like ‘get me out of here’ at the bottom, is inappropriate but this is (i think) something they care about within making their brand ‘stand out’ - they’re probably not going about it in the best way but they do WANT people to talk about the ads -

It’s also like a weird game of association to start playing when so many women are also afraid of being assaulted by their Uber drivers?
