Land Rover Adverts banned

[wpa1975]

I did wonder myself if the parking sensors would really work in this location

Yes I remember seeing the advert and thinking so too... then I started to wonder how many vertical cliff faces there are in Kensington...

So, to clarify, an advertisement probably seen by millions has been banned because TWO people complained?!

The world has truly gone mad...

Knowing my Mrs she only listens for the beeps and never looks at the camera so would fall off.

How much are these again?

As long as they stop people reversing over primary school children and nail technicians they should be fine!

Nope. It's been withdrawn because it is misleading. It doesn't matter how many people complained.

A correct decision IMHO. Somebody in the creative or marketing department doesn't know enough about the technical aspects of the cars.

I'm convinced some of the time advertisers complain (anonymously) about their own adverts, near the end of their planned run, in order to get some free publicity.

Not as misleading as the McDonald's 'Big Tasty' advert, yet that hasn't been withdrawn...
