The problem with people getting offended so easily is that it draws attention away from REALLY offensive ads - such as this one ( I'm ashamed to say I worked for Acora at the time but not in the marketing department ! ) ...
The Yorkie Ad is no more offensive than women poking fun at men for being 'so ill' when they get a cold etc. i.e. not offensive at all, just a bit of fun at the expense of the opposite sex. Anyone that finds either of these things offensive needs to chill.
