3 Banned Adverts


Banned Skype Advert
Skype is a free online video calling software that allows people to communicate using a webcam and a microphone. However, the ASA received several complaints about the advert in question as the public believed it was misleading. The public complained that the advert had exaggerated the audio and video quality that the Skype service had actually provided.

Banned iPhone 3G Advert
The iPhone 3G is a technological advancement in the field of telephone communication; Its like having a phone and computer in one. However the advert in question made the iPhone 3G seem super fast. The public complained to the ASA that the advertisement had misled them into believing that the internet was superfast and that apps would load within the blink of an eye.

Banned VW Advert
The word “Bollocks” in England means testicles and is also a word commonly used when things go wrong. However, when an advert was aired which featured mainly a young girl, perhaps at the age of 8, constantly using the word “Bollocks”, the ASA had banned this advert from airing in the UK.
