Unlike pretty much everybody else in the world, Facebook apparently hates hot lesbian threesomes.

The social networking site rejected an ad for “And Then Came Lola”, which features three fully clothed women pressed against one another (ad to the right) The advertisement was removed on the following grounds:

The image of this ad is either irrelevant or inappropriate. Per sections 3 and 8 of Facebook's Advertising Guidelines, the image on your ad should be relevant and appropriate to the item being advertised. Make sure your image is directly relevant to what you are advertising. Images that are overly explicit, provocative, or that reveal too much skin are not allowed. Images that may either degrade or idealize any health condition or body type are also not allowed. If you choose to submit this ad again, please use an appropriate image that adheres to all of Facebook's Advertising Guidelines."


 

According to the filmmakers, the ad was specifically targeted to women interested in other women and only ones 18 and over (if the ad was intended to recruit minors to the degenerate gay lifestyle, they didn’t do a very good job).

Let's hope this triggers another Twitter firestorm, like the controversy over Amazon cutting the ratings of books dealing with LGBT issues.

The filmmakers are fighting back on the film’s Facebook page, with a discussion forum and other articles on the issue.

Digg!
