Complaints beaver away at tampon ad

A list released by the Advertising Standards Bureau found the hotly debated Kotex U tampon ad showing a woman going about daily activities with a beaver in tow was the most complained about ad in 2008.

The ad, which received more than 185 complaints, tells its audience, "You only have one of them, so look after it'' and featured the animal which viewers understood to be a reference to female genitalia.

A Domino's pizza ad in which a character named Many Toppins uses the made-up term "Supercalafreakinawesome'' was the second most complained-about ad for the year.

"While `freakin' is not particularly terrible, on the ad, it sounds more like `friggin' and was repeated as such by my four-year old,'' one of the 145 people who complained said.

The controversial Advanced Medical Institute billboard ad also prompted more than 110 offended people to complain to the ASB, making it the third most objected to.

The billboard ad was one of three on the list which were discontinued after being found in breach of the Australian Association of National Advertisers' code of ethics.

Despite orders to replace the `want-longer-lasting-sex?' billboards by September, many were simply covered with "censored'' stickers.

Women's Forum Australia spokeswoman Melinda Tankard Reist said families were very upset by the company's outdoor campaign.

"In one case we heard that a six-year-old child asked his mother, `How long is it supposed to last?''' she said.

"They're forcing parents to have conversations with their children when they might have preferred to have waited until they were more mentally developed and it was the appropriate time.''

Also in the list was an Inghams television ad which suggested there was "something seriously wrong'' with people who didn't like chicken, and a pamphlet for the Tell the Truth Coalition which featured images of aborted foetuses.

ASB chief executive Fiona Jolly said the number of complaints was higher than in 2007, with some 2350 received about more than 540 ads.

"This year we launched a public education campaign to highlight to people that there is somewhere they can raise their concerns about any advertising,'' she said.

"Since the launch, the number of complaints to the ASB has continued to climb.''

Ms Tankard Reist said advertisers and brands needed to take complaints more seriously as consumers, particularly women, would just stop buying their products.

"If advertisers want to show some corporate social responsibility they need to listen to these concerns'' she said.

"Companies need to recognise that women make the bulk of household decisions.''


Upon posting this story I had been unable to post the text AND the video, for some strange reason, I hope it all makes sense now.
You tell me is it offensive? or just a bit of fun?

Islamic Assassins and terrorists supporters rampage through Sydney streets .

Purpose Bred Islamic Assassins rampage through Sydney streets in a show of support for "Palestinian" Terrorists

Again note the desecration of the Australian Flag "Guilt by Association" with these Godless savages,this is the flag of a nation founded and made possible by all the Religious and cultural beliefs that these Godless swine have vowed to destroy the moment it is within their power to do so,these Assassins are in our country for one purpose and one purpose only to do what they and their parents and grand parents and those before them did to the various Islamic countries they ran away from, make Australia like the Islamic nations that spawned them,unfit for human habitation.

I have to admit it is comforting to know that Annie " I used to be lunatic from the gracious days" & "I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind " Lennox, and Bianca Jagger and that doyen of social justice and all that is morally correct in the world "Mad Red" Ken Livingston are on the job doing whatever they can for the cause of peace,as if.


I noted that the medias coverage of the counter pro Israeli protest was at least the best part of 3 seconds.. I guess the media would rather see salivating Satan worshiping savages and their demonic off spring on the television screens of the nation delivering their Islamic leftist supported message of PEACE.
I know where the medias support lies in the "Palestinian cause" I wonder where they think average Australia's support lies? I mean EVEN the lefts media created celebrity & grade 4 Queensland public servant, and now Labor PM,Kevin 07, says he believes in God, or was that just an election line thrown to the "Working Families" ?

Australia's socialised medicine, Medi dont Care, Kills another Australian

Australia has without doubt the best third world Universal Health "Care" system, Medi dont Care,in the world and to prove it it has just killed another Australian.
Australia once had the best, bar none, Health Care system in the world, after 30 years of "free" Socialised medicine,Medicare, it is now, like everything else socialism's dead hand touches, is almost totally stuffed.

Eliminate the Cliche?

Kevin Rudd may take Guantanamo Bay inmates

KEVIN Rudd has left open the possibility of Australia taking former inmates from the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, but warned that any US request for an inmate to come would be subject to legal criteria and assessed on a case-by-case basis.

As the Greens warned the Prime Minister he faced a political backlash if he accepted detainees held in the US military jail at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, a spokesman for Mr Rudd confirmed that US authorities had approached Australia and other countries about resettling the detainees.

"Australia, along with a number of other countries, has been approached to consider resettling detainees from Guantanamo Bay," the Prime Minister's spokesman said.

Latest

"Any determination for an individual to come to Australia would be made on a case-by-case basis. All persons accepted to come to Australia would have to meet Australia's strict legal requirements and go through the normal and extremely rigorous assessment processes."

The Australian reported yesterday that the US State Department had over the past 12 months cabled more than 100 countries seeking help to clear out Guantanamo Bay.

The incoming administration of Barack Obama, which plans to shut the facility within two years, is expecting help in resettling more than 250 detainees still held at Guantanamo Bay.

About 60 detainees have been cleared for release by US authorities but are unable to return to their homelands because they fear retribution.

Greens senator Rachel Siewert told The Weekend Australian Guantanamo Bay was a creation of the US Government and was therefore Washington's problem. She said the Prime Minister should refuse to take any detainees.

"It's something they should be dealing with on home soil," she said. "We understand some can't go back to their homelands, but in those instances the US Government should be helping them within America."

Guantanamo Bay was opened in 2002 as a way of holding detainees caught in the war on terror beyond the reach of the US courts, where civilian rules for detention would apply.

Some European countries, keen to improve relations with the US, are understood to have said they are willing to help with resettling the detainees.

Germany and Portugal have acknowledged they were considering taking detainees, but The Netherlands has ruled out taking any, arguing it is the responsibility of the country that imprisoned them.

While some inmates are al-Qa'ida linchpins such 9/11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, others have been held for years without charge or trial and without presenting any threat to the US or the West.

Australian David Hicks was held there for five years before being convicted last year of providing material support for terrorism. He was returned to Australia to serve nine months' jail before being released and placed under a control order, which expired last weekend.

Another Australian, Mamdouh Habib, was released from Guantanamo Bay without charge in 2005.

Mr Obama & Mr Rudd, Sydney already has, in the south west, entire suburbs occupied (Sydney's "occupied territories") by Islamic terrorists their sympathysers and facilitators, Islamic gang rapists,Islamic murderers and bash artists,Islamic drug distribution and car rebirthing networks.
Many would say that Australia hating Muslim terrorists are just what the Australian Labor Party thinks Australia needs more of as it is consistant with their policy of divide and conquer the Australian people via their disgraced Multiculturalism policy.

The federal opposition leader, Malcolm Turnbull should make this latest planed attack upon Australia by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) as the line in the sand,and say loud and clear now that the ALP's policy of going soft on terrorists,terrorism and illegal entrants will be totally demolished upon the election of a Trunbull led federal Liberal Government.
