It's saying that we break the road rules, hence are criminals.

At no time was the campaign intended to offend or alienate any particular group of road users. The particular campaign referenced was intended to highlight just one of the many dangers encountered on our roads on a daily basis and encourage greater levels of awareness.

Uh-huh...and the way that ad comes across is that motorcyclists are the danger. If SCA's intent was to portray the cage driver as the dangerous one, the focus would've stayed on the car rather than the bike.

Just got the same email back from them too.

At least they have done the right thing and made a Superquick decision to suspend that particular campaign,
and have made an effort to provide some sort of positive outcome for all those who complained.

I don't see it that way. - If your child scribbled on your walls with a crayon, you'd smack him and make him clean it up, right? Would you consider his cleaning up after himself to be "doing the right thing", or would you consider it to be simply his responsibility after he'd made a mess?
Don't give those corporate jackasses too much credit.

I'm only relpying to this because you've stated this as questions toward me, so I'll make an attempt to answer. I understand exactly where your coming from and although we don't really agree that's called just having a different personality with your own opinion and we're both entitled that. The world would be pretty f*&^ing boring if we didn't.

If your child scribbled on your walls with a crayon, you'd smack him and make him clean it up, right?

Wrong. The child will never grow up understanding exactly why what he/she just did is actually wrong if I just gave them a smack and forced them to clean it up. They just know not to do it. Without an understanding of why they can't do it, they will have no sense of guilt and will just clean it up because they were forced to. They will more than likely do it again later with a screw you attitude. - negative enforcement always get's challenged.

Would you consider his cleaning up after himself to be "doing the right thing", or would you consider it to be simply his responsibility after he'd made a mess?

I'd consider this to be both. Cleaning up his own mess is his responsibility and the right thing to do. But without teaching him that the mess he made was wrong and that he understands that, the excercise is pointless and I may as well just ignore the whole thing or clean it up myself.

So relating it all back to todays lesson. Yes they f****d up and scribbled all over the walls. I explained it was the wrong thing to do and gave them clear reasons why. They now understand they f****d up and are now cleaning it all up, hopefuly having a good think about what they have just done and also provided a basic appology.

If my kids grow up, learn from their mistakes, clean up their own mess, can admit they were wrong and give an apology. I'll be a proud father.

It's their first time at doing something like this so, let's just see if Supercheap have learned from their mistake, clean up the mess, admit they were wrong and give an apology.

Actually, that entire post was rhetorical.

No probs. I thought you were directing it at me.

Guess I got to explain my point of view toward it though in a strange sort of way.
