GT-86 - YOU'RE BANNED!
« on: 14 November 2012, 15:35 »
That naughty crashing into the real world advert has been banned:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/news/a438011/toyotas-grand-theft-auto-style-ad-banned-by-asa.html

A spokesdroid from the ASA who'd clearly had an irony bypass said:

"Because we considered the ad portrayed a car being driven, and the way the car could be handled in a manner that might encourage motorists to enjoy driving we concluded that the ad was irresponsible and condoned driving cars for enjoyment, which is obviously against the laws of nature."

Two complaints. Two.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
