What The? Women Activists Claim Audi Super Bowl Ad Promotes Rape

I saw this reaction coming a mile away. The argument that the ad "promotes" rape will be hard for many to concede, but given the times and the ad's lack of context it shouldn't have surprised the ad agency or Audi that they would be made.

Unwanted, unexpected, or awkward kisses are a part of coming of age and generally do not elicit much criticism when some expression of humility, contrition, or embarrassment ensues. But when the kisses are delivered by a cocky little kid with an expensive car (who disrespects the girl's existing relationship in front a throng) and is presented as bravery without a single hint of remorse, it's hard not to think that it we're looking at a future date rapist.

They should have had him sobbing in the arms of a man at the end.

What the hell is this country coming to? Everyone gets offended by anything. Let's take AMERICA back and get rid of this bunch of spineless people.

No surprise there, Histrionic Personality Disorder is four times more common in women than men and mandatory personality profile in “Women Activist”. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

Guess they missed the look on the girl's face after he kissed her.

It is really easy to be a man-hater, no need to make up reasons.

While discussing some disappointing experiences with the opposite gender a friend of mine shared a wisdom. He said: "Just remember, women need men as much as we need them."

If the roles were reversed and a girl leaped and kissed a boy, would that also be considered as encouraging rape?

I like the audi because it is a SmartEuro, but this commercial (for american "footballers") is just wrong. The boy should be sent to a manditory sensativity training camp.

The biggest surprise was he didn't kiss a guy after getting out of an Audi. A recent poll showed more gays drive Audi's, than in any other brand.
