I thought it was a bit of a risky advert, but FFS, it's a drivers car that will get driven, often like that - it's advertising to it's market.
The Kingsmill advert needs to go though, THAT I do have a problem with.
Or ANY advert that mentions buying something because its xmas
They have nothing on the Go Compare adverts, however I now enjoy the ones when the fatty gets caught in a trap
but you know, that once all these complainers get all the ad's banned. and all it will be is Tesco like adverts, a white background, a product and a price, thosep eople wil lbe compaining that advertisers are boring.
Every bit of 'fun' gets taken off us, eventually.
It wouldn't surprise me if Toyota had something to do with the ad being banned just to cause some more hype over the car.
Exactly what I was thinking kingj.
I must be getting old and cultured. I assumed the ad was based on 1984.
I presume you haven't seen it

Having been a teacher and fought daily with this kind of thing, the advert sends out completely the wrong message.
You're right. I hadn't seen it. Hmm. Says she's 18 so no issue there but being portrayed as a minor I can understand the issue there. And driving through Boston in the morning when I worked at Nissan, there did seem to be a lot of very short skirts that no reasonable parent would let their daughter outside in. I certainly wouldn't want my daughter (if I had one) going out in public dressed like a $5 whore like many young girls seem to today.
Yea the model is 18, but like you say portrayed as a 15/16 year old.
Parents either don't care generally (more often than not I think) OR do care, but the girls pull the skirts up when they leave home and 20 times throughout their school day, whilst re-applying eye-liner, etc. Half of teaching hours is spent sorting this kind of shit out.
Add it to one of the 100 reasons I left education
I'm still looking to go into teaching but deliberately avoiding secondary - this is one of the issues why. Primary is the route I want to take as there are too few male primary teachers - every school we've looked at for our 3yo to start next September seem to be exclusively female teaching staff. Not saying women are bad teachers but I believe a male role model as well as female in a childs formative years can be nothing but a good thing.
Yea, male primary teachers generally tend to be year 5 or 6, so just before the kids leave for secondary, and are in demand too. I think it's fair to say there less issues at primary level than secondary, however I lost faith in the system as a whole - but that's for another thread
I mentioned this to my boss, who has a GT86. He said he's never seen the advert, but still drives it like a cnut anyway. So banning the ad achieves nothing!
