Controversial Air New Zealand Cougar TV Ad Commercial

This new ad for Air New Zealand was created to advertise their grab-a-seat deals, it ended up being being pulled from TV and had to be banned from the air due to people's complaints about the use of the term cougar. Rape Prevention Education director Kim McGregor told the NZ Herald the ad was objectionable on several levels and that some Air New Zealand staff were concerned about the promotion.

"They find it degrading and that it is encouraging potentially harmful behaviour, so my question is why is our national carrier promoting sexually predatory behaviour?"
