Straight in at Number 5..............  news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7373667.stmShane's Quorn ad has been included in the BBC's top Top 10 most controversial ads, good god man. Do people really have that much time on their hands. 181 complaints! |

Ha ha... how ridiculous.
No need to wade through the shitty BBC article, here's what is said about the Quorn ad:
A campaign on behalf of Marlow foods for their Quorn meat substitute showed a family meal, with the daughter objecting to the eating of Quorn on the basis that it was "her thing".
She brandishes a fork and threatens her brother with the words "touch my food - feel my fork".
Complainants said this was a depiction of a threat of violence and was therefore irresponsible and condoning bullying.
Feeling that the adverts were a light-hearted portrayal of family life, the ASA said it felt it was unlikely to encourage children to copy it, or cause harm to children or seriously offend.
Complaints not upheld

never even knew that advert was shane's handy work.... now i think about it though, the sustained violence and menace of the piece does reflect shane's overall approach
who complains about such things? a lot of the time if something happens in real life, right in front of me, i just let it go... maybe i need assertivness training. But still

"Top 10 Badger Impersonators" - surely you wouldn't want to be in that one Mr. Meadows... Or would you - and WOULD you be proud? Hmm... I fancy a go now - how exactly does one impersonate a badger anyhow?  N. |
