Default Cactus Kid ad banned after complaints
Quote:
A TV ad for the Oasis fruit drink has been pulled by Coca Cola following complaints from viewers.

The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) upheld more than 30 objections to the commercial, saying it should not be aired again in its current form.

The ad features young lovers Cactus Kid and Cactus Girl, who elope after she falls pregnant.

The ASA said in a statement: "We considered that because the ad could be interpreted to condone underage sex and teenage pregnancy, the innuendo was inappropriate and likely to cause serious or widespread offence."

Coca-Cola said it did not mean to upset viewers, adding that the commercials are aimed at people in their 20s who would like the "edgy humour".

People will complain about anything these days

It was unnecessary cos it didn't make sense, but then I can't see how it could possible cause someone offence.

This advert is dangerous - it promotes the use of mescaline.

I have a cactus kid poster in my room.

Well, it's not actually a poster, I stole it on a drunk walk home (it was on the side of a telephone box)

Looks cool though.

Ridiculous. What - do they think people are going to watch the add and then deliberately go and get knocked up?

ARGH. I hate all these places like Ofcom and TV Watchdog.
Why are people so pathetic!?

They honestly think when we see this advert we think
"OMG THAT YOUNG GIRL IS HAVING UNDERAGE SEX AND RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME"

NO!
When I watch that advert, I laugh because its funny and it sells the drink!

BRING CACTUS KID BACK!!

I always felt a bit uncomfortable about those ads. I'm not saying they should be banned but they were in poor taste.
