South Korea’s largest dairy producer has faced furious backlash after its latest advertisement featured a man secretly filming a group of women — who were then depicted as cows.

The ad ends with the words “Clean water, organic feed, 100 percent pure Seoul Milk. Organic milk from an organic ranch in the pleasant nature of Cheongyang.”

But this isn’t the first time the milk maker has come under fire for a tone-deaf campaign.

In 2003, an ad featured naked women scraping yogurt off each other at an event to promote the launch of their new products.

I missed that one.

Me too.

Would have been even worse if they substituted licking for scraping. Yes.

I'm going to take a shower now.

I breastfed eight kids and jokingly called them teats.
The commercial was kind of boring. I was hoping it would have been funny.
