"An ad for birdwatching from Australia's Christmas Island appears have run afoul of Facebook's rules. \nThe social network banned a cheeky ad for its Bird 'n' Nature Week that referred to \"boobies,\" a double entendre that ostensibly refers to birds known by that name. However, the ads may have pushed things too far by with a call for \"Some gorgeous shots here of some juvenile boobies,\" combined with images of a brown booby, a red-footed booby, brown booby and an Abbott's booby.\nAccording to Travel Daily News, the copy \"breached Facebook's Ad guidelines by 'addressing the age, gender or sexual orientation of users on Facebook.'\"\nLinda Cash, marketing manager of the Christmas Island Tourism Association, told the publication that \"we presumed our original advert was blocked automatically so we appealed to Facebook directly who re-affirmed the campaign was banned due to the sexual language \u2014 particularly the use of the word 'boobies.'\" \nReps from Facebook could not be reached for comment.\nThis isn't the first time Facebook has come down on potentially salacious copy and imagery. Facebook also banned a picture of a woman in a bathtub last year when it mistook her elbows for breasts. \n[via Adweek] \nImage: Getty, Richard Bouhet"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
