New policy for TV shock ads ?

  • April 25th, 2008

I have to explain this clip:  a friend sent it to me because of the number of people complaining about the road safety shock ads.  This is a different approach.  Don’t watch it if the Danish lewd sense of humour could offend you. 

To preview a possible change of direction for LTSA see This will slow you down.

[Since this was posted objection has been raised, I think by Labour activists. To me it’s less raunchy than some of the dancing with the stars numbers. But if there seems to be genuine offence I will take this post down.]

Very good idea. But let’s hope that LTSA won’t use the old birds from Labour’s ranks. That would increase the crash rate as drivers would have to close their eyes to avoid instant blindness.

great idea but not so hot in NZ – our immature teeny boppers/boyracers, whatever, would clog the roads driving round and round the circuit perving.

i think this is really a danish tourism advertisement, under the disguise of a traffic advertisement, great thinking…

I’ll be offended if you do take it down, Steve! I guess there’s no pleasing everyone. 🙂

It’s a pity those girls weren’t there when Helen sped to Christchurch airport to catch a flight to a rugby match. She would have seen them if she was wasn’t such a liar about having her head down all the time.

Keep it posted you did put a clear warning in and if that tosser chose to watch it he has only himself to blame, he says he is a national voter but he sounds too thick for that

Is this supposed to be real? (Is anyone actually claiming it is?).I’m highly dubious. Two things are too comical to be legitimate. First, the Muslim who says “Denmark has redeemed itself” (presumably in reference to the Danish cartoons insulting some Muslims). Second, the traffic jam whilst the guy at the front is chatting up the girl MUST be staged.
