This week, they’re back — with an ad featuring a flummoxed young professional who’s about to be unceremoniously hanged with a rainbow-hued noose. And right at her desk, too.

The copy reads: “Same Sex Marriage Increases PC bullying In The Workplace.”

Australian MP Tim Watts is, of course, highly displeased:

Meanwhile, Twitter users wasted no time in voicing their own outrage and concern, as evidenced by the tweet below.
