Some complaints are easier to resolve than others. More than 100 viewers complained to the ITC last month about an ad for computer giant Intel, which showed mountaineers on Mount Everest accessing the internet via a Centrino wireless laptop. "Not possible!" cried viewers. "Oh yes it is," said Intel, which explained that a wireless internet connection is available at the Everest base camp, connected by satellite. A straightforward question, easily resolved.
Other issues prove rather stickier. The ad campaign for Wrigley's X-cite chewing gum, which showed a man regurgitating a dog and used the tagline "Avoid dog breath", generated a record 864 complaints.
The hairy dog breath ad and the Intel on Mt Everest ad discussed previously under those links.
In contrast to TV and radio, there is no clearing house to vet print ads, although a free copy advisory service is available. Last month's Barnardo's campaign aimed at raising awareness about child poverty, which featured an image of a cockroach crawling out of a baby's mouth, generated a record 387 complaints.

Two filmmakers are getting attention around the Net for an "antiadvertising" project aimed at protesting what they call the "dirty secret" of the iPod music player--its battery life.
Brothers Casey and Van Neistat, who collaborate on video projects using Mac editing software, said they were told by a technical support representative at Apple Computer that the cost to replace the dead battery in an 18-month-old iPod would be $255--comparable to the cost of a new device. Irked at what seemed to be the early obsolescence of the music player, the brothers trekked around New York City stenciling the words "iPod's unreplaceable battery lasts only 18 months" on all the iPod posters they could find.
Now the Neistats claim that the video they created of their exploits is getting 50,000 hits a day on the Web site Ipodsdirtysecret.com. As of Wednesday afternoon, the site's traffic counter indicated it had seen more than 194,000 visitors.
As it turns out, it's possible to replace the battery for as little as $49 using third-party kits.
YO!!

Ministers deny TV advertising helps to fuel child obesity
Australia's health ministers have rejected widening calls for a ban on television food advertising aimed at children, saying there is no evidence that promoting fatty, sugary foods to children makes them overweight.
The Australian Medical Association yesterday joined most other big doctors' groups in calling for a ban.
Participants at yesterday's health ministers conference in Sydney agreed obesity was a big cause of preventable health problems and poor eating habits were creating a huge health and financial burden. However, the push from doctors to ban the television advertising of inappropriate food was not discussed.
The AMA's decision to call for a ban comes after the release this week of a report, Children's Health or Corporate Wealth, compiled by the Coalition on Food Advertising to Children, which found the vast majority of commercials were for foods high in fat, sugar or salt, and of low nutritional value, and cited studies showing these influenced children's diets.
Michael Rice, the children's health spokesman for the AMA, said: "Health ministers must today put children's health ahead of the wealth of big business by banning the TV advertising of unsuitable and unhealthy food to kids.
"Studies have shown that advertising unsuitable foods during peak children's television viewing times leads to an increase in the consumption of these foods."
