Absolute bollocks (sorry). People who see it as provocative have the wrong mind set. People (snowflakes) just need something to moan about. I see a child standing in front of a car eating a banana. End of.

Absolutely right I second that people got nothing better to say

Says more about the bizarre thought processes of those who complained IMHO

^^ this imo....

OK, I’m not a fan of the ‘snowflakes’ and the over politically-correct brigade, but what were Audi thinking of? And what does the girl with a banana add to the advertisement? And, as for the headline, did no-one at Audi dare to speak up? IMHO, it’s unnecessary to include the girl at all and was absolutely certain to provoke a negative response.

I blame Boris Johnson. If we weren't leaving the EU and Federal Storm Troopers weren't throwing tear gas into Build a Bear in Portland the BLM protesters would'nt have delayed the start of the last lot of F1 races where tax exiles point out what a tough life they've had. They're our fish don't you know.........

Wait, I see a bandwagon!

Its all bananas

Exactly.

I'd be inclined to think that no one at Audi spoke up because nobody saw anything wrong with the photo... it's a picture of a girl eating a banana in front of a red car! How terrible is that? In terms of what it adds, there are four other photos that serve no purpose either (*1).

In the context of the other photos used in the same advertising campaign for the car (https://www.audi.de/de/brand/de/neuw...s-4-avant.html), I'm surprised that the snowflakes, PC brigade and SJWs didn't complain that Audi was being negligent of the surrounding dangers by showing photos of a car being driven (and parked) directly in front of a dam's sluice gates... god forbid there had of been a sudden flash flood that overwhelmed the dam resulting in the deaths of those in the photo and those behind the camera! (sarcasm)

(*1) There are also photos of safety issues of people standing on seats so they can look out the sunroof, playing with a kite near a car, encouraging a child to lie in the boot of a car and worst of all, sitting next to a 450hp / 600Nm car wearing children's sunglasses whilst happy in the knowledge that you're driving a car that has a severely deformed rear wheel (all sarcasm).

If someone at Audi needed to speak up about the content of the photos, it was the last one I mentioned as it must have been taken with a 'potato camera'.

I can see why people would have an issue with the photo in isolation but when looking at all the others in the link from Steamship it fits in with the theme (having fun - child dressed similar to mother with leopard print). It's all about context really.

You missed another point Steamship... He was driving with only one hand on the wheel, also, why doesn't the woman appear to be driving at any time? She just hangs out the sunroof or puts the child in the back!
