Offensive or Not....YOU DECIDE!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

There's nothing wrong with the BK and POM ads. It's just a case of people getting too easily offended.


The Tiger ad isn't offensive, it just shows how big of a douche he is.

Nope.

I like POM. Tastes great. :up:

Agreed.

About the BK ad, I would have said "not offensive" at first thought, but now that I've had some time to think about it, I'm not quite sure.

POM is delicious.

Escaping in straitjackets are pretty clearly a joke on 50s institution. A straitjacket is extremely rare in mental health circles these days.

Tiger... well, sheeyit, son.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.
