Billboard advert - what do you think?

so it just blends in with the rest.

Not this one.

We've just spent 4 pages talking about it

I guess it depends how uncomfortable the word "flock" makes you?
I prefer a cock to a flock, personally.

Another thank you for lots of opinions and for comments that made me laugh. I feel so much better now .
Applegran - I did try calling the Estate Agents and was contacted by the lady who wrote the advert. She was quite aggressive and offended and told me she'd had it checked by several organisations. I simply said that she did need to accept that there would be differing opinions including mine. It's been great reading all the comments above, thank you again.

Gosh, well done you for sticking your neck out - I admire people who do that!

I'm not that surprised the 'lady' was aggressive, the ad itself is a tad on the aggressive side... "oi, you, wot you looking at" style of comment. Innit!

It’s a bit of a lame advert but I don’t find it offensive or inappropriate for my child to look at. But I don’t have a problem with swear words.

Thank you Dickens. She was very proud of it and I have a long neck

I'm not sure anyone is still interested but thought I would let you know that >

Not really important given all the terrible happenings in the world but a very small ripple in the pond?

The comment about children being told it is ok to swear in front of parents reminded me of a 'Penelope' or Jocasta' cartoon in the '80s, I think.
Child swears in front of parents. Child has friends over for play date. Child drops bread, jammy side down on floor, and starts to whine about it. Mother responds with "Tough Titty'. Child mortified as friends hear it. No more child swearing.

I'm not bothered by that ad in OP.

Thanks SuzyG. I’m pleased the complaints were upheld.

It is clear people can take offense with anything

That ad was funny

Anybody has seen the latest cartoon movies for kids?
The amount of double entendre added to each movie is surprising.

Thanks - Iam64.
I'm thinking of changing my name to Whitehouse..lol

We often drive past this pub (one of the best in Derbyshire).

Its sign always makes me smile, but it must instigate some very awkward child / parent conversations!

There’s a pub near to me called ‘The Dog Inn’ ?

SuzyG - I’ve had the same thought

As for The Dog Inn, perfectly good name for a country pub till recent years

The Dog Inn one made me smile too. I'm glad that I have grown up children and they know it all!

Oh wow! So it was offensive? What the flock?

Some people found it offensive. I thought it a strange way to advertise properties. Yes I’m Mary Whitehouse but I try t0 discourage foul language in my grandchildren

Not gran/Iam64 - absolutely, although lots of people not happy with this but then, what's new? I do some social media moderation and know that most people like a good moan, me included!

Plus luckily we all get offended about different things

If it makes one person smile it`s fine by me.
I can`t see the point at taking offence at an inanimate object.

I was about to say the same thing - the FCuk thing really put me off French Connection for a long time. I swear like a trooper in my own home when I’m cross enough, but these adverts always strike me as crass. I find myself wondering if the ad agencies are employing ten year old schoolboys ...

PS I don’t find these ads offensive, just really stupid and irritating.
