Outrage over product design

[lonely zergling]

A company here in germany sells Milkproducts with different flavours like choco, vanilla and strawberry etc. Now they released their "Christmas" editions and people on social media were outraged when they saw that they used Pin-Up girls on their product. They think it is sexist. The chocolate one also recieved many accusions of racism.

Here are the pictures of the chocolate and strawberry:




What do you think, is this design ok or is the outrage justified?

Somewhere, someone will always be outraged. Should they get attention?

It's like posting a thread that there is "outrage about the rogue blog being posted last", because a handful of guys started moaning in a thread on the forums.

Well, it managed to get into the news. So it's "important" enough to discuss about it imho.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't buy a milk product with tits on it unless they're a cow's.

I would like to see the reaction if they used a white girl for the chocolate. That would propably be racist too in a different way.

[...] and people on social media [...]

Soon, hopefully not long from now, people will stop giving a shit about what people think on social media.

Racism? I would expect sexism if anything at all.

How is it racism? If anything, it's racist towards white people. "What, do they mean that white people can't make nude photos with chocolate covering their genitalia? They said that white people would look silly in that scenario? Those racists!".

Aknowledging the fact that someone has a different color skin, shouldn't be perceived as racist. It's like saying that refering to another person by his or her hair color is racist. Actually, somebody who looked at this label and immediately saw this woman as a black person that should have her rights defended is acting racist.

Sexism because there are no equal amount of male pin up girls. /sarcasm

We live in a world full of butt-hurt clowns that will take offence to a leaf blowing past them.
There is nothing wrong with them, but someone will find something to pick at and blow it out of proportion - people like that have tooo much rights and will throw out cards like racism etc.

The actual problem is people like that.
They should be told to zip it.

I honestly don't get, why they need pin ups for god damn milk products... It's really a bit weird. Come on. Sex sells in one thing, but we are talking about milk. Lol.

[Revi]

People are jumping at every opportunity to be outraged, it's in style now apparently.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I personally don't think the design is very good. Don't like trying to relate my milk drinks with sex.

This. Sounds delicious and sexy. Sign me up.

People will always find something to get their panties in a wad over. It's part of life, just suck down some milk products and laugh it off.
