Surfstitch commercial banned by ad watchdog for ‘sexualised’ scenes
Surfstitch has had one of its ‘More Summer’ 15-second spots banned by the advertising watchdog for depicting a woman’s pubic area in a “sexual manner”.
The Advertising Standards Board said in one of the shots a woman is seen with her legs apart and although she is not shown engaging in sexual activity, the depiction “is sexualised”.
I’d be more concerned about the glorification of sun baking. That’s a genuinely dangerous activity.
Complaining about what you specifically perceive as being “sexualised” is one thing, but why not complain about the thing that actually kills people.
really? meanwhile we get bombarded by gambling ads wedged in during prime time family viewing hours. whoever’s in charge, your sensibilities are askew. hypocritical to say the least
