and the Welsh, they're the real sheep shaggers

While I'm not Welsh, I've lived in Wales for some time and I've been informed the reputation comes from after the English conquest in the middle ages; English law of the time apparently demanded death for those who stole sheep but lesser penalties for those caught shagging them. Therefore Welsh poachers when caught red-handed would claim to be having their way with the livestock rather than stealing it.

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.

People were aroused by this? Even my furry ass was like: "what a basic sheep." I get that she passes the Harkness test but.. Meh?

Meh?

Mmmmehhhh. If you're gonna bleat, really get into it.

I would imagine New Zealanders should be sensitive and wise about sheep sexualisation jokes...

I took the commenter's implication to be that True Journalists would have looked into the images and been able to confirm if they were, in fact, pornographic.

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.

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...

The CEO is upset at being the only Scalie in the room

It's a bank owned by the New Zealand government, so if you're not based in New Zealand, that's not a surprise.

True. They're also owned by the NZ government, actually.

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

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

Why did they give a sheep eyeliner?

Yes, a real bank.

But not really safeguarded. New Zealand doesn’t do deposit protection like the FDIC.

It's the old classic Scottish joke again:

A man at the bar is complaining:
"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No!
And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No!
And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
"but you fuck one sheep..."
