If you don't know what this is about, please read this!
This is the list of adverts that are either plain offensive, don't make sense or don't reflect the truth of the reality. What we need to do is VOTE for the most offensive advert and one about which we are prepared to complain to the BCCSA.
Remeber, it's numbers that count so if the BCCSA receives a lot of complaints about one ad, we would have started a process. I doubt that our voices will count if we complain about an ad just because it irritates us. We need to think of sound reasons to get the offensive adverts off our TV screens.
The list:
1.Brand Power ad
2. Zola's Cell C ad/ Free Calls on Weekend ad
3. Virgin phone ad with granny checking black dudes' underwear using her walking stick.
4.Build it
5.Mac washing powder
6.The sugar ad with kids in scrap car and granny comes out and starts dancing
7.Ace maize meal
8.Bonita’s medical fund: “mfundisi, that will be done by my medical aid” or some crap like that! REALLY!!!
9.The ABSA personal loan “izok’phelisa”, where that dude got a personal loan to buy an outfit and to impress girls, are we really that shallow??? I take offense!!! Why doesn’t ABSA encourage people to do constructive stuff ka chelete like Standard Bank??? That gaad for the NCA!!!
10.Harpic ads. *sigh*.
11.The Panarotti ad: “dad’s a cheapo” ya buy one get one free pizza or something. di popaye tsele ke bo Darkie. A e tsamaye!!!
12.Aquafresh: “Smiley, it’s getting cold” I hope it won’t be playing ka 2010. It could seriously dicredit Rhoo!
13. The cockroach add with the black family! Y the hell would a black family bomb their entire home for a stupid roach!
14.Dairymilk or sungthing that ad where the guy is walking in a park and send his gal a sims (SMS) "WHERE ARE YOU?" and when he sees madala & gogo he sends another sims "I MISS YOU" eish it doesnt make sense at all. Or are they implying that we dont make sense????
15. Sunshine D
16. AVBOB ad.
17. Castle Lager Ad. 'A man puts his signature to the things he value the most' it is a good advert,but i dont like the part where that white dude shows off his company name Norman & Sons and a Darkie shows a medal: dont get me wrong i know it means a lot in a way, does it also mean that's all we're good at ,Sports.
18.Knorrox adverts must go,'Are you day dreaming again Thabo?' Geeeez!
