    The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) noted that consumers were "unlikely to be as proficient as the actors" at flipping and twirling the can around.

    Well if my kids fell for that kind of lame corporate joy ad campaign, the only H&S concern they'd have is me flaking a bean can at them.
    Myabe I'm better off not being a father...

    "Nine viewers complained that the advert encouraged "unsafe practice" and six believed it featured behaviour that could be dangerous for children to copy."

    Is that fifteen people or just nine (six of which being doubly ridiculous) that need to find something better to do with their time?

    Proper order. It's a very bad example to set to children. I'd like to see more ads banned. There's an ad for Fairy Liquid where a child is waiting for weeks his father to finish using up the bottle so he can make a rocket out of it. While it's commendable that they're showing the father doing the washing up rather than the mother it raises other concerns. What if there's a miniscule amount of washing up liquid around the lid of the bottle? The poor child could be killed if he puts it anywhere near his mouth.

    The ad itself was particularly gimpy and I cringed every time I saw it - that being said I think this is way OTT and a sign that society has become a nanny state while at the same time remains the cutthroat and dangerous place I've always known it to be, strange one.....

    So long as you don't use a can of beans to cut said throats, it's all grand.

    Any reason that gets the ad off my screen is fine with me.

    Any consumer that uploaded their own versions of the 'song' to social media should be sterilised.

    If people are so concerned about something like this that they feel the need to complain then they should have no concerns over their names and partial addresses being published.

    Everyone should have a right to privacy.

    These people should be able to make their stupid complaints without getting dragged on social media, and the ASA or whoever should be able to write back, privately, telling them where to stick their nonsense.

    This "let's name and shame" approach to life is only marginally better than the "let's complain and whine" school of thought, IMO.

    What the actual f%$k? Whatever about the 9 special souls who thought drumming on a baked bean can was an unsafe practice, I'm more concerned about who is listening to those sorts of complaints and taking them on board. A grand total of 15 people complained about the ad so it gets banned?

    It wasnt my favourite ad by any stretch but this is just bizarre.

    We haven't, the Brits have.

    The Indo conveniently forgets to specify that this was banned by the ASA in the UK.

    There's no thanks button on the OP's post but it's there for all the other posts. Odd.

    So I have! Screen went a bit twilight zone there. Looks like the Ad Safety Authority is not the only thing to go full retard.
