The French poster for Barbie features a very NSFW tagline
The French poster for Barbie features a very NSFW tagline
The countdown is on for Greta Gerwig’s hotly anticipated Barbie film set to drop next month. Buzz around the film continues to grow, with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice recently dropping the soundtrack, 'Barbie World'. Margot Robbie, who will be joined by Ryan Gosling as Ken, also showed fans a glimpse into the Mattel doll's Dreamhouse with Architectural Digest. But now, attention has been turned to a French promo poster, which reads: "Elle peut tout faire. Lui, c’est juste Ken." The phrase is intended to mean: "She can do everything. He’s just Ken." However, the seemingly innocent tagline also has an NSFW interpretation, as many social media users pointed out. In French, "Ken" is a slang term for the F-bomb, which means the sentence could also be read as: "She knows how to do everything. He just knows how to f***," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"This is the reason why diversity is so important, especially in Marketing teams," another said. "This translation was probably done by Gen X; Millennials and Gen Z were not involved." Meanwhile, a third fan wrote: "This movie is my EVERYTHING and it's not even out yet" – and they're right. The unreleased film has already caused a worldwide shortage of the colour pink. Production designer Sarah Greenwood spoke to Architectural Digest and revealed that the creation of the set led to a shortage of the fluorescent shade of Rosco paints. "The world ran out of pink," she said. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

TikTok responds to reports of users sharing letter from bin Laden
TikTok responds to reports of users sharing letter from bin Laden
TikTok is “proactively and aggressively” removing posts seemingly glorifying Osama bin Laden, it has said. A series of videos that shared a letter from bin Laden justifying the 9/11 attacks were published across the platform, and TikTok said it was “investigating” how it had happened. But it also said that reports about the spread of the posts had been exaggerated, and that the number of videos was actually small. The controversy began in recent days after a host of videos were highlighted by journalist Yashar Ali, in a tweet. He said there were “thousands of TikToks (at least)” that shared the letter from bin Laden. “The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again,” he said. “Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance to a hostile power.” The tweet led to criticism of TikTok as well as its users, including from the White House. “There is never a justification for spreading the repugnant, evil and antisemitic lies that the leader of Al Qaeda issued just after committing the worst terrorist attack in American history,” a spokesperson said. TikTok said however that the spread of the posts had been relatively limited and that it was not true that the videos were trending. “Content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism,” the company wrote on its TikTok account. “We are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform. “The number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate. This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared across multiple platforms and the media.” TikTok does not provide readily accessible information about the spread of posts on its platform. Some of the videos had tens of thousands of likes and views. Many of the TikToks pointed to a copy of the letter that had been posted on The Guardian’s website. As it began to spread, the newspaper removed the page, replacing it with a note that it was lacking “the full context” and instead directed readers to a news article about the original letter.
