Apparently,�people don’t like Rebel’s big pussy.
Especially if it’s smelly.
In an advertisement for Stan, the TV streaming company, Rebel Wilson was employed to plug the benefits of the service. When asked by a ‘director’ that she needs to show how sexy Stan can be, she replies with, “can’t I just say that me and my big pussy love it?”
When the ‘director’ asks if that’s her pussy he can smell?
“It’s nice. A little picante, but it’s fragrant”.
Hold the phone, the�Advertising Standards Bureau received 66 complaints about this ad citing it was�”crass”, a “vulgar and offensive play on words” and�”degrading to women”.
While it might be offensive to a minority, it passed board scrutiny,�”the board noted the complainants’ concerns that the advertisement is degrading to women in its suggestion that a woman’s vagina would smell,” the decision said.
Adding�”while a reference to a woman’s genitalia is unusual, in this context it is not vilifying of women.�In the board’s view, the references to the smell of the pussy are backed up by the visibility of a cat.”
The Advertising Standards Bureau received more than 4000 complaints about 450 different advertisements this year, and upheld about 70 of them.
