I saw I think but to be honest didn't really take my notice.

Some people like moaning and complaining just for the sake of it.

The commercial that last held the ITC's complaints record was Levi's Kevin the hamster advert. It showed the animal dying of boredom after his wheel broke. The ad was banned after just a few days following 544 complaints. So great was the outcry, Kevin's owner had to publicly assure viewers the animal was alive and well.

I remember that advert absolutely class.

It's not as bad as the new Andrex toilet roll one when the guy has eaten Indian & got the shits and cos he's so soft uses the andrex puppy to clean up his faeces

LOL

it werent as bad as they make it out to be! i thought it was rather shit anyways

It aint getting banned, it just wont be on till 9 at night. The reason why it is gonna be on that late was coz loads of little kids were shitting themselves.

Thats good news, I was hacked off that I hadn't seen it and that it would be banned, I wanna see what all the hubub is about

EDIT: just read the article, what a sad bunch of people they must be

I wonder if they'll ever air that new nokia advert with the ickle puddy-tat

Fooking hilarious that is

I found it funny,

Why are people in the uk such miserable arseholes. We need some good funny adverts in the uk, most of them are rubbish.

Look at all the funny adverts on Tarrant On TV, all of the funny ads come from other countries.

I think it was a JML infomercial for one of their dodgy products, they run the least watched channel on sky digital, behind the god channel
