Volkswagen and Philadelphia cream cheese ads banned over gender stereotypes

An advertisement juxtaposing male astronauts with a woman sitting by a stroller, and another depicting two hapless dads, are the first casualties of a British ban on gender stereotypes in advertising.

The ads, for Volkswagen and Philadelphia cream cheese, were investigated by the UK Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) after viewers complained they perpetuated gender stereotypes.

When Galileo dropped two rocks from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the lighter rock hit the ground at the same time as the heavier rock.

Galileo did not accuse the lighter rock of being racist, but he did call it Fredo. The rock, being as dumb as a rock, did not realize it was being insulted.

I couldn’t see what the ads were, because of longrunning script.

The first amendment prevents the government from prohibiting free speech. The SJW crowd will still influence company ads in the most stupid way possible.

This is in the UK - coming to the US soon, I would imagine.

Already here. When's the last time you saw a white male portrayed in a positive manner in a commercial?

We're made to look like ogre's, goof's and worthless. The blackification and womanization of TV is complete. It's a total wasteland of political correctness.

Great story, except I would have gone a bit further and said, “The rock being as dumb as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...,” which I think conveys a suitable level of dumbfounding dumbitude.

Yeah.

I assume your question is purely rhetorical.
