Recently Microsoft unvieled a spot for their Kin series of feature phones which included a plethora of hipsters frolicking in all their ironic glory. Yesterday, Microsoft pulled the spot over perceived "sexting" message in the ad.
It's sad really. Microsoft pulled the ad for no reason other than a consumer watch group had a problem with a hipster showing too much man cleavage and then sending a picture to an ironically giddy fauxhemian beauty. Hell I would've pulled it because 20 seconds into the ad I had no clue they were sellin a phone.
So the question is: was the ad risqué or was it blown out of proportion?
Update: Below is the original in all it's ironic glory.
