Offensive Police Terror Advert Banned
Reporting people because they use cash and don’t talk to the neighbours seems a little silly. But the Association of Chief Police Officers decided to run with such a campaign as a counter terrorism measure. If these are the chiefs, what must the non-chiefs be like.
Radio ads appeared on Talksport – the only channel targeted by ACPO ( this is a question and answer session in itself), and today the Advertising Standards Authority ASA ruled it could cause serious offense to large numbers of people.
Behaviour which causes serious offense is frowned upon in the country but luckily we can report offensive behaviour to the poli… oh.

Fantastic! – This was one of the worst adverts used to condition people I’ve heard. Great to see it gone gone gone…
Or is it? Is it ok to be removed now AFTER having served its purpose? The trends continue. Muuch like a prosecutor making statements in a courtroom – it doesn’t matter if they are true or not, once said the jury will have them in their mind. So too the message of this advert has been placed into the public conciouness…
