And that’s basically it!
OK? So don't make it so fuckable
This is the green M&M all over again

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...
John Oliver is going to run so hard with this.
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.
It's a bank owned by the New Zealand government, so if you're not based in New Zealand, that's not a surprise.
Kiwi should've given that away, duhhhh.
I assume that unless someone lives in New Zealand, that they probably aren't going to be using Kiwibank. They appear to only do business there.
There's something people here don't understand
When something happening in New Zealand gets global attention, everyone in the country takes notice
Kiwis wouldn't pay attention to the ads, but the instant that they get overseas eyes involved, they'll be all over it

Also, WOULD
I didn't go to school for 4 years for a dying field to stare at degen porn of bank mascots
If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life
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!"
The CEO is upset at being the only Scalie in the room
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.

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
If this doesn't make it onto John Oliver's show at some point, I will be very disappointed.
The fallout appears to be spreading. “I want to fuck the National Bank horse,” says one account.
I'm fuckin dead
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?

Maybe don't show her out on a date, then?

Oh c'mon, that's not fair, that's not a date. That's very obviously a hotel lobby, this is the morning after hooking up.
But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.
For every deranged penis they cut off, two more take its place! Hail Hydra!
Kwikbank: where men are men, and sheep are nervous
FBI is looking into it.
…for recruiting.
Anyone else think this a ploy to find candidates for the FBI on the US? If you open an account do you also get a job there?
It's advertising. They always do it on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBuly8Vblc
