Dodgy advertisement

Did anyone see the "pearl necklace" advertisement shown over the
Christmas period? Well done to whoever got that past the bureaucrats.

I saw that, it did raise a titter

 

Not as good as the Kipling ad IMHO

Yeah, made oi larf. Then had to explain to the missus, who wasn't quite so
amused when I offered to show her...

 

Yes, I *did* like that.

It's trade in time again.

It's top of the list here:

Bloody funny ad IMHO. It does bug me that such a small number of
moaners (in comparison of the total number of viewers) can get an ad
banned.

Interesting to see that the Honda 'It just works' ad will not be shown
in the states. Well, maybe it's not that interesting but I was
interested.

570 is, to the ITC, a huge number of complaints

Generally stuff can get banned when less than 10 wankers moan

For a real eye-opener, you wanna check out the ITC's webpage, that lists
people's complaints and action taken

Viewers will whine about almost anything. I couldn't believe how many
complaints an innocuous piece of shit like Emmerdale's had. But then, it
is aimed at the utterly brain dead ... like all soaps, really...

I know, but not really the point

See above

Yes, it's pathetic.

Very true. But why do they fucking moan? What's wrong with the off
button FFS?

Catman says...

IIRC it only takes one complaint and then "they" look at the ad again and decide if they
think it is offensive - if they do then blam it's gone.

On the other hand, lots of people can complain and if they decide that it's not offensive
then it stays. More the pity as I fucking hate that advert with all the nasty bottoms
(gets loads of complaints but stays).

 

Which one? The 'love your bum' one?

Turn it over then
