Apparently one of the top 10 complained about advertisments was one for a fizzy french orange drink with 286 complaints. So what was so distressing about the frogs pimping sugary water that tastes like sick1. People apparenty "complained about the overly sexual nature of the scene."
Yeah, ok. But the advert featured CARTOON ANIMALS for fucks sake.
Here it is, take a look...
Actually that antelope is pretty hot, nearly as good as the Cadbury Caramel bunny.
OK so rather amusing, couple of film references in there to American Beauty and that one with the woman doing the shower thing on stage and it's all a bit tongue in cheek and a bit of fun - mind you the squid thing is a bit creepy. So what is wrong with these 280 odd people that they could be so bothered by that that they got off their wobbly arses and took time to write a letter of complaint! Hell what you just saw was the unexpurgated French version so I bet the 30 second UK one was a hell of a lot tamer.
I'm seeing more and more of this. It's the new prudery and we need to fight back people. I say more furry boobs and sexually provocative jungle creatures straddling bottles and dancing to salsa tunes.
PS: Second zebra from the left... anyone have her phone number?
1 Actually it doesn't, I rather like it

Agree totally. Fun and artistic with bottled drinks. In the UK we can only respond with a rerun of the Big Brother Kinga wine bottle incident/incident.And that was an empty bottle. Lame and vulgar by comparison.
Not sure if you've seen the coco-pops one where they ask "what's going on in your bowl of coco pops" and zoom in to find a bunch of brown hippos bathing in chocolate milk - very disturbing!
