Have a few not been wrapped on the knuckles for using the wrong platform footage in TV ads?

It wasn't as good as the Mr T one.

The problem with people finding offence with adverts is that you might think its ok but someone else will complain, usually over nothing.

Take the two american rights groups that had two UK ads pulled because they found offence with them even though the ads was never or going to be shown in the us.

the asa are inconsistent with what gets pulled and what stays.
