Can’t see anything bad in the ad can someone highlight what is wrong with it.
lol. The ad has nothing offensive in it. Kids can’t even guess what it is.
PEMRA, SHIBLI SB, What about the adds in which women sanitary pads are discussed? I suppose that these adds should be also prohibited or the govt is under influence of the pads manufacturing multinational company. SHIBLI sb, please maintain ONE standard for both genders.
Same typical paki mindset: imagining, finding, seeing vulgarity in everything. BLOODY SICK NATION, it will be a relief for this world to rid of this nation.
ok boomer
