Will it not be seen as a job well done only when its taken off the air?
I only expressed MY opinion to the Advertising Standards Authority, it would take many opinions the same as mine to remove something from the air. I dont really see it as a job one way or the other - more that I availed of the opportunity of expressing myself through the proper channels.
Did anyone see that advert with the airport service vehicles drag-racing? A more disgraceful sight I never did see! What if airport workers copied them and started racing along the runway? My flight would never be ready on time! And don't get me started on the condition the luggage would be in!
Truthseeker,
i noticed, whilst watching Peppa Pig with my 18 month old that the whole family were not wearing seatbelts, including Mummy and Daddy pig. I probably wouldn't have noticed had it not been for this discussion.
Personally, I blame Peppa Pig.
That's stupid; Peppa pig is just a child. You should blame her parents Mr. and Mrs. Pig. If you are going to blame Peppa you may as well blame her little brother George.
(Don't ya just love watching TV with the kids!)
ps Peppa Pig is not a child ...she is a PIG!!!!
Someone should have phoned Liveline about the Sure ad.
Joe would have just loved to have said the immortal word. "Sure"
I sense some discrimination against pigs, cartoon pigs and even worse elderly aged pigs
The ASAI received 39 objections to the television advertisement, with complainants arguing that it gave the message that not wearing seatbelts was acceptable.
They stated that this ran contrary to the law and the policies of the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
When the ASAI contacted the RSA, the latter said it felt the advertisement did not portray a positive image in relation to seatbelt-wearing. "With this in mind and in view of the number of complaints received, the ASAI secretariat contacted the advertising agency and proposed that the advertising should be withdrawn," the ASAI said.
The advertising agency agreed to pull the advertisement before ASAI adjudication on the matter. It said there was no suggestion the vehicle was in motion and that it had confirmed with the RSA that the "vintage VW being used did not require seatbelts because of the age of the vehicle".
The ASAI "cautioned advertisers to show added care when advertising products that will attract younger viewers".
She's a child pig (pigs don't just appear fully grown you know).
Ha !, the Sure girl ad has been withdrawn following complaints to the ASAI, which were upheld.
great news garbow, and thanks for keeping an eye on this for the last two years.
