Disgusting ad in elephant and castle promoting affairs

[GoodToBeFree]

Have you seen this? How can something like this be allowed

Allowed by whom?

I don't know aren't there some rules or regulations about this stuff? Promoting affairs is allowed, beats me

It's not illegal to have an affair

I am shocked and appalled that something like this would be tolerated by the deeply moral Advertising industry?

Why would it not be?
People have affairs its a dating site like any other but I suppose its more honest than Tinder as its clear what you are signing up for.

breaking your marriage vows is not a criminal offence, so under what 'rules' would you have the ad banned?

I mean it’s not great but I suppose not illegal?

Crazy! How can this be allowed?

I very much doubt it’s illegal, bad taste - yes .

Crazy! How can this be allowed?

Because its not illegal.

Wow :-O
a bit much

@DioneTheDiabolist

It's bloody revolting certainly but what rules or laws make being a cheating sack of shit a crime?

If its not illegal, then it unreasonable for it be banned.

Just because you dont like it, doesnt mean it cant be advertised.

Hmm. Well, if "woman = adult human female" (the dictionary definition) and "I ❤️ JKR" are considered to be sufficiently offensive by billboard companies that they either pull them down after a single complaint, or refuse to put them up in the first place, I should say this should be easy to get taken down as being offensive.

Let me know how it goes, OP.

(Joking. Obviously it won't get taken down. Because men's right to a shag is supreme, whereas women's rights to define ourselves and express an opinion are hateful.)

Yeah, OK, I get that maybe it's not illegal then, but it's certainly tasteless. And to use back to school in the ad, what is the world coming to..

@SirSamuelVimes not that I don’t agree with you. But technically it’s not just for men. Women are allowed to follow this advert too...

It is tasteless but the ad has kind of worked in that it has provoked us to talk about it. To be honest, people willing to have an affair won't need a billboard or 'no strings attached' hookup website to help them! Tinder etc all exist.

Better to have those who want an affair on those sites, rather than just on normal dating sites, pretending to be single. I bet they get a load of complaints & thus lots of lovely extra publicity, on top of that generated here on this thread.

@SirSamuelVimes I do hope it does get removed. Saw it on my morning run, I'm sure I'm not the only one it's upset, and I don't think I'm that easily offended.

Pretty sure women can have affairs too...or do women not enjoy sex in your world?

And an ad that is (even obliquely) anti-trans is against the spirit of a law protecting certain characteristics, whereas there is no law against extra-marital affairs. What a strawman argument.

But you have no right not to be offended. None of us has.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

At least with Illicit Encounters, you know what you're getting.

All the cheaters on Tinder/Match/Hinge etc.. ought to use it instead of pretending to be single.

@SerendipityJane

lol have you actually told me I do not have a right to be offended, of course I do, we all do if it offends. I don't think things like this should be allowed
