A controversial Durex advert was banned from being aired during the 2012 Super Bowl. The grim one-minute clip, which starts with a bloodstained robber fleeing from a bank and then flashes back through key disturbing moments in his life, is one of the condom brand's most talked-about ads. One scene features the man as a child putting a cat in an oven and standing back to watch the animal suffer. When the flashback arrives at the robber's conception, it reveals that his parents did not use any contraception. The video ends with the simple image of a condom on a black background with the caption, "For Your Protection. And Ours." The advert was uploaded to YouTube and has been seen by millions of viewers. The dismissal of the ad from the Super Bowl was because critics said that the use of scare tactics to promote contraception was inappropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh9XwSgCigc
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).
