AUG 15 2019 The slippery slope of progressive ideology is poison to free speech.
Just ask Volkswagen.
The advertising team at the German automaker made what seemed like quite an inconspicuous commercial for the e-Golf, a new electric car that is fast, high-tech and environmentally sensitive.
The commercial focuses on the overcoming resilience of adaptation by showing scenes of people living in the wilderness, astronauts surviving in space and a man with a prosthetic leg performing a long jump. The final clip of the ad highlights the quietness of the car by showing it drive virtually unnoticed by a mother with a baby-stroller, presumably with her resting child in it.
And that last clip got the commercial banned in Britain.
The Advertising Standards Authority, the British agency that regulates ads and sanctions bad actors who fail to abide by its recommendations, decided that the imagery portrayed gender stereotypes that were too terrible for the residents of the U.K. to see.
The ASA took up the review of the case after three complaints alleged, “the ad perpetuated harmful gender stereotypes by showing men engaged in adventurous activities in contrast to a woman in a care-giving role.”
