Calm down people..since when are boobs offensive? Nando’s didnt show a naked lady or portray females in a negative light. When did Australians become so touchy???

Take it easy people… they are just breasts. Since when are boobs in a singlet top so offensive? When did Australia lose its humour?

I agree with Jonathan. ASB censorship gave more to the Nandos advert then Nandos would get from the TV advertising. There is a lot of controversy about Nandos adverts. Some websites are shocking militants against Nandos. At the end it is the taste of Nandos chicken we worry about. I like the reviews done by Australian Online Directory: http://www.website-marketing-a.....nandos.php
I also have my own blog about the Nandos topic http://nandos.blog.com/2009/03...../#comments. If the Nandos flamed grilled chicken is not good then women’s body in these silly adverts will not help them anyway.

And that the Australia board thought of the ad being sexist because of the double breasted burger innuendo? That’s a laugh! The way the model’s tongue works when searching for her straw suggestively looking at the waitress seems to me a totally come-on vibe

I don’t find the ad offensive.

What I DO find offensive, is the fact that it was pulled off-air to satisfy a couple of hairy-legged feminazis.

[...] Nando’s has run fowl of the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) again, this time over an ad for their Classic Double Breast Burger. They have upheld community complaints aginst it. The ad features a woman who can’t find her chips because her breasts are blocking her view. Not exactly a creative masterpiece, but it works. [...]

It will now be a YouTube sensation and get more eyeballs than if it ever screened.
Clever.

Could it be any worse?

Seems that the likes of Oportos, Nandos and Red Rooster are destined to deliver Eritreavably poor material from here to eternity.

Why is this ad hysterical?

WHAT are the ASB thinking?

This isn’t OK by the them but Cokes ‘truth’ campaign was?

Nandos – start collecting email addresses and take your campaigns online only.

The really objectionable aspect of this ad is that Nando’s would think to run a South African ad here, without even bothering to reshoot it with Aussie accents? And it feels slightly racist to me.

That’s a South African ad.

And a pretty bad one at that!

So I suspect both CHE and Sphere may be innocent parties here.

By the way, I’m no fan of new Portugasm campaign either.

Just who is the Nando’s target market anyway?
