ASA Banned Adverts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_UOVFqjay0 - Nike advert.

This advert has obvious and clear reasons to why the ASA had banned the advert. The content within the advert causes an bad effect on children that view the advert as it causes distress to young children viewing the advert. The advert represents that by wearing Nike trainers, you can escape from your fears and and problems, which is misleading.
The advert also relates to movie scenes as it contains a similar feature to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The reasons to why i think the ASA have banned this advert is that it was too extreme for the public to view and would cause enormous amounts of distress to young children and the elderly.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imIkeTkAopY - KFC.

This advert was banned due to the representation of bad manners and giving the UK a bad name. The workers in the office represent that the UK work force are not well mannered and to have little or no courtesy. The ASA's main reason to why it was banned is most likely to be because of the inappropriate way the office workers communicate.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/video/2008/aug/27/apple.advertising - IPhone.

This advert was banned due to false advertising and misleading millions of costumers into buying apple's IPhone. The iPhone was shown to contain flash and java to support content available on the web pages. It led to viewers of the advertisement to go out and purchase a product without all the features shown.
The ASA's reason to ban the advertisment was to prevent consumers from being mislead into buying a product that doesn't have all the features said in the advertisement.
