Apple iPod Ads: Too Racy for the USA
Sometimes living in the United States is downright oppressive. The terrorists want our whole society to vanish, and the advertisements are dumbed down and scrubbed clean for the sake of a few highly vocal prudes.
Not so in the Czech Republic, where the copy accompanying this iPod advertisement reads, "iPod, the best 'partner' for this year." Or maybe it reads, "iPod, better than sex this year." Accurate translations are invited and welcome.
And now we'll probably get complaints for showing this ad here at Gizmodo. We're betting none of those whiners will come from Europe. Anyway, nice way to wake up on a Friday morning. Charlie White
I agree and good grief is right. I think the ad is funny. Good for the Czechs.
Covering your six, martin...
and will risk being banned...
The shame!! Nasty, nasty, nasty....
When they do it, that makes us somehow prudes.
Course if I had my way, I'd support this whole-heartedly: French porn stars make T-shirt ads [www.latimes.com]
It's just a handful of jerks. They usually cross the line eventually and are banned, just like Old Cracker.
