Golf Ad


I have been sent this picture, by someone who wanted me to post it and put a link to the Advertising Watchdog.

They dont agree with VW using the image of a falling window cleaner to sell cars

I didn't complain.

Maybe they will be along shortly to explain ?

from what I can see the guy must of been soaping up with his eyes shut, or someone put the price signs out whilst he was looking for his squeegie.

If it were an hot day he would be stuffed, all the soap would dry before he squeeged it off.

Is a stepladder really the right tool for the job ?

 and why would you start squeeging so low down, surely you would drive the squeegie to the corner first ?



Seriously though, the HSE are looking into this, as are a couple of big trad organisations.

Dave
Why is he complaining? Its a serious question.............Does he see it as being offensive that peole might find it funny? personally, I think it is funny but certainly wouldnt be offended by it.
