Sex Toys in Airbnb Homestay Ads Spark Controversy
Recently, sex toys appeared on the latest advertising poster of the global homestay giant Airbnb (Airbnb), which quickly caused controversy on the Internet. In the advertisement, two band members were lying on the bed in the room, and a large cow appeared beside the bed. Brindle sex toy.
The B&B "Margate" in the advertisement is a retro-style single-family House (Margate Location House), located in Kent, England. It attracts many tourists to stay, professional photographers and even film crews come to shoot.
The B&B's exterior walls, stairs and bedrooms are bright lime green and pink.
Each room has vintage rugs in zebra or cow print — viewers can see photos of the rooms on Airbnb’s social media page @margatelocationhouse — as well as a glass dining table surrounded by zebra-print chairs and a large zebra sofa and a pink bathroom set with subway tiles.
Airbnb’s social media ads typically feature trendsetters, fashion designers or sexy bikini models.
However, a recent ad image left users stunned.
The two members of the well-known British local band "Pink Suits" (Pink Suits) are lying lazily on a cow-print bed. Both have bright pink hair and are half-naked although wearing socks, with pillows blocking key parts.
It didn't take long for eagle-eyed users to notice a large cowhide bondage sex toy at their feet. There are also cowboy hats, bandanas and scattered rose petals.
Pink Suits is known for its "queer feminist punk rock and rage" style.
The host of this homestay, Amy Exton, was rated as a star host on the Airbnb platform.
The listing description reads: "Margate Location House's set was created by interior designer Amy Exton and captures her signature acid aesthetic.
"This house is mainly rented for fashion shooting, film and television recording, and many tourists come here to rent it."
"The house is bright and colorful and is an internet celebrity spot in Margate, England."
The building has a long history, having once been a children's hospital dating back to 1902.
As one of the UK's distinctive homestay check-in spots, this controversial ad image has been published in many magazines and newspapers.
