      they’re known for their controversial ads - they started in france and other EU countries where this humour apparently chimes a little better - certain they had a hefty discussion about how these would carry over but maybe misjudged it (I agree that it’s an inappropriate ‘joke’)

      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 -

      This is interesting! I’m glad to know and I’d be intrigued to know more about their “”ethos”” etc

          interesting is definitely the word lmao, one of their french adverts is a guy getting a cab home from work early to surprise his wife and he walks in on her having sex with someone else -

          i think their ideas of ‘offence’ are a little different due to marketing in countries where these jokes are seen as less problematic but because they’ve in a sense built their brand around being ‘playful’/ crude(?) they don’t want to back down from it and they feel it’s unique
