Jono 66 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 An ad for Daz washing powder featuring the pop group Right Said Fred has been cleared by the advertising watchdog after complaints that it was unsuitable for children.Five viewers complained, arguing that the ad was unsuitable for broadcast around children's television programmes, because of the use of the word "sexy" and the singer's "suggestive movements".Some children were reported to have asked their parents what "sexy" meant.But the ASA also noted that the dancing of a female character watching the band in a pub "was humorous, not sexual".http://media.guardian.co.uk/advertising/story/0,,2059379,00.htmlAmusing, I'm sure there have been far worst on the TV to complain about then that.

Riz 10 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Snobbish parents too far up their own arse to see that their kids hear worse in the playground. Eurgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 88 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 i cant recall this advert to be honest.but it's not the point, they should let their kids know about stuff like this as early as they can understand it. they need to know becuase as kids get older, some try stuff earlier than others you see. snobby loons, it's the way of the world they are just going to have to get over this.

Eyl9 10 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 That's pathetic, 'sexy' isn't the worst of words a child can hear. They could ask about other things. I agree, they'll definately hear worse from the playground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just taking the P*** out of itself, can't they see how funny it is?I read that they have doen 1 with Ricky Tomlinson in.

KingTutsWWH 10 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Ludicrous 'nanny state' nonsense.If you can't explain the word 'sexy' to a child (even one who's just learned to speak), you don't deserve to be a parent.Then try getting a 6 year old Spanish kid to pronounce the word 'can't' correctly, without having to explain why it is soooo important that he does!Nx Quote 'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

Kelly 10 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Haha, that's brilliant! My little sister does the same thing sometimes, and she's English! Though she is only two, so that's probably why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
