Online dating website Match.com is under fire for British subway posters that seem to criticize people with red hair and freckles. The ads, spotted in London’s Underground, show a close-up photo of hazel eyes set below red bangs and a sprinkle of freckles. “If you don’t like your imperfections, someone else will,” the tagline reads. Public response was swift on social media, with many labeling the posters as “bullying.”
