The Spanish version of the sign reads:
"You must have a permit to play on this playground.
Violators risk arrest."

The literal translation would be "violators susceptible to police action" I kind of lol'ed at a latino toddler being arrested in cuffs for using the public playground reminds me of trent boyett being arrested in south park.

Yeah but that didn't make any sense in English. Spanish has a way of using 10 words to say what English can in 3-4. I was on the Miami Metrorail and I shit you not this was the bilingual sign on the door between train cars:
"Emergency Passage Only"
"Paso prohibido excepto en caso de emergencia"

Only the MTV twitter is even close. But maybe it's just a bad joke?
The sketch itself was stupid, so maybe they are being sarcastic.
Things like the sign are just mistakes...

The sign is used in English too and they put the wrong Spanish version there.

The Dove one is clearly some racist in the ad department sneaking one by.
I see no context where that even makes sense.
Same with MTV Australia... wtf?
The signs... meh. Translation error?

Nah as splinty pointed out it just looks like they forgot to put the english signs up in the OP telling people the need permits to play a sports on the field,which led to the comical implication that latinos would be arrested if they used the facility.

Does that ad actually make someone feel oppressed? I mean, you got 3 women who can make money based on their appearance in a non-sexual way, isn't that a healthy thing? You also got a multi-million dollar brand that puts goop into plastic bottles that probably cause a lot of pollution when they're empty but someone's telling us to focus on the colour and position of the models?
