That Bernado's advert

[Adrian W]

Just heard on the radio that 400 people have complained and the ASA are investigating, what planet are they on "wkers"

[Heskey]

Which advert? The four idiots going 'hunting'?

Seemed like a bloody stupid advert anyway, I didn't see what angle they're pointing from!

[cronk-flakes]

The one with the hilarious slap sound?

[Oldandslow]

Which one? If it's the hunting them down like animals one then fair enough. I thought it was way over the top and misrepresented the comments used to make the script. I wasn't bothered enough to complain but that's laziness on my part.

Probably the one with the girl being hit on the head, buying drugs, beating up someone for money and crying in prison.

You just know it'll only be getting the complaints for the head slap, or possibly the crying bit because she's emotionally effected and psychologically scarred or whatever bull the idiots come up with to give her counselling.

I never saw such an ad; got a link?

[Spiritual_Beggar]

I know, its great isnt it! You can have murder, torture, etc on a show, but as soon as you stick that content into an advert....BAM....complaints. Im not sure I see there reasoning for this.

I think all people who complain about these adverts must be forced to leave their name and address, so we can all go round their house and slap them in the head, and tell them to get a life.

I guess these people haven't got the privelidge of a remote control so they can just CHANGE THE FECKING CHANNEL!

Yep that one

Wonder if the press will pick up on it, 400 complaints is a lot, after all, lot's has made about the 1 complaint received about John Barrowman getting his wang out on Live...eh radio, and not to mention the original 4 complaints received about Ross.

the agency should be commended

the ad works

Indeed. It does make for quite uncomfortable viewing, which is sort of the point. But there are a lot of people who don't want to believe that bad things happen in the world and would rather not look at it.

It makes me uncomfortable, and I hope that the money I donated at the last Barnardo's fundraiser I attended can help to make a difference to children affected by this sort of thing.

I can't actually see anything wrong with it. Don't the soaps show similar st.

Most adverts don't get my attention, but this one sure did

[Hyperion]

It's a horrible advert.

[largerandrock]

Saw this last night! Thought SKY was playing up again, it was GRIM

When it came on there were four of us watching tv and we all stopped talking to watch the ad. So, a very good advert.

Thats kind of the point though!!!!!!!!

Those dog charity, and african kids charity adverts are just as/ if not more shocking, yet they are fine!!!

What about drink driving adverts around Christmas? ......are they not shocking too? maybe we should complain to get them off the air as well!!


These adverts are done to serve a purpose! Hell, if any adverts DESERVED to be on the air it would be these type of adverts....ones with a point.....albeit a little preachy some of them, but worth my time over some stupid "Buy Now 42..NOW!" advert!!!

I don't get it at all. Is she crap at reading at school because she is thick or because of the repeated head slaps? or maybe is is the drugs?
