Viewers have noticed inappropriate sexual material in the Red Bull "college" ad, which runs during regular programming. How did Red Bull sneak the grope, more obvious than Janet Jackson's malfunction, past network executives?
The real issue here is that people need to get their minds out of the gutter. What's "overtly sexual" about a guy accidentally groping somebody in the process of pushing them AWAY from him so that they DON'T have sex? Even based on the assumption that it was intended to be sexual, most kids aren't going to be thinking about that. They're going to be more concerned with thinking, "Hey, when does my cartoon/TV show/movie come back on?" not "Hey, that commercial was sexy!"
The fact that this commercial was animated makes absolutely no difference to the overtly sexual manner in which it was intended to be perceived. There is a time and place for everything, and prime time network programming is NOT the place for it. I'm not a prude by ANY stretch of the imagination, but children don't need to be over-sexualized any more than they already are. If that's what it takes to sell Red Bull, then they just lost me as a customer.
oh Love get over yourself you cannot be real. Offensive? I find it offensive that you are wasting your time on this. Its a frigging commercial and I saw nothing offensive in it. They were hardly naked and it was an animation!!!!!!
anyone who is against that commercial is a panzy bedwetter
