Naughty Toy Elf Sparks Complaints: Have We Lost Our Sense of Humor?

 

When UK’s discount retailer Poundland started an advent calendar/advertising campaign on social media, including Twitter and Facebook, complaints that the “Elf Behaving Bad” daily post was offensive began to surface. Apparently, complaints of the naughty elf have now been lodged with the UK’s advertising standards bureau, but most find the elf pretty funny. Apparently, one naughty elf photo caused a stir when the toy elf “teabagged” a toy doll, causing #MeToo activists to complain as well as Twinings Tea Company. Check out @Poundland on Twitter to see if you are horrified or amused.
