Yellow Brick Road Slap ad

The Ad Standards Board is investigating a number of complaints about an ad for Mark Bouris’ financial services company Yellow Brick Road which features people being slapped.

Bouris, who fronts The Celebrity Apprentice on Nine, features in the ad which urges “Give someone a super slap”.

The ad has triggered between 10 and 20 complaints to the ASB from people who fear it could trigger copycat behaviour. The ASB has told Mumbrella it will rule on the ad within a fortnight.
