Those government scaremongering global warming adverts -
the ones with the doe-eyed child being read a traumatic eco-story about CO₂.
I was delighted to see the ASA banned them. It made me want to eat a croissant of smugness.

I let off some celebratory aerosols
whilst running all my taps at once, in celebration.

Oh, that reminds me.
There were some even more hysterical ones about the dangers of smoking hash, that used hyperactive "characters" to represent different parts of the brain and screamed about the possible dangers of smoking cannabis as if they were cast-iron certainties. They only lasted about a week before the plug was pulled.

I remember this
It's adverts like this that make me think it might be fun to get someone nearby to take drugs, then watch the hilarious consequences.

Aargh! The fake laughing that actor did
was the worst acting I have seen since Ro-land Browning on Grange Hill.

Oh
I'm with you!

I didn't realise that the asa banned them! Bonus.

I complained about those fucking lying adverts saying that speeding was a factor in 1/3 of all accidents, when their own biased reports even claimed it was far less.

The response was along the lines of, "It's ok to lie in an advert if the advert is for a good cause, so fuck off".

It's good to see they've started doing their job properly.
