Match.com forced to take down disrespectful advert about red-heads
Dating website Match.com has been forced to apologise for an advertisement following an outcry on social media.
The advert features a woman with red hair and freckles with the slogan: “If you don’t like your imperfections, someone else will.”
It was featured prominently in tube stations around London, prompting online criticism and complaints made to the Advertising Standards Authority.
A spokesperson for Match.com said in a statement: “We have taken note of the response about our advert concerning freckles.
“Following this feedback, we are in discussions with our relevant partners about removing these posters as soon as possible.”

This is a real issue in England. Red-haired children do get harassed there quite a lot. I have never seen such harassment in Australia

ReplyDeleteI understand that there is discrimination against people who have red hair in England.
ReplyDeleteI do not know the historical basis for that discrimination.
Hey there's nothing wrong with having freckles they look neato
