\n Audi has yanked an ad showing a little girl eating a banana in front one of its cars \u2014 following backlash that the image was sexually suggestive.<\/p>\n

The ad from the German carmaker carried the slogan \u201cLet your heart beat faster \u2014 in every aspect\u201d and featured the child with a banana in her hand and leaning on the grill of the red RS 4, BBC News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was being marketed as a family car with an emergency braking system \u2014 but some critics took issue on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, let your heart beat faster in every aspect? Picture of \u2014 child with banana in mouth and flash car \u2014 so wrong in EVERY aspect,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

Another wrote: \u201cAHH come on. The banana, pose, red colour are incredibly suggestive,\u201d before adding: \u201cI have studied Freud, Mulvey, this reeks of the male gaze.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others then took issue with the message the brand may have been sending by placing the child in front of the car \u2014 where the driver wouldn\u2019t be able to see her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a learning point, I would like to know how this came about. When I saw the photo of the child, my heart lurched,\u201d a mom tweeted. \u201cI have drummed into my children NEVER to stand in front of or behind a car as you may not be seen. Were any parents\/mothers involved in this design?\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some called out the critics for thinking the ad was too provocative.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people have very sick minds and need a LOT of therapy because there are some serious mental issues going on with them,\u201d one tweet suggested.<\/p>\n

Audi issued an apology Monday on Twitter, saying, \u201cWe hear you and let\u2019s get this straight: We care for children.\u201d<\/p>\n

It said it would conduct an internal review of how the campaign was created in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hoped we could convey these messages, showing that even for the weakest traffic participants it is possible to relaxingly lean on the RS technology<\/a>,\u201d Audi explained. \u201cThat was a mistake! Audi never intended to hurt anyone\u2019s feelings.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
