Sweden have banned the distracted boyfriend meme as it's sexist.

PC gone mad etc, etc.

Oh and Would, Wouldn't, Would.

Here's the bit you need to pay attention to: The Swedish advertising industry is self-regulating, meaning that the ombudsman can criticise ads but it does not have the power to impose sanctions.

Nah, I like my version.

No they haven't. Nice bit of sensationalism there.

Man takes second look at a pretty woman. Yep, that is disgusting - I don't know what the world is coming to. We never looked twice at pretty girls when I was a lad...........................................

You forgot to add that not only is it sexist, the three people are all white, appear to be able bodied and hetrosexual.

Well ok the girl on the left may not be hetrosexual but that doesn't fit my narrative.

Why are you just assuming the person on the left identifies as a female?

Surely the entire point of the original picture, was poking fun at the MAN - along the lines of 'silly men, are never satisfied with what they've got', given that the girl he is distracted by looks near enough exactly the same as the girl he is with?

Good point.

The only really sexist part of this is making the man out to be a bit of a pig. Women are just as bad with this type of thing yet you'd never have an advert with the genders reversed. Utterly ludicrous that people are getting worked up about this though.

 

[Easy 10]

Overused meme considered sexist.
Woman closes car door.
Isle of Man hamster learns flute.

Slow news week ?

The man is an IDIOT.

Only an idiot would walk with his mrs, in the sunshine, with summer-clad lovelies all around, without his SUNGLASSES.

The fool.

I know it's hard to tell as her face is blurred but if you ask me the figure of lust is no better than the girlfriend figure. Like going out for mince when you have mince at home
