A recent ad from candidate Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno is under fire for its content that attacks the two other gubernatorial candidates incumbent Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama and Agus Yudhoyono.
The ad features a girl trying to decide which one out of three guys she would date. The girl is shown talking to her parents about the three guys' positive and negative traits.However, she clearly refers to Agus and Ahok's known weaknesses when talking about the possible boyfriends.
Writer and activist Mohammad Guntur Romly brought up the ad on his Twitter account @GunRomli yesterday.

There has yet to be any clarification from Anies and Sandi's camp whether this ad is an official ad nor further comments regarding the controversy.
How about you? What's your take on this ad?
