Check Out How This Volvo Ad Was Run in America vs Poland

Posted on 05/19/2019 2:04:48 AM PDT by vannrox



The Swedish car company Volvo this week shared two similar looking ads on Facebook -- one to their main page and one to their Polish page -- which had one glaring difference.

In the post on their main page, the ad showed two homosexual men holding hands in front of a little girl driving a Volvo toy truck.

The ad copy reads: "Focus on your career, or your family? From now on you can do both at Volvo Cars, because we offer employees within the EMEA region six months of paid parental leave, regardless of gender. Read the full story here: http://bit.ly/2V5cZAY"The comment section was filled with Poles laughing about the difference between the two ads.



According to Google Translate, the top comment reads: "Well done to you that you do not duplicate this sick scheme from the official VOLVO website."

Volvo needs to die. Economically of course.

So tired of faggotry being portrayed as a good thing. It isn’t!

Leigh Moynihan recently joined Volvo Car USA as Director of Marketing. Very little web presence.

The customer is always right? Volvo Will Limit Its Cars' Top Speeds To 112 MPH https://www.npr.org/2019/03/04/700007943/slow-down-volvo-will-limit-its-cars-top-speeds-to-112-mph ...because THEY know what's right!

How many Germans are going to buy Volvos knowing that minivans are going to blow by them on the Autobahn?

Volvo supports faggots buying children.

I read somewhere (no doubt on FR) that men that were granted paternity leave ended up wanting fewer children!

Nope. It's not the "Marketing manager" at Volvo. It's the Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Volvo.

Eric Way - Director of Diversity and Inclusion - Volvo

The guy on the left with his mouth wide open.

He’s astonished.

“The guy on the left with his mouth wide open. He’s astonished.”

No, his jaw just hasn’t relaxed yet from the morning’s activities.

Volvos are beyond the means of most Americans anyway; they are appealing to 1%ers.

If the market place was rational, they’d already be out of business. Who in their right mind buys one of those over priced, unreliable pieces of crap?

Except for their big trucks and heavy equipment, the rest of the Volvo lineup is metrosexual vehicles. The trucks and equipment come from their purchase of White several years ago.

I note that the kids are crash test dummies. See the photometrology targets on the sides of their cars?

I know a couple that bought a used car for their daughter when she started driving; for safety they can’t be beat (but they sacrifice appearance, so kids don’t like them). Also, they offer safety for children, and that isn’t a priority for most Americans anymore.
