0801NI shed tears every time I see an advert that defies all that humanity stands
0811Y44C5Y70C1Nfor. Did you know that every time the words Tampax, The Freedom Within, are
0801Nsaid on national television a fairy dies? I did. Recently a German tourist
0801Ncame to England. While watching TV she was horrified at a particularly
0801Ngraphic advert for a popular snack bar. The next day ITC were amazed to find
0801Nthe words "I have just seen an advert in which a penis bangs its head
0801Nrepeatedly against a cheese grater thus chopping itself into little pieces
0801Nand I demand it is banned" on their answering machine. I can only express
0801Nextreme relief that the woman in question did not see an advert for 'Peparami
0801NWide Boy' or the advert in which a half eaten

0824Y00F05prime08Y00J0Y00C1N
0801Nbounds down the high street demanding to know why he hasn't been fully eaten
0801Nand whether or not he is 'Too Spicy'. Be thankful Mrs Swinehoffen (or
0801Nwhatever your name was...) that peparami's are not ball shaped or the advert
0801Nin which a peparami bursts out of somebody's shopping screaming "I won't
0801Nshare a bag with anyone" might have been highly disturbing.
0801N
0801NOther misunderstood adverts have had effects far worse then convincing German
0801Ntourists that the English enjoy watching sentient penises with arms hack
0801Nthemselves to pieces or eat each other. Take for example the ASDA range of
0801Nadverts which convinced a whole generation of deaf children that slapping
0801Nyour arse was sign language for supermarket. The worst offender in
0801Nmisunderstood adverts comes from nestle for their Nesquik Cereal advert in
0801Nwhich small kids watched as a rabbit ate a bowl of his own faeces.
0801N
0801NAdvertising slogans that should have been?: "Colgate won't fade your mouth's
0801Ncolour like other toothpastes".
