Well i'm glad we have these agencys to stop us having free thought, just think of how bad it must of been before they were created.....

And I thought it was a Durex advert.

I refer you to my previous comment on this:

quote:I think MG must have asked their agency just to come up with dozens of adverts - the strategy being to keep getting them banned, hence creating maximum publicity for an advert that can't be withdraw because it's already pervasive in newspapers and magazines, then issue a new advert.

Job done.

The games up, MG marketing office - you can go back to the pub now...

Didn't do French Connection any harm, did it? The ASA whinged like hell, but they just told them to fcuk off......sales went thru the roof.

Benetton too, a few years ago.

Yes, maybe MG could do the same clever swapping of letters and come up with...


GM.

Ah yes! Genetically Modified Rovers.

(actually, this idea could work. For using my idea I want a ride in the MG Le Mans car with Anthony Reid in the pilots seat)
