I think you're wasting your time based on my own past experience. They are an advertising industry self regulatory body with no statutory powers. If they do eventually make a ruling in favour of your complaints then it will probably come long after the advertising campaign has run its course.
These girls were around 14 years old - its an impressionable age.
You suppose what depends on this? How quickly they act? I'm not aware of this being the case but then their processes and procedures are not exactly very transparent so we can't really judge. Good to know that there are such unilaterally appointed non statutory arbiters of what is deemed to be acceptable protecting us from ourselves though.I suppose it depends on how many people complain, on what grounds etc...
Would the target market actually be scanning the ad for flaws or just be taken in by the colours , music, fun vibe etc. Would anyone actually link having fun with not wearing their seat belt? I think not.
It made me highly concerned that young girls might think it was a good idea to dance round the backs of cars with no seatbelts on. These girls were around 14 years old - its an impressionable age.
The driver in the car is legally responsible for ensuring that any children are wearing their seatbelts.
Personally, I prefer the old "Sure" ads some obviously naked young ladies sprayed the deoderant onto their torsos through a "tick" shaped hole in a big leaf, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the spray on the treated area relative to every other part of their bodies.
Amazing what you remember from your teenage years!
Didn't they then go on to climb a cliff or tree or something to work up a sweat? That was very dangerous behaviour. Surely it should have been banned?Personally, I prefer the old "Sure" ads some obviously naked young ladies sprayed the deoderant onto their torsos through a "tick" shaped hole in a big leaf, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the spray on the treated area relative to every other part of their bodies.

While your at it you could ban the latest lynx ad as it shows girls leaning out of a car (no seat belts) to grab a mans chocolate arm!. I'm sure there are more examples.
This ad is racist, sexist and gratuitously violent.While your at it you could ban the latest lynx ad as it shows girls leaning out of a car (no seat belts) to grab a mans chocolate arm!. I'm sure there are more examples.
