Default Re: A Volvo V60 ad that shows the car in drift and donut moves has kick-started a governm

"Scruby's a w*nker" clap clap.. clap clap clap "Scruby's a w*nker"....

Usual antics from that clown.

A bit off topic, but does anyone else get annoyed by those "funeral" or "life insurance" ads. They are constant and start to make me feel yuck.
I don't need to be reminded everyday that I will die in the future !

Yesh! Imagine all the grass being cut!
Fair comment. The message of that Victa ad was get a Victa and get to have relations with the neighbour.

What about the Peter Jackson suit ad? The guy comes home to find his Mrs in bed, as the guy has just escaped out the window. He finds the guy's suit jacket on the floor and sees that it's from PJ and he then understands why his Mrs has cheated on him.

These two are totally acceptable, yet, the Volvo ad isn't? Give me a break.

Watched the project the other night when it was raised ,as the guest lady was off the advertising standards panel , she said they are self regulated and its not until someone complains that they look at it in depth . If they think its ok they let it run first , but it only takes 1 person to complain ...not 1000 ,just 1 seriously you would think you could have a base number of complaints first say 20 or 50 before killing a companies huge ad costs , and as said before seriously if you dont like it change channels or pull ya cardigan over your head ...
