bahaha. I love that ad.

I was just saying that the detail they go to avoid certain censorship (ie, speedo) but the car going backwards is deemed ok. Its just strange.

Like the BMW ad being banned.

I saw that ad - the idea was to catapult all these things into the sky to make it rain Toohey's Extra Dry or something.

The "people" thrown up were two very hot girls.

They give good head.

And right there is the magic in clever advertising.

I had 'UTE' under my cap a few times and sent it in but won nothing.

This was back in 2003-2004.

Never been a big fan of the product and while the ad is fun enough like most ads i'm yet to work out what drifting a hairdresser's ute has to do with ice coffee....
I bet Harold actually wrote in about this ad.

Unfortunately for him, it is only ads that are selling cars that are not allowed to show cars doing things that would be illegal if they were performed on any public road. The particular code that applies to ads selling vehicles is FCAI voluntary code of practise.

If you search at adstandards.com.au you will soon be disgusted and infuriated by the types of complaints that are received by them.

ok, use the same advert, just change the end logo and voice over to make it a holden ad, and see if they get the same reaction. just to them mind.
