What a joke....

[XRchic]

That is just stupid. I think some people just enjoy complaining to the media about things like that. Have they never heard of "advertising puff" which is a concept, funnily enough, derived in law, where there is no real obligation to be totally truthful and literal in advertisements, because it is generally accepted that the public/consumer who sees it can distinguish between reality and fantasy/joke etc...

Like, we KNOW camels and childrren cannot drive. We know that ducks do not do burnouts in toilet bowls. We know that Commodores do not make crop circles in paddocks of wheat.

By removing those kinds of ads, it is basically admitting that we have no common sense and do not have the intelligence of a 5 year old. We lose the responsibility to judge with our own minds on what to think.... the thinking is being done for us.

Dont get me started about school zones though, after the other day, seeing some old guy drive through one doing 60 in the 25 zone, the little girl at the crossing thinking he might stop (she was maybe 6) and with the old guy going way to fast, before he realised she was there and was about to cross at the crossing (which had orange flashing light) and skidded all the way through the crossing. The girl had the sense to hang back on the footpath, but if she HAD crossed as she had a right to do, she would have been clean up by the stupid old guy.

Incidentally, that old guy was up my backside and carrying on behind me as I was doing 25 in the school zone, before I turned off, and saw him overtake me and do that!

Oh yeah, and the idiot in the Skyline who lives in our somewhat windy, peaceful street who thought he would try and drift around the corner, lose it and nearly fly into the front yard of an old couple tending their garden.... but that is off topic... LOL.

Point being, there are other, more important things to worry about IMO, than ads on friggin tv!!!
