Reply To: Independent Porsche specialist’s “sexist” advert banned

[Jon Morgan]

Crazy story. Advertising uses sex to sell on a grand scale daily, there appears to be a poor judgement taken here. I think with this in mind, it’s probably time for the ASA to ban the Coca Cola advert where a well muscled male window cleaner strips to drink a tin of Coke while the gallery of (attractive) women lick their lips in a sexually heated manner. The last thing I wish to see on my TV is a bloke stripping to drink a can of sugar laced junk food. I also feel all ladies and gentlemen in adverts should be wearing dinner suits and be forced to stand up straight in order to avoid possible sexually questionable poses which offend people with no animal magnetism running through their veins. The end of the human race is nigh! Men can no longer be attracted to women and women to men. I don’t recall re-entering the Victorian era, but maybe I missed something? Any chance of publishing the ad? 😉
