A TV ad campaign featuring lingerie-clad women praying for beautiful hair has been banned by the advertising watchdog because it might offend Christians. The series of three TV ads, created by ad agency TBWA Manchester for beauty firm ghd, had an overall religious theme using the tagline “Ghd. A new religion for hair”.

Ghd’s ads showed scantily-clad women in various positions, such as lying on a bed, while looking upwards with their hands clasped as if in prayer. Some had objects that looked like votive candles and rosary beads. Viewers could hear the thoughts of each of the women, in various languages including English, which centered on having great hair.

One woman was thinking “May my new curls make her feel choked with jealousy“, while another was saying to herself “May my flirty flicks puncture the heart of every man I see“. At the end of each ad an endline ran: “Thy will be done”.

The Advertising Standards Authority received a total of 23 complaints, including one from the Archdeacon of Liverpool, objecting that the ads were offensive to the Christian faith. What say you Christians out there?? Offensive or just plain cool and creative? I’m with the latter! =)

Oh well, I’m sure the models still got paid even if the ad wasn’t show. Hehe!

Playboy surely make titillating ads! Hehe!

NO rain..

After the rain.. Hallelujah! Hehe!

Famous Korean actress Jeun JiHyun in this commercial was banned from Korean TV network. I wonder why.. Do they ban sexy girls over there?? LOL

Ryanair has branded the advertising regulator’s banning of its ad featuring a Britney Spears-style schoolgirl “absurd” and has vowed to keep running the campaign. The press ad was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority on the grounds that it could cause widespread offense because the image linked teenage girls with sexually provocative behaviour. Ryanair has issued a defiant statement branding the ASA as “Monty Pythonesque” and “out of touch”.

The low-cost airline said the ruling was “remarkable even by the absurd standards of the ASA quango” because, Ryanair claimed, the picture featured a fully clothed model. Ryanair added that the image could not be considered offensive because newspapers, both mainstream and tabloid, frequently run pictures of topless models and celebrities “in various stages of undress”. So true! I wonder what ASA was thinking when they banned this quite harmless print ad. Tsk!

What do you prefer? A brunette or blonde? This and more you’ll see in the video of ultimate rivalry below!

Yes, this is really a movie! LOL! From Germany I think.. Go watch the trailer, it’s risque and hilarious!
