"We sell big knockers" poster banned

[tabouleh]

I read in Sarah Vine's column in the Times today about an ASA ruling banning a poster which objectified women.

A poster for Tricketts, a door and window installation company, featured a topless woman whose breasts were covered by door knockers. Text stated "WE SELL BIG KNOCKERS Window Hinges Door Handles Window Handles ...".

Ruling here.

What I found interesting is that it only took 1 person to report this.

Therefore it is worth reporting things to the ASA (although I am aware that they are an industry self-regulating body and that the objectification has to be pretty overt for them to act).

I reported the Dr Pepper Status Takeover and am awaiting a reply to that.

Yeah good luck. I'm amazed that an ad with 1 teeny complaint can get pulled while loads of us complained about a couple of offensive ads only to be told not to worry our pretty little heads about it.

They sold big Knockers...

Heh. Thats funny!

shame to get rid of the advert really. Im glad the 'Total fucking lack of a sense of humor' police are still on force
