That they aren't is far more of a slight to gender equality. <br /><br />This company also have a myriad of pro drug, pro violence, and I believe I've seen pro abortion ones; and their most recent promotion I saw was basically 'Do you have a big penis, if so you can have a discount'. They aim to shock, and it works for them, and they only seem mysogynistic when viewed alone and out of context. <br /><br />A 'public shaming' would merely be 'free advertising', because none of their target market (people who rent vans and campers who clearly don't have a family) would care.<br /><br />Also, these messages are hilarious, especially when combined with their artwork. You're clearly all getting too old and sensitive! ;) Hamishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-37523797196449366902014-07-19T08:25:20.667+12:002014-07-19T08:25:20.667+12:00Where did I say I favoured restricting freedom of ...Where did I say I favoured restricting freedom of speech through legislation?
