Saw that this morning tis awesome!

For me, the best ad ever is the dark Lynx one, with the chocolate man walking around. I laugh out loud watching it. However did they get away with that?

It's not like he's walking around with his chocolate cock out?

No, I thought people might have complained on a racial basis.

Yes, the way men made of chocolate are stigmatised in today's society is shocking. :)

People would have been idiots then.

Like that Cravendale ad.

Some people wouldn't let the fact that he's made of chocolate get in the way of their complaining.

I think if he'd had an afro and been listening to to the Wu Tang Clan there may have been a racial inferences, but he was a pretty innocuous looking guy that happened to be made of chocolate.

I think you're a bit of a nut for thinking of race, even though you weren't thinking of it yourself, you were thinking that other people would think it....

Um, yes. :)

I hate that ad, because the guy's face is scary and grins inanely, even when bits of him snap off. Don'tlikeit.

Many adverts have received complaints on an ever weaker argument: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/video/2009/may/12/advertising-asa

Yes, I did actually think other people would go off about it! But I like it, his grin is so cheesy, it makes me laugh. There is a hint of scariness about it though.
