Costa Coffee Facing Boycott Over 'Irresponsible' Advert Of Trans Man


Recommended Posts

Costa Coffee is facing a boycott over an “irresponsible” cartoon advert of a trans man after a double mastectomy.

The cartoon, which is on a Costa Express van in the UK, depicts a recently transitioned man in a surfing pose with large lips, blue hair and scars typical of a breast removal operation.

The image has circulated widely on social media, leading to calls for a boycott of the coffee franchise, with #BoycottCostaCoffee trending on Twitter.

Will you be boycotting Costa coffee for the cartoon or for the fact its coffee tastes like ass?

Neither.

Nor me. And the 'story' is typical of today's 'let's find something to feel angry about' culture, which is about as intelligent as a mollusc.

 

Typical twits on Twitter.

 

Actually the above should read 'Typical twonks on twitter', but it didn't sound quite as poetic when I thought about it.

Nonsense. Regular customers of Costa Coffee are not going to boycott them over an advert. 

Exactly.
