An amusing news article I spotted whilst I was travelling on our local train.
Anne Summers takes a spanking. ' Offensive' Halloween Radio Ad blocked.
Anne Summers lingerie retailer's ad was blocked as it featured 'fairly overt sexual references in terms of sound effects', and it comes despite the firm applying for a post-watershed time slot.
The ad starts with screams of pain, fitting in with the Halloween theme, which are then later replaced with 'screams of pleasure'.
Jacqueline Gold, chief executive of Ann Summers, said 'We are proud of our brand that always sparks debate and we hope this gets people talking about sex in a positive way.'
A spokesperson for the firm went on to say that it believes Britons are broad-minded enough to understand the 'topical and cheeky nature' of the radio advert.
