Another Advertising rant

    Has anyone seen the new FM104 ad? "Shock and Awe" in big read letters and FM104 inside a picture of a grenade!

    Whatever other people think about using scantily clad women in ads I think making a joke out of war is the worst possible taste!

    I agree, making a joke out of war is just not on.

    I think they know this and are most probably trying to "shock and awe"

    Most advertisers put out ads they know are going to shock people and produce uproar ringing Gerry Ryan and complaining to standards boards etc. I think this is where we hear, "there's no such thing as bad publicity"

    Advertising standards board seems to me to be a bit of an oxymoron.
