LONDON — A woman's exposed bottom is probably the last thing you'd expect to see in a car park.

But that's nonetheless what Twitter user Alice Gray spotted in her gym car park in Cardiff, Wales.

UFit gym's advert features an image of a woman's bum alongside the text "there's better things to be stuck behind than the car in front". The ad has prompted a massive social media backlash after people accused it of sexism and objectification.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
