Bic
has been forced to apologize for its Women's Day campaign after it told women
to 'think like a man'
|
Stationery company Bic has been forced
to apologize for an advert celebrating Women's Day which encourages workers to
'Think like a man.'
The South African campaign featured an image of a business woman accompanied by
the words 'look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a
boss'. (SEE APOLOGY AFTER BREAK)
The
bizarre and contradictory choice of words has attracted a Twitter storm of
outraged comments from offended men and women.
Many
of those tweeting chose to create their own parodies of the advert.
One of the several parodies on Twitter |
Ms
Slide replaced the stock image with a picture of Christopher Biggins in drag
writing: 'That sexist Bic ad is applicable to the career of Christopher Biggins
and literally nobody else.'
Lowri
Williams created her very own poster writing 'look like a human, act like a
human, think like a human, work like a human.'
