Pay particular attention to the automotive ads. It just frightens me that people actually think people will copy the actions in the ad. ITS JUST A FRIGGIN AD...

Some people just like to cry for the sake of crying.

Well - this is the world we live in.
If you upset one person on the field - then the game is off for everyone.

The fact that people sit down and take the time to complain about something so trivial really makes me wonder.

The response from iSelect is quite funny, some of the adds I think are not suitable but the majority of sample complaints seem a little over the top.

Which was the point I was trying to make before the usual suspects stepped in.
OMG, the tacho is going up too quick, must complain. OMG, my dumbarse kid is going to stick his arm out an open car window cause he saw it on TV, must complain. You want to know why advertising fails for some manufacturers, blame the people who bought you up. I'll sit back and wait for the Volkswagen Up ad to be banned because it's described as a monster so it has the potential to kill everyone.

In relation to the car ads. This has been going on for years now. That's why car ads are so tame now.
I was surprised that the Toyo 86 wasn't in that ad as well as the rolla ad were there was a human with a cat head doing stunts trying to get away from the cat mafia. I find it funny someone complained about the startrack ad were they said kids would immatate the person hanging out of the car while it was moving. Really? what parents are letting their kids do this??l

Reading the comments at the bottom of that webpage was funny. People were using it to complain about other ads.
Someone wants the budget direct ad banned because she doesn't use proper English. The person who was complaining could barely spell a word correctly or use proper punctuation. Who watches ads anyway. I just record everything on IQ and watch it later while fast forwarding all the ads. |

I couldn't believe the reason for the Holden Colorado ad being banned. If it's such a nanny state, how did these ads get allowed to be aired in the first place?

The thing that im appalled at most in the Lynx ad is Sophie Monk's lips! I have never seen lip implants that look good!
Lip implants ruin a woman's lips. I think all lip implants are shtt! I have no issue with brest implants, they usually make an improvement. |

I wish I could meet one of these ******* who complain about stupid little things like this. Imagine the dull life they live.
