Subway riders in London are outraged at Match.com ads calling freckles and different-colored eyes "imperfections."
"If you don't like your imperfections, someone else will," the ads read.
Angry Underground riders started posting photos of the ads on Twitter, calling out the dating website for "bullying."
"Lowest form of advertising @match_UK claiming freckles & eye colour make a person imperfect? profiting by bullying," writes one user.

I love red/brown hair and freckles.
I will see your micro aggression and raise you a nano aggression.
My maternal great grandmother was an immigrant from Ireland. Red hair and freckles. Kind of cool to see when and where the genetic code pops up.
Bump!
What do you call a redhead who gets angry?

Ginger snaps
I’m sure they were using the word imperfection in a facetious manner. It went right over the commuters’ heads.
Since this advert is from the UK: Well, what do you expect from a group made mostly of gingers?
/sarc off and j/k
Imagine being married to those people!
Everything a complaint.
Most people date that way these days.
Match.com’s “apology” should read:
We all at match.com have called for the sacking of the president of our ad agency, that he be publicly hanged, the whole agency disbanded, all employees sacked, their office building demolished and the earth beneath it salted. We hope this will make up in some infinitesimal amount for the gigantic offence that has been caused by the unforgivable, intemperate and mistaken use of the term “imperfection” in reference to the slight brown skin discolouration known as “freckles” in our ad campaign.
NOT!
You pansy little UK snowflakes who constantly make fun of and disparage the work of two royals, William and Harry, for putting their lives on the line representing their country in active military combat, yet you would be grievously “inconvenienced” if you had to forego your daily latte or wait a few minutes in line at the local Boots. Put on your big boy pants and buckle up. Not everything is about YOU. If an innocuous word in an advert will get your panties in a wad, then you are not deserving of benefits of those lives who were lost defending the Kingdom through the terrible destruction in World War Two and you certainly can’t hold a candle to the men and women who suffered and died so you can today have your little tantrum. Save your self-righteous indignation and just be happy that today you still speak English - or at least try to - instead of German, from their efforts. And if you are so emotionally fragile, don’t bother joining match.com, as we have no desire to have such sub-moronic IQ’s and pathological mentalities polluting and inflicted upon our strong, emotionally stable client base. Thank you.”
