Someone has got the wrong end of the stick here!
The answer I gave is an entirely appropriate, corrrect and accurate response to the points raised by the OP.
If that causes ranting and caterwauling then it is not really my problem if it is wholly misinterpreted.
Let me repeat myself and make it very clear...........
I made a simple and plain statement referring to the original advert and the grounds of integrity, honesty and truthfulness, all of which are lacking in the advert. These are standards that we require in advertising in the UK and are enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority. They clearly state that:
The Advertising Codes contain wide-ranging rules designed to ensure that advertising does not mislead, harm or offend. Ads must also be socially responsible and prepared in line with the principles of fair competition. These broad principles apply regardless of the product being advertised.
In addition, the Advertising Codes contain specific rules for certain products and marketing techniques. These include rules for alcoholic drinks, health and beauty claims, children, medicines, financial products, environmental claims, gambling, direct marketing and prize promotions. These rules add an extra layer of consumer protection on top of consumer protection law and aim to ensure that UK advertising is responsible.
The ASA administers the rules in the spirit as well as the letter, making it almost impossible for advertisers to find loopholes or ‘get off on a technicality’. This common sense approach takes into account the nature of the product being advertised, the media used, and the audience being targeted.
I then posted a video that uses the same "innuendo", but with a more classy and sophisticated presentation and for a diffrent cause - Health promotion. Clearly illustrating both my meaning and the context, that one wasin better "taste" than the other
There is a diffrence in the two adverts in that one has high standards of integrity, honesty and truthfulness and the other does not meet the same standard
This completely answers the original question, the reason we cannot have infomercials like that is because they are unlikely to pass the more stringent standards we have in the UK.
