Been a little sensitive, I mean if that is a problem then the media should be band from filming outside the apartments.

I don't want to come accross a p**** but I think we are overeating. Where do you draw the line, should Aer Lingus stop flying passengers to SFO to?

OMG, I am so offended on someone else's behalf.

Some people just look to be offended on social media for the sake of it and feign outrage

Offended people are easily offended.

Why did you type 'balcony', OP?

It's like 911 all over again.

DrGreenthumb

Just heard they are banning Romeo & Juilet in Ireland beacuse of the balcony scene

They're not really. They just like to pretend to be because it makes them feel smug.

With all due respect, and to put it bluntly - life goes on.

Companies won't put their necks on the line and lose money over this. They're not going to ring up power city and tell them they can't publish the ad.

I really hope this thread's a silly joke.

I don't believe it anyway

Dickie10

Unless I see a gremlin taking screws out of the balcony supports, I'm gonna stick with my gut reaction that you are trying to stir up some sh!t where none exists.

Hah, I'd totally inspect for gremlins. Now there would be something to discuss.

As opposed to, I dunno, banning balconies. Or pictures of balconies. Maybe we should ban the word?

Panasonic, not Power City. What next a warning on during the start of Armageddon...Oh wait that happend on RTÉ

I dont think if I wasn't told I would've noticed she was even on a balcony. Or that it was San Francisco. Or the ad at all if I'm honest, probably would've never entered by consciousness.

Samaris

...Well, I suppose if someone raised a kerfuffle about Hillary Clinton's campaign logo because "OMG TWIN TOWERS AAARGGH", it's just possible that this thread might be real.

But I'm clinging desperately to it being satire.

It's also Lisbon not San Francisco

So...

• It's not even necessarily a balcony.
  
• She's not waving her arms.
  
• She's not taking a photo.
  
• And it's not San Francisco.

This has to be the biggest thread fail ever.

So not only the OP feign offense, but the thing they were faux-offended by wasn't even correct?

Ah lads, it's just a bridge. Get over it....

Slutmonkey57b

How dare this newspaper allow this ad, clearly full of lazy stereotypes regarding ladies going outside and enjoying the sunshine while on holiday. Clearly it's insensitive and wrong to suggest that just because it's the truth, with years of blatant evidence backed up by the personal experiences of absolutely everyone in the country, if not the world, that anyone could imply such a thing.

The ambassador should get involved here.

it has a girl waving her arms/taking a photo

Taking in a view

on a balcony

In front of a fancy telly

in san fransisco with the golden gate bridge in bakground.

With Lisbon in the background.

seriously how could this have been let go to print today?

Because it only offends the minds of the person eager to be offended.

So the wrongest thread since Mr Wrong from Wrongtown , Co. Wrong, decided he'd like to post something wrong on Boards.ie !

The way she's kind of reaching out to sun is wildly insensitive to Icarus' family

Eugene Norman

The real problem with the ad is the way she is trying to steal the sun. That's gotta have severe repercussions for everybody.

Encouraging Solar larceny is a disgrace in this day and age.
