So how far can you push inferring without actually saying naughty words in the advertising landscape? We got pinged by the editor of The Advertiser here in Adelaide for trying to use the word ‘prick’ in an ad (referring to the kind of prick you get on your finger…sort of).
Here’s a couple of examples of things that obviously get through the cracks that I have noticed in the last day.
1) Harden the FUIC up
2) Rock out with your C*$k out (this one is on an A-Frame)
3) VILF (Go! advertising their vampire night!)
How far is too far? Or, are we too much of a nanna nation when it comes to an idea winning out over a censor?
