This artist’s impression of an ad appeared in an Evening Times article on the 27th May this year.
But this ad will not run as it has been banned by Glasgow City Council as it has been deemed just a bit too racy for the general public. If you can’t see why, let’s take another look at it, but this time in close-up.
I think when you look at the ad a little but closer, then you do finally realise what the problem is – it does in fact contain the word ‘bum’. What Reebok were thinking when they considered posting this ad is beyond me. Maybe they were trying to court controversy, just using shock tactics to sell trainers, or maybe Reebok’s advertising agency is nothing but a cesspool of depraved filth and obscenity.
How proud I am to live in a city where we, the citizens and the children of our communities can be protected from the menace of these vile people. I’m glad I’ll never have to see that word anywhere.
Although, having said that, when I got home I did in fact see this when I was sitting down to watch some teatime TV:
Oh well….
Shocking! Thank goodness Glasgow City Council have their eye on the ball!
In the article a spokesperson for greaves sports said that he was ‘baffled’ as taxis often show ads for lapdancing clubs. But I bet those don’t have the 3 letter ‘b’ word on them
