- It is not good to drag a person into unwanted public attention. Even if it is a leader, we should respect his/her privacy. We can’t just poke our inquisitive nose into other’s life and laugh at them (unless it is Britney Spears or Paris Hilton).
- ‘’get ready for some hot action’. But, before the customers can do anything, the advertising watchdog took a hot action
- Burger King, don’t drag gods into your ads
- The campaign asked consumers to suggest names for the biscuit holes. The long list of responses included “goody balls,” “creamy sweet holes,” “puffy nuts,” “glory holes,” and “bisticles.”
- PETA’s animosity towards women and fat people
- World Wildlife Fund (WWF) made a comparison between 9/11 and 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami through this ad created by DDB Brasil. Regretted soon.
- AIDS campaign makes Saddam, Stalin and Hitler turn in their graves
- An angel, with a digital halo wings and a rosary in her right hand. The problem is that we won’t want any topless angels to come during our prayers.
- Husbands beware! PETA targets housewives
- Church billboard drags Joseph and Mary to bedroom of controversies
