God, some coonts in this world have a bit too much to complain about.

At least it didn't show them wading in the Red River or riding a pony made of cotton.

Oh come on, that was funny!!!!!!

 
HaywoodJablonski [TotalFark] 2009-01-03 08:35:19 PM  
Using crude humor usually reserved for beer ads for a product designed explicitly for women, and that triggered a ton of complaints?

Go figure

"Do you sometimes feel like this?"

"Well shove a giant phallic object of cotton up there! Dild-pons... 100% bigger, 20% more absorbent."

Whenever i feel like the whole world is going to hell, I always remember that there was 185 person that had nothing better to do than whine about this. Then I realize that as a race living in modern society, we really don't have much to complain about

They should round up all the people who complain about commercials and ship them off to an island or some... oh wait.

 
puffy999 [TotalFark] 2009-01-03 08:40:20 PM  
Beaver zero, beaver one, let's all have some beaver fun!
Beaver two, beaver three, let's all climb the beaver tree!
Beaver four, beaver five, let's all do the beaver jive!
Beaver six, beaver seven, let's all go to beaver heaven!
Beaver eight, beaver nine, let's all have our spouses get PMS and bleed all over the house for a week, until you get so sick of it that you want to take an ax to her neck and make her bleed out of two ends...

Only they shouldn't record it, and shouldn't let them off the island.
Also, there should be monsters that will eat the people.

Dude, that ad was funny. Some people are just farking idiots who either don't get the joke until it's explained to them or get offended so easily they probably don't have many friends.

Broads need to lighten up about their damn sandy cooches already. That was funny.

I got a good laugh out of that ad and I have a hard time believing that 185 Australians complained about that ad as the Aussies I've met are some of the most laid back and thick skinned people I know.

Seriously. I'd rather watch that than the 10 billion tampon or maxi-pad commercials that have them soaking up blue water.

Not only that, but it wasn't really offensive either. A woman should treat her vagina well and be friends with it- it's much more positive than the American versions that act like a woman is soooooooo burdened to not have a penis and is stuck bleeding every month.

Also, based on the other complaints, people clearly have issues:

FTA: Despite orders to replace the `want-longer-lasting-sex?' billboards by September, many were simply covered with "censored' stickers.

"In one case we heard that a six-year-old child asked his mother, `How long is it supposed to last?'' she said.


and this:

A Domino's pizza ad in which a character named Many Toppins uses the made-up term "Supercalafreakinawesome' was the second most complained-about ad for the year.

Well, there sure weren't any beavers following me around last year, so I'd complain too.

The US is the eagle, Russia is the bear,
Australia is the kangaroo, cause they're kind of weird down there.
Yeah, India is the tiger, that stands so proud and tall,
But Canada is the greatest of them all.

We are the beaver, we're furry and we're free
Yeah, we are the beaver, we got two big front teeth
Yeah, we are the beaver, we can chew right through small trees
We are the beaver, we are the beaver, we are the beaver.

You might think a rodent is a pretty lame choice
For a national animal, but don't you listen to that voice.
No, cause all them birds and preditors, just take from the land
But the beaver, always gives a dam.

That's odd. Usually the blood gets off at the second floor.

"While `freakin' is not particularly terrible, on the ad, it sounds more like `friggin' and was repeated as such by my four-year old,' one of the 145 people who complained said.



What's with these parents? Do they really expect others to give a flying fark whether their children learn incredibly tame swears?

Did no one RTFA?

There's the following hilarious quote in response to a censored Aussie billboard that read "want longer lasting sex?"

In one case we heard that a six-year-old child asked his mother, `How long is it supposed to last?'' she said.

'Frigate' is not a dirty word in Bath, Maine.

Inside joke for fellow Mainahs.

Even though I always roll a 20-sided die before I decide to click on a gorgor link, I must respect what he does. Here is a man(?) that does one thing for the Fark community, and does it well. Every time. Gorgor makes no apologies for his contributions, and they are always clicker-beware. One has to have a modicum of respect for such a commitment to shock-value posts!

The beaver commercial was cute. Offensive would be a douche ad showing a pelican following a woman along the beach.

WHY do I every click on a gorgor link? Because I am stupid and have not learned my lesson.
