4 great ads - all banned

Published

Violent. Rude. Sexist. Dangerous. And harmful to animals. Here's some top TV ads that have fallen foul of the authorities.

Suicide Bomber. Volkswagen

Here's an idea. How about we show a suicide bomber in an ad designed to show the VW Polo as a 'Small but tough' car. Yep, could work.


 

Chavs. Paddy Power

Wrong. Unpleasant. Highly offensive. Yet brilliant in every way.


Kylie. Agent Provocateur

Lingerie ad featuring pop star writhing on a mechanised rodeo bull. Voted the greatest cult cinema advert of all time.


Snow road. Mercedes Benz

OK, it's not the sort of thing that responsible role models should be advocating, but what a great ad all the same.
