People whinging about adverts, get a grip!

[Silent1]

Apparently this advert condones speeding and acceleration and as such has been banned

ASA Adjudication here

Any other country shows cars drifting and generally makes the adverts interesting, here a stationary car is enough to make it illegal because it could possibly be driven quickly.
I could kill someone with my rifle, quick lets ban them, oh, they tried didn't they..

Do you know the rules governing car ads? Did you read the assessment? If so, it's probably you who should get a grip.

Yes but the rules shouldn't be that way, it's pathetic, it stinks of health and safety bks.

So your gripe is with the ASA, not really people asking them to enforce their rules?

Both, the rules are rubbish and the people asking them to be enforced are almost certainly the brake type.

That's one example and it's old. Australia are usually a long way ahead of us on Health and Safety type legislation.

Here's another:

Jesus, Ling valentine comes across as a spoilt whiny basement dweller in her Ada complaint, does she not understand that whether its a joke or not if it breaks the rules then they have to adjudicate on it, it strikes me that she wants to play by her own rules.

The original adverts of hers I couldn't have cared less about but the way she behaved shows her true colours IMHO, well that and the way she has some sort of almost stalker like fascination with PH after being banned from crapflooding the forum with adverts.
