BBC NEWS | UK | Ban on rerun of eggs TV advert

Thats right, they have banned a famous advert from the 50's as "its not promoting a varied diet"

Anyone esle think its getting out of control?

Whats next? Banning people from swimming without armsbands as its unsafe?

Or maybe ban the drinking of tea as you COULd burn yourself?

hehehe yeah tbh going to amsterdam showed how overly protective the GB government actually is. Over there i was in peril every time i set foot out side my door from high speed cyclists, trams with no barriers and furnature swinging about over head on a bit of rope, did i mind?

nope actually i felt safer and happier the whole time i was there because hay if someone ran me down it was my own fault, just stay off the cycle path and your ok, if i got hit by a tram i shouldnt have been walking on the tracks, theres not the impending fear of being sued for damages over there that every single british county council is currently quaking with. They have (the GB councils) actually banned play grounds in some areas incase a kid falls off a swing Oo


this whole country is one big opressive bundle of anal retentives.

Might as well ban advertising full stop, since the whole point is to sell your product to people.

Fucking eggs, its like the people that work for the broadcasting company believe that if you watch the advert you must eat an egg everyday. Oh noes eggy farts at the office 5 days a week!!!!

Problem is there are no realists in charge anywhere, could you imagine being the kids of the people making the decisions, I am not surprised Emo is on the increase.

On the other hand if the careless fuckers out there didn't sue then it would not be an issue. You can't rely blame councils etc for protecting themselves against the hoards of morons in this country who think (with the law's backing) it's anyone elses fault except theirs when something bad happens.

67 or so fucktards complained to the BBC for showing eastenders on monday fgs, these are the type of people that cause this shit.

Come to Denmark.. We don't care about anything really! Even our politicians are singing old nazi songs and "Sieg Heil'ing" in the middle of our famous amusement park Tivoli.. He did get booted from his political party, but he is already back and going strong again!

Thoguh if you say anything remoting resembling Nazisms your branded a racist or a holocaust denyer.

Like when Bernard Manning died, people say he was racist. He wasnt, he took the piss out of everyone

Your bottom burps stink when you eat eggs :(

Which makes it so much more worth it, don't you think? Thinking you've just let go of your last stomach gasses and then you feel a rumbling.. The last massive burp is on it's way! And when you finally get it out you feel totally relieved and you won't even worry about the smell only the people around :D
