The latest instalment in the Walkers Crisps advert has now arrived. To see the video and a bit more info about the advert it is HERE
After the massive complaints about the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross incident concerning a prank call. (if you are a secluse like Emily Dickinson and do not know what I am going on about its HERE)
After all the complaints about that prank call Jonathan Ross got suspended by the BBC.
I thought if I made a complaint about something petty like the incident noted above, maybe I could get the Walkers advert withdrawn.
Why would I want to do that? Well in the walkers advert neither Gary Lineker or Cat Deeley are wearing helmets whilst riding bicycles. Now this is not illegal but I think it is irresponsible.
Now if you know me, you know I am very rarely serious. And this is the same - I am not being serious, but I would like to see how far I can make this petty complaint of the two celebrities not wearing helmets whilst cycling go.
I mean I could write in to newspapers etc. . .
I have nothing against Walkers or the celebs as it were. I just want to see how far the petty complaint can go. I complained in great detail to the ASA Click here to visit about it.
Saying that it was irresponsible as the celebs are very influential especially whilst many children ride bikes.
Also the government is trying to get more people to cycle.
And Health and Safety regulations etc. . .
Well we shall see how far it goes. But I guess rather like the whole Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand prank, my complaint is all just a prank.
Take it easy.
