledge.

and removing the fingerprints may remove a micron or so of the paintjob forcing the owner to consider having it redone
but does anyone in the ad department think of that , no.
Though to be fair they probably can't afford audis so clearly pay rises and company cars should be supplied to the ad department to remedy this now and for the future.

I don't know which is most pathetic:
the original knee-jerk frothing outrage, the knee-jerk frothing outrage in this thread over the original knee-jerk frothing outrage, or my knee-jerk frothing outrage in this post over the knee-jerk frothing outrage in this thread over the original knee-jerk frothing outrage.
