Still from the VW advert, banned for showing “gender stereotypes”. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

The left may preach that their agenda focuses on diversity and tolerance, but the truth is they do not embrace either.<\/span><\/p>\n

The slippery slope of\u00a0progressive ideology is poison to free speech.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just ask Volkswagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advertising team at the German automaker made what seemed like quite an inconspicuous commercial for the\u00a0e-Golf<\/a>, a new electric car that is fast, high-tech and environmentally sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

The commercial focuses on the overcoming resilience of adaptation by showing scenes of people living in the wilderness, astronauts surviving in space and a man with a prosthetic leg performing a long jump. The final clip of the ad highlights the quietness of the car by showing it drive virtually unnoticed by a mother with a baby-stroller, presumably with her resting child in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that last clip got the commercial banned in Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Advertising Standards Authority<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, the British agency that regulates ads and sanctions bad actors who fail to abide by its recommendations, decided that the imagery portrayed gender stereotypes that were too terrible for the residents of the U.K. to see.<\/span><\/p>\n
