Hard to blame him for that. Ain't like there's anything here to take seriously.
i stated the "designer"of the advertisement,did I not?
Understanding the designer and who is holding the pen,or author of art is as important as the advertisement itself,
just seeking an understanding of the approval process of advertisements,I am not the least offended by the ad,but i would be offended if i could not have a sneak view of the designer of such advertisement.
why not,i should google it.
it may seem strange to you,but for myself i do have some concepts and ideas on what i would find when i have an overview of the designer,
the advertisement has sexual overtones to it,therefore i placed my own sexual overtones to the advertisement,just presenting some fun in the whole situation,not meaning to offend anyone.
In fantasy,when i meet the designer of this advertisement,I have a pretty strong profile on how he would talk to woman,and i bet his c o ck is one form of communication,then again i think he may be a limp dicker,who knows,it would be cool to know his profile.
no offense.

'tarsander'-I like that phrase-very apt.
And of course we all know that 'thoughts follow words'.

Oh man, you get just get more stupid with every post. Maybe you ought to quit while you're... Then again...
You're definitely not ahead. But most certainly you are uniformed about Gerryh.
Gerry and I have had numerous differences of opinion over the years. He's pretty much pro gay marriage, has no issue criticizing Israel, has supported Palestine, is anti war and is definitely pro-life. He can be called a lot of things, has in fact been called a lot of things, even by me, but you are so far off the mark with your sweeping generalizations it is almost comically entertaining.
I implore you to educate yourself or consider this advice.
It is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
Your move.
Advertising regulations
The Canadian Code of Advertising Standards states that an ad may not "appear in a realistic manner to exploit, condone or incite violence," "demean, denigrate or disparage one or more identifiable ... group of persons," or "undermine human dignity; or display obvious indifference to, or encourage, gratuitously and without merit, conduct or attitudes that offend the standards of public decency."
Members of the public who feel an ad has contravened those standards can submit complaints through the organization's website.
Misogyny in the oil patch
This isn't the first time that people in the oil industry have been accused of misogyny.
An Alberta-based Facebook page known as "Sexy Oil Patch Girls," for example, has been called "disgusting" and disrespectful.
Numerous articles published over the last few years have also reported on women facing challenges that their male counterparts don't.
