Not just Good Vibrations, Great Vibrations
Sadly, when the Ad Standards Board determines a complaint, it’s not always possible to find video of the ad in question.
So you’ll have to use your imagination about the following complained about ad for adult store Good Vibrations.
“Close up of a woman’s spread legs, from the thighs to the shoes. There is a champagne bottle on the floor between the legs and as it pops a female voice over says, “It’s coming”.
“A male voice over then continues, ‘Good Vibrations adult erotica mega store’.
“We see a hand clenching a white sheet and the words “Good Vibrations adult erotica mega store 1170 South Road, Clovelly Park” appear on screen.”
Sadly, Dr Mumbo has been unable to track down a copy of the ad itself, which had the complaint upheld.
However, his friends at Ebiquity did find three other ads in the campaign.
Ladies and gentlemen, please stand back and salute Adelaide advertising at its high production values finest. If this work doesn’t get recognised at the AADC Awards, then there’s no justice.
There is nothing like Adelaide retail advertising… our TV and radio stations have more direct sales reps than any other city… and it shows!

What a laugh! loved the first advert, just a good fun play with words how harmless is that.
We really do need to counter the wowsers as things are getting decidedly staid.
Have people really forgotten how to laugh that much?
