UK Bans Volkswagen Ad For Showing Men Working And Mother Raising A Child

This is the first advertisement banned from television in the United Kingdom by the Orwellian "Advertising Standards Authority" for portraying "gender-stereotypical activities." The ad from Volkswagen shows men doing male things and a woman raising a baby... Volkswagen said its ad was not sexist and that caring for a newborn was a life-changing experience about adaptation, regardless of the gender of the parent depicted. The ASA, however, "concluded that the ad presented gender stereotypes in a way that was likely to cause harm".
