You make threads like this one, and point them in the direction of it I suppose. It's not even as though their lights are that great anyway, and selling using incongruously placed young women is a bit sad.

Never mind incongrously placed young women, what about incongrously placed lights? Who sticks lights to their bottom, really?
Actually, don't answer that...

...and they are on Twitter and Facebook so it should be easy to let them know that you don't like it, unless you are old and dim like me.

It's a bit like this, 90% of mountainbikers are men. Most of those will find the ad eye catching. So knog are just appealing to their target audience. Clever Knog, if not a bit lazy. But it's really no different from Coke. 90% of fat biffers who drink diet Coke are women, hence the advert with the topless man.
You don't work in advertising do you.Posted 8 months ago # -

Ah! There's a light in that picture. Hadn't noticed...
Maybe not the best ad but what else can they say: "Knog: Our lights look kind of cool but aren't very good"?

We should be tolerant to such backwards countries - wonder if they do a similar ad for muslim countries with lady wearing full muslim dress

Having looked at the pic, expecting to see a girl's bum barely covered by the barest (!) minimum of skimpy Lycra, I was somewhat nonplussed to see a pretty substantial pair of black denim shorts more or less like a pair of cut-off jeans. Sorry, but WTF is the fuss about? Bloody hell, get a sense of proportion for heavens sake. I regularly see young women walking and riding wearing little more than that, it's what girls wear. There's nothing sexist about it.
the only difference with this pic is they are wearing complete jeans, if they'd hacked the legs off there would be no difference. Two words: mountains, molehills.Posted 8 months ago # -

No. But you are a liar.

Like buttocks, there are two sides to every story: they're from Melbourne. Lots of people dress like that and ride bikes around. I live there, i see it all the time. I therefore lazily accuse the OP of cultural misunderstanding.

There are things I care about, and I reply to. There are things I don't care about, and I don't reply to.
You tazzymtb, apparently, reply to things you don't care about, odd.
I can't see the ad, so can't comment on the sexisticity of said ad, but their lights do look crap.Posted 8 months ago # -
