9. That Paddy Power Advert For Money Back Betting Specials
A TV commercial showing a cat being kicked into a tree by a blind football player was the most complained about UK advert of 2010. The Paddy Power online betting commercial notched up 1,313 complaints, enough to rank it third on the UK's all-time list of most complained about ads. However the ASA did not ban or censure the campaign. The ASA said the ad, which was accused of being offensive to blind people and encouraging animal cruelty, was "surreal and light-hearted". Still, if you're a fan of cats, you probably won't like this ad AT ALL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEmA_QF30GI
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
