What has Australia become? This is one of the unintended consequence of giving women the right to vote, we were warned

Don't mind the adds actually....

They can get all the complaints they want, the extra exposure is doing them good

I love picking a winner just as much as the next bloke but this ad is just wrong. I have worked at a place where the dirty Asians picked their noses and would wipe it on the wall above the urinal. Makes for great viewing whilst having a slash, NOT!!

Define 'Torrent' as well....

Would love to know how many millions of viewers have seen this.. and what %age do the complaints make up.

Reminds me of that model with a surfboard on a billboard they were talking about a few weeks ago on the radio. 1 complaint and they took it down.. what a joke.

this sort of advertising highlights the lengths a company will go to, to promote its product. its not the advertisers fault per say, the company the product belongs to would of signed off on this saying "yes that's how we wish our product to be promoted in the market place" . the sad thing is, people get paid big money to produce something like that, THEN other people get paid even bigger money to say its ok to be seen.......next they'll have an advert about a couple whose child manages to sh#t through its nappy in its baby seat in the back of the car as the reason for the partner to not use your car so get these number plates....don't think it matters who complained really, crap is crap!

Can you imagine how it would go down if an ad was made to 'women proof your car'
It would be the most sexist thing around and would be taken down straight away.

Equal rights, that is what feminists fight for.

And with that, I give you.. the 'Woman proof car park'

Does my bumper look big in this? Chinese shopping mall installs plus-sized women-only parking spaces 30cms wider than normal

* Spaces installed at the World Metropolis centre in Dalian, north-east China
* They are painted pink and around 30 centimetres wider than normal spaces
* Cater for female drivers who have trouble parking, claims centre's manager
* Latest in string of women-only spaces to have emerged in Chinese car parks

A Chinese shopping mall has installed a plus-sized, women-only zone to cater for female drivers who have trouble parking.

The zone, marked with a sign reading: 'Respectfully reserved for women', is situated outside the World Metropolis (Dashijiedaduhui) centre in Dalian in north-east China's Liaoning province.

It features ten parking spaces which are painted pink and around 30 centimetres wider than normal.

It is the latest in a string of women-only zones to have emerged in car parks across China, where the middle class is bulging and more people have the income necessary to buy and drive vehicles.

Other places to have introduced them include Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping centre in Shijiazhuang city, Hebei province, and a building materials mall in Tianjin, northern China.

The pink-ringed parking spaces have sparked debate in China, which officially embraces gender equality but where old-fashioned sexism is rife in reality.

The World Metropolis, situated in the centre of the northern port city of Dalian, is one of thousands of other retail complexes to have sprouted across the country as part of a vast urbanisation drive.
Meh... won't copy and paste the rest, you get the gist

How to woman proof your car or at least keep quite a few of them out....

Drive a manual

Yes, a significant portion can drive manual, but I don't think it would be too big a stab in the dark to state a greater portion of women than men are auto only drivers.

The advertising agency gets paid to create an add which will get people talking about it. Winner winner chicken dinner.
