Can anyone confirm the level of offensive with this?

Where is this offensive?
Turn it around. Instead of "He finally got a girlfriend. We got his action figures." make it "She finally got a boyfriend. We got her romance novels." Would they be able to run that in the same place they ran the actual billboard?

If yes, then there's nothing offensive. If no, then they're both offensive.
