View attachment 290950 The first picture is for Eastpac - too violent say the censors. Pic 2 & 3 are for Hamlet miniature cigarettes - too demeaning to little people Pic 4 - Harvey Nichols - Careless violence is viewed as morally offensive by critics. Source: bestrejectedadvertising.com

The Eastpak one doesn't seem really violent at all. Just the blood, maybe. It's actually really funny.

Text:
"Dear I'm writing to inform you that I will be terminating my contract effective as of ... I will be transferring my business to Virgin Mobile, who will not charge me to pick up my messages. Nor will they sting me with peak call charges, or stitch me up for line rental every month to the tune of 25 BLEEDIN' QUID, whilst having the nerve to tell me I'm getting free calls! And, to top it off, because I'm joining Virgin Mobile in June, whatever airtime I use in my first month, they'll give me back free (in the real sense of the word) to use whenever! In fact, they're offering me pretty much everything that you're blimmin' well not!! So you can take your contract, and shove it where the phone don't ring!!! NAFF OFF!!! Yours vengefully,... (A former customer of yours who's seen red)."

I love the Virgin Mobile one-it's like one of the things that I would get sent in emails, the funnies.

I'm basically posting all Guess ads that are considered provocative or offensive.





I thought some of these were funny because people called them too 'lesbian-oriented'. It made me laugh.

 

[xxOceanEyesxx]

The last few bothered people because the girl is underaged and the guy is like 27. I think Thais Oliveira is only 14?

anyway, all from bwgreyscale.com

 

[xxOceanEyesxx]

Some Versace ads considered offensive..





some of what's considered bad is a little....ridiculous.
