WATCH: Controversial French TV ad banned for being sexist

accreditation
This advertisement by French TV channel, France3 attempted to boast about how many women the company employs, however, their video wasn't as effective as they intended it to be.

The 38-second commercial showcased a messy, neglected home. Basically insinuating that this was all women's work.

During the entire commercial, a song fittingly plays, 'Where have all the women gone?'. 

According to the Daily Mail, the video was meant to run for three weeks, but was instantly pulled, because of the criticism it faced.

Here are some tweets responding to the ad:
