Go Get Fucked

Look at this ad. Pretty tame. In fact, I don’t think there would be any harm in letting a child see that, as they wouldn’t cop on to the sexual meaning.

Complaints about a television ad for a sex lubricant that appeared before its 11pm restriction were not upheld by a watchdog.

Viewers complained the ad for Durex Play O gel, which showed the facial expressions of women who appeared to be experiencing sexual ecstasy, was offensive and unsuitable for broadcast.

The ad was cleared for broadcast after 11pm but appeared on Channel 4 shortly after 10pm during Gordon Ramsay’s F Word and Derren Brown Presents the 3D Magic Spectacular programmes.

Channel 4 said Gordon Ramsay’s F Word was of an adult nature and contained strong language and sexual innuendo, and that viewers of the programme would not have been offended by the ad.

The Advertising Standards Authority noted the viewers who complained believed the ad was unsuitable for broadcast at any time.

Anything of even the slightest sexual nature and these joyless, repressed trolls are running to the phone. The miserable cunts spend at least a week out of each month complaining about things.

I seriously think they should just kill themselves, so the world can be a little bit brighter for the rest of us.
