A banana flashing a strawberry and pear probably isn’t an everyday occurrence.
You might even find the idea of the image quite amusing, but it would appear that some people in New Zealand don’t, as they have complained to the Kiwi Advertising Standards Authority about one company’s ad campaign.
People have complained that the ads for Auckland-based Habitual Fix are inappropriate as they contain an adult theme, reports the New Zealand Herald.
The main image in the ad is of a banana exposing itself by unpeeling the bottom half of his skin and a strawberry and pear running away in fear.
Auckland resident Jackie Robson saw the image for the first time on the back of a bus ticket.
She told the news provider: "Even though it is just fruit there is the angry look and it is clear what the banana is doing."
Habitual Fix founder James Tucker said the campaign was light-hearted and easy going.
"We have literally hundreds and hundreds of people saying they like it. Ninety-nine per cent say they like it," he told the Herald.
Eating bananas has been known to improve mood and make people happier, according to mental health charity Mind, so maybe people should’ve had some bananas then they might not have taken offence to the ads!
