“The ad for a popular motorbike needs to go off air. It is blatantly sexist.”
“Get me a report on the gender break-up of motorbike users. The ad agency might have targeted a predominant user segment.”
“We are fine with it,” opined the leader of the feminist organization, “it is the portrayal that is vulgar.”
“What does the ad copy say?”
“It’s a boy – squeal the nurses after uncovering infants. Those baby boys are not user segments as yet, and their dignity needs to be spared.”

Reena dear, I don’t know what is funnier? I tried to share it on Facebook and it says’ Your message couldn’t be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive.’
Loved your writing.

I think this ad was banned once. Sharing to FB from WordPress has some restrictions. I will find the details Eugenia sent me, and forward the same.
