HHCL

View here in Adland's commercial-archive Pot Noodle - Desperate Dan (2003) :60 (UK)

Pot noodle ,now calling themselves the slag of all Snacks, Have been told not to show this ad before the 9PM watershed. In it,a man gets bored with his wife`s sandwiches and phone`s his mate (in which he qoute`s,something like a kebab, but harder) who recommends`s pot noodle,in which the man has to resort to the seedy backstreet`s to get and after multiple slaps from prostitutes,he finally get`s to share one.
The ad was pushed to the watershed obviously to the
blatant sex references, but it is ever so funny (as is everything directed by Traktor) and is currently showing on the advertising section on media.guardian.co.uk

these ad`s took the mick of some of the media`s stupid marketing ideas. It claims to show Hula Hoops Ad Exec`s Dumping eel`s into the UK`s water supply.
Apparently mosted of the complaint`s where from parents whose kids had seen the ad,and thought that it was actually gonna happen. Not forgetting the complaints from animal lovers, and people who think that thing`s shouldn't be released into the water supply.You can watch the two ads at

XBOX AD (LIFE IS SHORT PLAY MORE) CIRCA 2000'S

there was this ad campaign in the early 2000's promoting mircosofts nex generation
computer console called the xbox the ad was about a woman about to give birth and then
the baby shoots out of her womb and flew through the window and the baby aged rapidly
until it crashes into its grave and the slogan at the end stating life is short play more
but it was aired during the peak childrens hour and the parents complained to the asa about
the nature of the ad and expectant mothers allso complained to the asa also about the ad so
the asa deemed the ad shocking and disturbing so the ad got pulled of tv .
