An Australian beer company has come under fire for releasing a beer commercial that suggests red hair is a disease that needs to be eradicated. Last month, Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) released a commercial for its new Rusty Yak Gingery Ale, in which a narrator talks about the discovery of a 맥스카지노ginger맥스카지노 gene, saying it was 맥스카지노floating around in our beer, just like it's been floating around in human DNA, surprising families for generations.맥스카지노 After showing various redheads, the ad asks people to help 맥스카지노stop the spread of the gene맥스카지노 by looking for specially marked bottles in their new six packs of beer for a chance to win money. Though the misguided ad was intended as a joke, consumers quickly filed complaints against CUB for the commercial맥스카지노s insulting undertones, with one petition labeling the ad 맥스카지노a direct attack on all redheads and their families.맥스카지노맥스카지노It맥스카지노s very offensive for the advertisement to be discriminating against those with red hair, suggesting that they need to 맥스카지노stop the gene spreading맥스카지노 as if it were some sort of disease," read one complaint to the Advertising Standards board, as reported by Mumbrella, adding that "children already get bullied at school for having red hair, and advertisements like this only further encourage that type of bullying."According to Yahoo, CUB defended their ad, saying, 맥스카지노The advertisements do not promote discrimination or vilification as defined above in a literal or figurative way given the theme and overall impression of the advertisements is not negative towards reds heads , but rather a humorous and comical announcement that we have discovered 맥스카지노the ginger gene맥스카지노 in our beer." Unfortunately for CUB, Advertising Standards disagreed, ruling the 맥스카지노stop the spread of the gene맥스카지노 phrase to be racist and offensive, and that the ad be removed. Though CUB did pull the commercial, it맥스카지노s still viewable on YouTube, which means you can make your own informed opinion and fight about it on social media.
