Swearing in TV ads

Anschul [Edit] [Delete] 14:39, 12 June '06

Do you have this in the UK?
Is it allowed?

Last night in Sweden during the Portugal game Aftonbladet (Swedish tabloid) aired their latest ad which went something like this

opening shot - a square in Germany: Caption 'England players Hotel; June 20th, 4am'
German brass marching band standing outside hotel playing LOUD 'oompah' music

shout from hotel (english generic accent) 'Shut the fuck up you fucking wankers!'

Band stops

Swedish comedian Gunther comes around the corner and says to the band 'Good work guys'. Places wad of Euros into band leaders pocket. Says 'Keep going fellas - here's a little bonus', decks out the band in Swedish blue and gold wigs. The band strike up again.

Voices from Hotel 'For FUCK'S sake FUCK OFF!'

End

...

I like swearing in adverts but this one surprised me

DiScuss...
