What a concept.

I saw a Visa ad last week that advocated the use of a credit card to make yourself attractive to the opposite sex.

Visa goes Axe.

“The delegate added that he does not watch adverts on television.

“I have some sort of filter,” he said.”

- I’d say most politicians have some kind of filter that keeps them out of touch with reality as a whole.

As a tax payer having to spend money on wages for politicians like these who doesn’t have anything to better to do during their work day sure is depressing me.

If parasites like these tried to perform a decent day’s work in their life, they’d collapse both mentally and physically.

Men like Reagan and Churchill were politicians, these people are just an abomination. Provided the public didn’t have to pay them money for their ‘services’, they would at best be a weird form of entertainment.

"We think that they are exploiting young people by showing that all problems should be solved by shopping."

Well, this is blatently false. Everybody knows beer is the answer to and cause of all life's problems.

Ok...now shopping is bad?????

Maybe it's too depressing for Swedes to think about shopping after they pay out over 50-60% in taxes.... :o

This is totally disgusting. They should be spending their time finding a cure for rubber bands that dry out and crumble. I’ve had to spend countless hours scraping and dissolving rubber band residue off my possessions and I’m damned tired of it. I want action on this and I want it now!

Isn’t there a high rate of suicide in Sweden?

Whoa.

Uh, I think they should consider their muzzie “problem” if they have nothing better to worry about than people with shopping problems.

“an advert that promotes shopping”

What are they supposed to do? Should they have an ad saying “don’t come to our store and don’t buy our products?”

I imagine that these people are going to stand up really well to the Islamists. Prolonged exposure to Socialism is destructive of the human soul and spirit. It hollows out the soul until it implodes at the slightest discomfort, and saps the spirit, which finally crumbles to dust when confronted by force.

Geez. What the muslims don’t destroy of Swedish culture, the Swedes are determined to destroy themselves. Isn’t this the country that tried to outlaw urinals a few years back?

A group of local politicians from Sollefteå in northern Sweden have lodged a complaint to the Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket) after viewing an advert that promotes shopping

Imagine that, a commercial advertisement that promotes shopping.

"A group of local politicians from Sollefteå in northern Sweden have lodged a complaint to the Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket) after viewing an advert that promotes shopping. "

Might the Consumer Agency explain that whole market concept these clowns?

"I have money, you have goods or services I want, let's make a deal."
