OK? So don't make it so fuckable
This is the green M&M all over again

In addition to the visual changes, the characters' personalities were also updated. Ms. Green, known for her self-awareness and outgoing nature, now has a more inclusive and friendly demeanor. The redesign aimed to emphasize her confidence without the previous overt focus on femininity and sexuality, which had been a point of contention among audiences. This change was part of a broader effort to reduce the sexualization of female mascots and promote a more progressive representation.
Huh.
You can't tell me it wasn't intentional

I dunno if a beauty salon was maybe the best setting to use for your ad, Kiwibank.

Considering I've never heard of Kiwibank until now, the advertising is working.
Maybe just not working as they intended...
Anyone remember Erin for Esurance? There's a reason you don't see her anymore...

We've seen everything
Wait… I haven’t seen it. Can someone post it. For research purposes.
This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner
Other Bluesky furry accounts have accused Kiwibank of censoring sexy sheep art that wasn’t even connected to Buck in any way, essentially making their work collateral damage in a war over a reputably fuckable farm animal from New Zealand.
The DMCA is out of control
The fallout appears to be spreading. “I want to fuck the National Bank horse,” says one account.
I'm fuckin dead
Kwikbank: where men are men, and sheep are nervous
FBI is looking into it.
…for recruiting.
A different but relevant video 🐑: https://vimeo.com/24550780?fl=pl&fe=sh
Possibly NSFW.
Bluesky’s thriving furry community started posting their own images of her. Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.
Journalism is dead
This isn't journalism, it's an ad. I hadn't heard of Kiwibank until right now.
The CEO presses pause, the mascot sheep looking over the boardroom in coquettish freeze-frame. "Guys, you've gotta tell me, nobody thinks this sheep is fuckable, right? We didn't put a CM out with a sexy sheep on purpose, did we?"
The VP loosens his collar. The marketing team fidget and look around the table, anywhere to avoid the gaze of the CEO.
"Guys? It's not fuckable, right?"
A junior exec caves. "M-maybe a little bit?"
"God FUCKING damnit!"
It's advertising. They always do it on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBuly8Vblc
So a bank, like a real bank that people safeguard their savings, has this as its mascot?
At least it’s not a sperm bank.
Said it in another thread with the same thumbnail:
If they didn't want people to lust after their mascot, they shouldn't have given her "fuck me" eyes and a sultry smile. This is the internet, they should have anticipated this.
They knew exactly what they were doing
We're talking about it, aren't we?
Here's her SFW intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2cQW_MQRtQS
