Yahoo to Pull UK TV Ad
Posted by Paul Szynol on Monday, November 25 @ 13:55:14 EST News
After receiving complaints about its portrayal of homosexuals, the Independent Television Commission suspended the broadcasting, in the UK, of one of Yahoo's television ads.
The ad depicts a naked bridegroom tied to a tree in a stag party prank, who is then eyed from behind by a predatory, camp-looking man. The accompanying voiceover ends with the tag: "You can't trust the kindness of strangers."
Coverage is here and here.
