**🇿🇦 SA Billboard Called Out for Sexism – Ad Regulator Steps In 🚫* A *real estate billboard* in Johannesburg showing two women in a car with the line "Not your average birdies" has been ruled offensive by South Africa’s ad watchdog. 📍 Seen near a golf course, the ad was by property company *Chas Everitt* — but now it's under fire for being sexist and having *no clear link to real estate*. 👀 What the regulator said: “The word birdie gives a negative gender portrayal. It’s unclear what’s ‘above average’ — their looks? Car? Makeup?” 👥 Locals on WhatsApp even had convos slamming the ad for being disrespectful and irrelevant. 📝 The agency can still *appeal the ruling*, which was made on *13 June*. 📢 Let’s talk: Is this ad clever, clueless, or just outdated? Drop your take. #sanews #genderrespect #advertising #whatsapptalk #chaseveritt
