Bar in New Zealand Sparks Controversy, Roasted For Posting Job Ad With Requirements For 'Double D Breasts'


Photos have surfaced of a wanted ad allegedly posted in a bar in the South Island of New Zealand, calling for a part-time worker who "Must have double D breasts," among other qualities. 

The ad appears to have been posted in the window of Stumpers bar in Hokitika, a small town on the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The ad reads as follows.

"WANTED:
Part-Time Bar Staff
Apply with-in-
Must have Double D
Breasts, A Great
Smile & A Good
Attitude, But Men
Can Also Apply!!!"

Photos of the job posting have been making rounds online and drawing the ire of the internet wherever they are posted. The images eventually wound up on Reddit's r/antiwork community, which often deals with issues of employment and hosts discussions about the problems workers face in the modern workplace. Unsurprisingly, commenters within this online community were outraged at the posting, pointing out how sexist and demeaning its requirements were.

"The owner's trying to hire Meatloaf," user mannygay jokingly remarked.

"Men with Double D breasts, this is your time to shine," quipped DontSubtweetMe.

"Don't know New Zealand law but I am guessing that might not be quite legal," said autisticsh*tshow.

Commenters on the Facebook posts of New Zealand news stations were not quite so sympathetic. 

"Not sexist, good bit of humour, people have got to chill out!" remarked one commenter.
 

Scroll on for images of the ad and reactions from the r/antiwork thread. What do you think? Sexist malarky or just a good bit of humor?
