I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Finally found out why I haven't seen this ad yet - in the Financial Times
ng the advert altogether. Denmark also has not shown the advert following concerns about a section showing the words Yes and No on a wall, which could conjure unhappy memories of the country's rejection in a referendum on the European Union's Maastricht treaty.
Meanwhile, the French version is missing a section showing a judge making a ruling amid worries about a possible link in viewers' minds between political life and presence in court. In Portugal, there was grumbling about the spelling of Anna in a classroom scene, since the name is Ana in Portuguese. Spain agreed to show the advert, but only if its closing message could also be translated in its four regional languages, at parliament's expense.
Ha! You thought they'd know that about Spain by now aye? Tsssk. Now, the unhappy memories of the Maastricht treaty suprised me while the "Ana" part made sense, just go into post and fix it I say. :)
Complaint:
Objection to an advertisement, in Campaign magazine, for tickets to an advertising awards ceremony. The advertisement showed a photo of an unbuttoned dress shirt with stains on the front and captions describing them. A lipstick stain at the bottom of the shirt was captioned "ZOE. CREATIVE SECRETARY". The complainant objected that the suggestion of oral sex was offensive and demeaned women, especially those who worked in advertising.
"The advertisers said they had not intended to cause offence to women in general or to those in advertising; they said the advertisement was intended to encourage people to attend their awards night." (so they could get their blowjobs?") "The publishers said their audience was sophisticated, professional and limited to those working in the media and advertising." (not any girls then, right?)
apparantly.

After a low-level MTV employee asked for changes in an ad for the hit documentary "Super Size Me," the film's distributors tried to parlay the dust-up into a Michael Moore-type publicity blitz....

"Little Leaguers deserve to see their heroes slide into bases, not ads," wrote Nethercutt, who is running for U.S. Senate.
"It's gotten beyond grotesque," Nader said. "The fans have to revolt here. Otherwise, they'll be looking at advertisements between advertisements."
Yeah we wrote about it in february, can't wait to see how it turns out.
And copywhore, I guess thats why they entered it only into the art direction category, hahaha. Unfortunatly for iPods iCandy the other stuff was miles better.
