Audi Slapped For Racy Advert For New Car

In this day and age we have to accept political correctness .... don't we
Well, Audi have had to cancel an advert for their new R8 sports car for being too racy
Not the saucy type but the association of speed with excitement.
The advertising standards authority (ASA) upheld a complaint from a viewer and slapped Audi's hand.
British television allows people to complain about adverts to the ASA and they decide if it is suitable for TV or not.
It takes all sorts I suppose but hey, take a look yourself ... if you can afford such a car

Blinkin' ell.
We all know that sex used to sell cars and they stopped all that but this sort of censorship is not on.

Too many regulations

What a useless bunch of people for banning an advert like this.
I think it is artistic.

What does their new advert look like then if this one was taken down?

Its an ok advertisement to me, what is wrong with these people?

Wow a revving engine does all this

More publicity for Audi

Daft innit.
I am sure Audi thinks the same.

Silly stuff this.
