I can't believe it went through an in-house approvals process and then someone actually signed off to pay for it all? Surely they would know it wouldn't fly? Or is a way to get advertising in all countries via the news a bit cheaper?

Either really smart marketing or really dumb.

Funny though :D

That's the second ad they've had pulled. Remember the one with the mum who is a stripper? All class.

Got a third of the way down, then a link to another news story caught my eye, clicked that instead.

"Air hostesses strip for charity"

I think they showed that one on TV, or maybe I just saw it somewhere..

I'm leaning towards this.
You can't pay for that sort of media, and we all just watched it :)

I had Nandos yesterday for lunch. Asked for it to be as hot as they could make it. Not much better than missus' lemon and herb. So disappoint.

This. It *can* cost a company millions to push an ad to a prime-time TV slot. This way, it'll end up on the 5, 6, and 7 o'clock news... Extremely clever marketing.

Perhaps the original brief with those people should have been this:
Mugabe is being grilled, Mao Zedong remains under fire and Gaddafi has been fried.

Had Nando's for lunch brilliant as always. It's not about mouth destroying heat it's tasty, if you want epic hotness go try the Chili death burger or whatever it's called at that burger joint in Dianella I forget the name of. :p
