LONDON -- If you're lucky enough to have red hair and freckles, then you might not be too pleased about Match.com's latest advert on the London Underground.
Match's new ad features a close-up image of a woman's befreckled face framed with red hair, alongside the tagline "if you don't like your imperfections, someone else will."

The Advertising Standards Authority told Mashableit had received around half a dozen complaints and officials are currently assessing the situation and whether to take action.
In a statement emailed to Mashable, Match.com responded to criticism of the ad, and said it is in the process of arranging to have the posters removed.
We have taken note of the response about our advert concerning freckles. Following this feedback, we are in discussions with our relevant partners about removing these posters as soon as possible.
We believe freckles are beautiful. The intention of our ‘Love Your Imperfections’ campaign is to focus on the quirks and idiosyncrasies that people wrongly perceive to be imperfections – this can include freckles, a feature that is sometimes seen as an imperfection by people who have them. We’re sorry if this ad has been interpreted in a different way and we apologise for any offence caused, this was not our intention.
Our overall campaign is all about celebrating perceived physical and behavioural imperfections, from having freckles to being chubby, messy or clumsy. The adverts are designed to encourage everyone to be proud of their individuality, as the features that make us unique are often the ones that make us most attractive.
