Would you have banned this ad?

The ASA believe that it implies that matey will need a pint of "dutch" Courage to tell his girlfriend that she's got an arse like a hippo. Apparently anything that implies drinking gives you confidence is now against the rules.

Well. Errrm.

We ALL know drinking gives you confidence! It's usually the excess of confidence that causes the trouble! That's funny!

An ad agency tells the truth about the product - and somehow that's against the rules? Very odd...

www.dailymash.co.uk are running an amusing article on this at the moment.

To be fair to the ASA though they've had a tough time of late. They had to rule that the statement "there probably is no God" was factually accurate earlier this year.

Which I found hilarious.
