Streakers On The Run in Ads

Streakers On The Run in Ads

During a children's TV show on ITV in the UK, an Irn-Bru advert showed a group of male and female streakers with thier naughty bits pixelated who attack a misbehaving policeman on the football pitch and rip off his clothes while a man in the stands enjoys his Irn-Bru.

The Advertising Standards Authority criticised the broadcast for showing the advert for Irn-Bru on its Saturday daytime chart show, CD:UK, hosted by Cat Deeley.

Jump into the way back machine and in 2001 you'll find an ad directed by Kevin Smith for a fitness center using a naked man. Sure, this might not be the start of the footie streakers, but it's got plenty of pixilation. (SuperAdGrunts, click on images to view the spots.)
